Glenn Maxwell - The Best Cricketer of the Week

 

Weekly Top Five

1. Glenn Maxwell - 284 - Last year The Big Show won Cricketer of the Week 5 times....this is his first but well justified after a big hitting week for Australia. 70 of his points came from SR.

2. Virat Kohli - 258 - A quiet year for Kohli who still finds himself outside of the top ten for the year despite this week's big haul. It is, by some distance, his highest weekly total of 2020 and takes his weekly average up to above 100 again.

3. Aaron Finch - 250 - Despite finishing third for the week, Finch has been one of the biggest beneficiaries on this Week's List. He has moved up three places overall and improves his weekly average by 7.12 points to 114.75.

4. Steve Smith - 213 - His T20 form stops him from finishing any higher up the list after his table topping performance last week but it has been a very good start to the Summer for Smudger.

5. Marnus Labuschagne - 127 - A disappointing debut as an opener aside, it has been a pretty good week for Marnus. His 70 at the start of the week was the highlight.

Movers

The only other mover on The List this week was Martin Guptill whose 54 was enough to see him overtake Shubmann Gill and Travis Head and move into 14th

Yearly Top Five

1. Babar Azam - 3082 - Despite his week being spent in quarantine, he still manages to hold onto top spot. The lead is now down to 127.

2. Ben Stokes - 2955 - Another below par week for Stokes as his average for active weeks continues to drop. He is still zeroing in on top spot.

3. Joe Root - 2512 - An inactive week does not bother Root. He is in a little world of his own; 217 points above fourth and 443 points away from second. Third is his destiny.

4. Aaron Finch - 2295 - The last time Finch popped his head into the top five was at the start of March. Fourth is his highest placing of the year. A good Australian Summer and he could keep his place there.

5. David Warner - 2290 - Injury may put this position in danger going forward. He is 42 points off Lewis Gregory and 69 off Jason Holder.
