South Africa knocks Australia off the top of the world rankings

This is from the ICC media release:

The Proteas have taken over at the summit of the table following Australia’s five-wicket loss to New Zealand in Auckland on Sunday, which cost Michael Hussey’s side two rating points...

It is the first time since the listings began in October 2002 that Australia has not occupied top position.

Here's the latest official rankings:
