Ravindra Jadeja - The Best Cricketer of the Week

 

Overall Top 5

1. Ravindra Jadeja - 240 - His second Cricketer of the Week award but 240 isn't the eye-wateringly high numbers he is capable of. Still he moves up a place to 12th, overtaking Phil Salt in the process.

2. Chamari Athapaththu - 205 - Hasn't produced one big performance in the WBBL yet but instead three alright ones...all adds up though.

3. Yashasvi Jaiswal - 157 - One OK innings and one decent one is enough to see him in bronze medal position for the week and move up a place on the Overall list to 7th. He has held that position for 7 weeks in the last 13 but never got higher.

4. Rachin Ravindra - 104 - A more pedestrian week for Rachin than last week's. Despite this he adds a further 74 runs to his burgeoning Test career and moves to 10th on the Overall List.

5. Daryl Mitchell - 86 - Probably one of the more disappointing players on our List manages to pop his head up in the Top 5 for a rare decent outing. He has also moves up to 18th place, seems unlikely he'll go much higher this year though with 399 between him and Kohli.

Overall Top 5

1. Chamari Athapaththu - 4215 - An interesting run in is on the horizon. With the WBBL completed before the BBL kicks off, it is an exercise to see hoe many points she can put between herself and Vince. That gap currently stands at 245.

2. James Vince - 3970 - While some corners of the world call for his return to the England ODI side, Vince remains inactive for a fourth week. He has not been inactive longer than this all year.

3. Travis Head - 3546 - Enjoying another week of rest before potentially opening against India in the Test series.

4. Sam Curran - 3193 - His return to cricket is a meagre one, registering 37 points in the first ODI against West Indies. Needs to be looking over his shoulder with 5th place just 63 points away.

5. Marnus Labuschagne - 3130 - Priming himself for the Test against India where he will prop up a middle order that might be called on sooner than many would like.

Top Three Averages

1. Chamari Athapaththu - 175.63 (Up from 174.34)
2. Babar Azam - 135.04
3. Jos Buttler - 131.5

Jadeja's weekly high score improves his average the most - up 5.57 to 122.95. His team mate Kohli drops the most, down 4.06 to 99.24.

Rachin Ravindra - The Best Cricketer of the Week

 

Weekly Top 5

1. Rachin Ravindra - 243 - Reminded everyone of his Test acumen with his second century in 11 matches and against India no less.

2. Marnus Labuschagne - 213 - His third 200+ score in 6 weeks and plenty more Cricket in the bank for the Aussie.

3. Ravindra Jadeja - 155 - Of course Jadeja ends up in the Top 5 in a week where he plays a test match. it's just what happens.

4. Usman Khawaja - 141 - Such has been his poor year that 141 is his highest score of 2024. He has scored 372 points in the last 3 weeks, which is more then he scored between the end of January and the start of October.

5. Steve Smith - 119 - Disappointed in the Sheffield Shield (23 points; 20 points in the field) but bolstered his score with 56 runs in the One-Day Cup.

Overall Top 5

1. Chamari Athapaththu - 4010 - Will be chomping at the bit to start playing for the Sydney Thunder in the WBBL on Monday. Will she be able to dominate a franchise tournament in a way that she has failed to do previously and continue her reign at the top of the table.

2. James Vince - 3970 - Inactive for 3 successive weeks for only the second time this year. He does have a considerable amount of cricket on the horizon though. The inaugural Global Super League finishes a week before the BBL starts, so the Hampshire skipper should be available.

3. Travis Head - 3546 - Has a 390 point lead but has jeopardised his place as he will miss the upcoming white-ball series against Pakistan to spend time with his family ahead of the high-stakes five-Test series against India, starting November 22 in Perth.

4. Sam Curran - 3156 - His fifth inactive week. He will not see a fifth as the White Ball series against West Indies starts on Thursday.

5. Marnus Labuschagne - 3130 - Has breached a Top 5 that has had the same five figures in it for the last 11 weeks. He regains the 5th place spot he lost nearly 3 months ago.

Other Movers

A meagre score of 58 was the fourth lowest of the week but still sess Jaiswal move up to the 8th place that Brook dumped him out of last week.

Ones To Watch

Jaiswal has the smallest gap of anyone on the List (19 away from Harmer) and is currently in action against New Zealand.

Top Three Averages

1. Chamari Athapaththu - 174.34
2. Babar Azam - 135.04
3. Jos Buttler - 131.5

Usman Khawaja's average improves the most for the second week in a row; up 11.2 in the last fortnight. Daryl Mitchell's already meagre average depreciates the most - down to 80.47 - only Hardie, Marsh and Khawaja have worse.

Usman Khawaja - The Best Cricketer of the Week

 This week has been the second lowest score of 2024 with just 237 points shared between 4 players so more of a round up this week than a Top 3 or 5.

Seems a very common occurrence to top score one week and then finish rock bottom the week after, such was the fate of Harry Brook who scored 387 points last week and a mere 25 this. Despite this he moves up 2 places on the overall list past Moeen and Jaiswal into 8th.

Another big scorer last week was Queensland's newest captain Marnus Labuschagne, he sheds 181 points from his score last week and posts 31 in his single One-Day Cup outing this week.

Chamari Athapaththu finishes a hugely disappointing T20 World Cup with her best score of the tournament; 65 in a dead rubber against New Zealand.

Our week is rounded off by Usman Khawaja who is coming into form in as we move closer to the end of the year. Our bottom placed cricketer gets his first cricketer of the Week award this year and third of all time, courtesy of a top score of 76 against Western Australia. He also scores his first Strike Rate points; now only Simon Harmer has none.

Overall List

1. Chamari Athapaththu - 4010 - A hugely disappointing T20 World Cup sees her retake top spot for the fourth time this year, but with just a 40 point lead her chances of finishing the year in top spot are diminishing.

2. James Vince - 3970 - Inactive this week and with seemingly no cricket until the Abu Dhabi T10 at the end of November. He does have a cushion of 424 points on third though.

3. Travis Head - 3546 - Inactive this week but lots of cricket looms on the horizon, especially after signing on with the Adelaide Strikers in the BBL.

4. Sam Curran - 3156 - Inactive again and hard to see where his next cricket comes from before the BBL.

5. Babar Azam - 3106 - Shockingly inactive and will remain so until at least the start of November. One good performance from Marnus Labuschagne below him and he loses his Top 5 berth.

Top Three Averages

1. Chamari Athapaththu - 174.34 (Down from 179.32)
2. Babar Azam - 135.04
3. Jos Buttler - 131.5

Chamari Athapaththu's average drops the most for the second week on the trot whilst Usman Khawaja sees a rare improvement to his average; however his 66.27 points per week is still the very worst.
