The West Indies skipper was also in dismal form on the three-Test tour of New Zealand earlier in 2006 where he could only manage 90 runs from five innings.

Lara, however, is the only West Indies batsman in the top 20 as Chris Gayle is perched at 22nd in the standings with Shivnarine Chanderpaul at 23rd and Ramnaresh Sarwan at 30th.

Dravid is the only Indian batsman in the top ten list, which has Ricky Ponting, Jacques Kallis and Inzamam-ul Haq in the top three spots.

Among the bowlers, Muttiah Muralitharan maintained his stranglehold on the top spot followed by Makhaya Ntini and Shane Warne. Ace Indian spinner Anil Kumble was placed eighth.
