Stirling scored a century in the first ODI last Thursday and is in 10th place on 258 points. O’Brien is one spot further up in 9th on 261 points after his all-round top-class performance over the two days that earned him the player of the series.

Trent Johnston joins them in the rankings earning 18th spot in the Reliance ICC ODI Bowling Rankings with a rating of 611, just one behind England’s Graeme Swann who has a rating of 621.
