Phil Salt - The Best Cricketer of the Week

 



The fifth highest week for point scoring with 9 triple figure scores. Last week's highest score would see you finishing 5th this week.


Weekly Top 5

1. Phil Salt - 303 - Very very strong form from the English Kolkata player courtesy of two half centuries at Strike Rates over 200. A month ago he was 18th in the Overall List; this week he moves into 10th spot.

2. Chamari Athapaththu - 253 - Seems rather unfair that one of the best all rounders to play the Women's game is turning out against part timers from Uganda and Scotland to qualify for the T20 World Cup...but the Sri Lankan is certainly making the most of playing the minnows.

3. Harry Brook - 176 - 126 against Derbyshire sees him fine early season form for Yorkshire continue. Leicestershire are next up for the young man. He moves off bottom spot after just 4 active week, pushing Khawaja to bottom spot.

4. Yashasvi Jaiswal - 171 - Took him a while but the Rajasthan player is now in good form once more with 91 runs scored across 2 innings.

5. Daryl Mitchell - 163 - Snapped out of a series of poor run scoring with 52 against Hyderabad. Also notable for the fact that he scored 70 Fielding points in that game courtesy of 5(!!!) catches.

Overall Top 5

1. Babar Azam - 2117 - Ended the series against New Zealand with his best performance, netting 69 runs and 129 points. His lead is down to 386 and has a week off now before a T20 series against Ireland.

2. Yashasvi Jaiswal - 1731 - Holds second spot for a month (shared for one week). Moves closer to first place this week - but does not shake off the chasing pack.

3. Chamari Athapaththu - 1632 - Takes advantage of a fairly weak field of opponents to move up to her highest position in three months.

4. James Vince - 1443 - Is not living up to expectation in the County Championship this season. After last week's score of 16, he bagged just 31 this week. Down a place to 4th as a result.

5. Ravindra Jadeja - 1421 - Back in his safe space of 5th place after a fairly disappointing couple of games for Chennai. Only 58 points from Ravindra in 6th and another 23 to the encroaching Travis Head.

Other Movers

Two players fell outside our weekly Top 5 but still made overall progress. Travis Head's 111 saw him finish in 8th for the week but he moves up to 7th whilst Harmer's 103 was enough to see him up a place to 17th.

Top 3 Average Points per Active Week

1. Babar Azam - 176.42 (Down from 180.73)
2. Chamari Athapaththu - 148.36 (Up from 137.9)
3. Yashasvi Jaiswal - 133.15 (Up from 130)

Phil Salt's good week sees his average swell by 19.35 to 109.45 whilst Jadeja's off week sees him drop by 9.72 to 129.18.
