Brian Lara is still top of the world batting ratings for test cricket despite taking a break from the game since the beginning of March.
Former West Indies captain Lara, who is to emerge from his self-imposed exile for the forthcoming tour of England, leads Sachin Tendulkar by 10 points in the latest ratings issued by sponsors Pricewaterhouse Coopers (PwC) on Tuesday.
Lara, who missed a two-test encounter against Zimbabwe in the Caribbean recently and is not playing in the current home three-test rubber against Pakistan, is still number one in the ratings because they are based on performances during the past two years.
In the last 18 months Lara has scored 1,023 test runs at an average of more than 50.
By contrast, he is only 18th ins the PwC batting ratings for one-day internationals.
That is because in his last 30 one-day innings Lara has passed 50 only twice, and on 10 occasions has failed to get into double figures.
