Daniel Vettori has reclaimed top spot in the International Cricket Council's latest one day international bowling rankings.

The New Zealand captain moves above Australia's Nathan Bracken, who drops to number three.

Vettori says he's happy with the number one spot, as it keeps him sharp.

Kyle Mills is the next best New Zealander at number five, while Jacob Oram is the second ranked all rounder.

No New Zealanders are ranked in the top twenty for batsmen.
