Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium: West Indies fast-bowler Shamar Joseph and England’s left-arm spinner Tom Hartley have made big gains in the ICC Men’s Test Player Rankings, after producing stunning bowling spells in two different continents.

Brushing aside a right toe injury, Joseph’s sensational seven-wicket haul in the second innings helped the West Indies secure a magical eight-run victory over Australia at The Gabba in Brisbane to draw the series with Australia at 1-1. He now finds himself in joint-50th position after moving up 42 places.

Joseph’s tally of 397 rating points is the fifth-best by a West Indies bowler after two Tests, with some past greats ahead of him in that list. Former West Indies players, fast-bowler Colin Croft (447), left-arm spinner Alf Valentine (443), fast-bowler Wes Hall (422) and off-spinner Sonny Ramadhin (407) had more points after their first two Tests.
