Fast bowler Jerome Taylor's heroics against England on Saturday has propelled him 11 places up the ICC Test-bowling rankings to sixth, his highest-ever spot in international cricket's rating system.
The giant leap has put the 24-year-old just behind the fifth-place South African Makhaya Ntini and the fourth-place Australian Mitchell Johnson. Ace Sri Lankan off-spinner, Muttiah Muralitharan, remains on top of the rankings.
Taylor fired West Indies to a comprehensive innings and 23-run win, when he helped rout the English for a paltry 51 with a devastating haul of five for 11 in the first Test at Sabina Park.
The right-arm pacer, who made his debut six years ago, has so far taken 76 wickets from 23 Tests.
