Fellow quick Mitchell Johnson is still the highest ranked Australian at seventh despite match figures of 0-170 against England at the Gabba, while Doug Bollinger is ninth.
India's Zaheer Khan has risen to no.3 in the world, his highest ranking to date after figures of 4-90 against New Zealand in the second Test match at Hyderabad, with Dale Steyn (South Africa) and Graeme Swann (England) still in the top two spots.
In the batting department, Sri Lanka skipper Kumar Sangakkara has regained the top spot from India's Sachin Tendulkar.
Australian captain Ricky Ponting has moved up four spots to number 13, the highest ranked Aussie on the list.
