MS Dhoni hung on to his place atop the ODI batting chart, but Australian Nathan Bracken surrendered top slot in bowlers' rankings to Daniel Vettori after his relatively disappointing series against Bangladesh.

In three ODIs, 30-year-old Bracken took just two wickets at an average of 29, which allowed New Zealand captain Vettori topple, the Australian.

Vettori had surged to the top of bowling chart back in February before Bracken swapped places with the left-arm spinner following the second ODI between England and New Zealand in June.

Bracken's team-mate Mitchell Johnson has also slipped one place to fourth but fellow pacer Stuart Clark has jumped four rungs after picking up five wickets at an average of 9.20. He shares 15th spot with the West Indies' Daren Powell and Pakistan's Iftikhar Anjum, according to an ICC release on Sunday.

Shane Watson has returned to the top-50 after rocketing 14 places to share 40th place with India's Praveen Kumar.

Left-arm spinner Abdur Razzak has strengthened his status as Bangladesh's premier bowler by climbing seven places to 27th position while Saqibul Hasan has also jumped seven places to 39th spot.

However, fast bowler Mashrafe Mortaza has failed to defend his 36th position and has dropped to 42nd spot after a wicket-less series.

Why is nobody posting this important news? Dhoni is still at number 1.

And Poondu is still the one true top Indian cricket supporter - retaining his position in a Dhoni-esque way

dude in all seriousness today's women (especially the delicate ones from russia etal) are an embarassment to the sport. this was a sport once adorned by the great steffi graf and martina and monica seles. today's girls are not even a pale shadow. justine quitting was the last straw for me. indeed i believe it is only the williams sisters who lend the sport some kind of credibility any more.
