He is the first man since former Australia captain Ricky Ponting in December 2007 to do so.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Amla, reacting to his number-one Test ranking, said: \u201cI am surprised and happy with my position as the No.1 ranked Test batsman. However, I\u2019m also mindful that rankings change quite regularly.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s been a great year for our squad, and to be honest I still don\u2019t think that I am the best batsman in our team. What has been most pleasing though for us has been the all-round contribution from everyone in the squad that has been the main reason for our success over the last few years.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNeedless to say, it is always easier to be at the top of your game and successful when you are part of a winning team. Dale and Jacques have been tireless workhorses for the Proteas and continue to consistently put in quality performances for our team, it is no wonder that they are at the top of the bowling and all-rounder rankings.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Fast bowler Dale Steyn has broken the 900-rating points barrier for the second time in his career to retain his number one position in the Reliance ICC Player Rankings for Test bowlers, and Jacques Kallis still heads the Reliance ICC Player Rankings for Test all-rounders.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>South Africa vice-captain AB de Villiers has achieved a career-best fourth position in the batting rankings after knocks of 31 and 103 not out, and Pakistan captain Misbah-ul-Haq has broken into the top 10 for the first time in his career in 10th position (up by three).<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Others to make upward movements in the batting rankings are Pakistan\u2019s Asad Shafiq in 28th (up by four) and Faf du Plessis of South Africa in 34th (up by four).<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Dale Steyn breaks 900 ratings points barrier again<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Player of the match in the Johannesburg Test, Dale Steyn, has broken the 900-rating points barrier for the second time in his career in the bowling rankings, thanks to spells of six for eight and five for 52.<\/p>\n<p>Steyn now has 908 ratings points, the best by a Test bowler since Muttiah Muralidaran reached the same rating in July 2008 against India. Steyn last broke the 900-ratings points barrier in November 2011 after the Cape Town Test against Australia. He now sits alongside ICC Cricket Hall of Famer Alan Davidson of Australia in 13th position on the Reliance ICC Best-Ever Test Championship Rating.<\/p>\n<p>Other bowlers to make upward movements are Jacques Kallis in 29th (up by four) and Mohammad Hafeez in 48th (up by eight).<\/p>\n<p>Kallis continues to head the all-rounders\u2019 list, but Hafeez has broken into the top 10 after jumping three places to 10th.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Reliance ICC Test Player Rankings (as on 4 February after Johannesburg Test)&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p> <strong>Batsmen&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Rank&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
