Australian batsman Michael Hussey has climbed to second in the latest ICC Test Player Rankings.Hussey moved up a rung from third when previous leader Kumar Sangakkara lost points after a failure in Sri Lanka's most recent Test against India.
That allowed West Indies left-hander Shivnarine Chanderpaul to move to the No.1 position, though a strong showing by Sangakkara in the second Test against India will see him regain first place.
Australian captain Ricky Ponting remained in fourth, while Matthew Hayden dropped a rung to seventh, Michael Clarke retained 11th place and Andrew Symonds moved up two to 14th.
While there was no change to the bowling rankings, Sri Lankan off-spinner Muttiah Muralidaran again pushed through the 900-point mark.
Only 19 players have scored 900 points or more in Test history.
South African speedster was second ahead of Australian pair Stuart Clark and Brett Lee and English paceman Ryan Sidebottom.
