On the back of their match-winning performances with the ball, Dale Steyn and Brett Lee have broken into the top ten in the ICC player rankings for Test bowlers.Lee and Steyn jump into joint eighth position after their performances against Sri Lanka and New Zealand in the first of the coinciding two-Test contests being held in Australia and South Africa.Lee finished with figures of 8 for 112 at the Gabba, while Steyn bagged his first ten-wicket haul at The Wanderers as both their teams registered convincing victories. This is the first time the two bowlers have been placed in the top ten and they could move up further during the Tests beginning later this week in Hobart and Centurion.The other change in the top ten for Test bowlers is the advance of Stuart Clark to third place at the expense of Shane Bond, who dropped to fourth. Bond has been ruled out for at least four to six weeks after suffering an abdominal tear.Jacques Kallis’s continued run of prolific scores has seen him displace Mohammad Yousuf from the second position in the rankings for Test batsmen, one place behind Ricky Ponting. Kallis also extended his lead in the rankings for Test allrounders, where he is in first place ahead of Andrew Flintoff.
