Virender Sehwag's status as the number one Test batsman is safe for the moment after second placed Michael Clarke dropped three places in the latest ICC rankings released in Dubai today. The Australian Vice-Captain had number-one ranked Sehwag firmly within his sights before the start of the second and last Test against New Zealand in Hamilton. Just 16 ratings points had separated the two. But Clarke has now dropped to fifth position after his contributions of 28 and 63 in the Test.Clarke's fall has moved South African Hashim Amla back to second place with an opportunity to snatch the number-one position from Sehwag when he faces the West Indies in the three-Test series starting in Kingston on June 10.Like Clarke, Australia captain Ricky Ponting too suffered a free-fall, dropping out of top 15. Ponting, who scored 22 and six in Hamilton, has dropped out of the top 15 after slipping six places to 16th position.India remain the number one Test team with three Indian players in the top 10 batsmen's list. They are Sehwag ranked 1st, Gautam Gambhir 6th and Sachin Tendulkar 7th).In the bowlers' chart led by South African Dale Steyn, India have two representatives in Zaheer Khan – 6th and Harbhajan Singh- 7th.
