The 4 on top are virtually equal.

That's the closest I've ever seen them, from 1 to 4. Just 14 points.

Kallis has moved up one place to 5 and Gibbs, 2 to 6.

The biggest movers were Smith and Gayle who both moved up 7 places.

Gilly continues his slide and is now 17th.

-------------------------------------------------

Andre Nel is the biggest mover - up 13 places to 13 and Ntini continues his steady rise up the list.

For those wondering how the hell Brett Lee moved up a place, it was more Collymore dropping 4 places that caused that.
