The Cricket List Top Ten of 2020

 1. Babar Azam

Score: 3082
Cricketer of the Weeks – 5
Average score per active week – 140.09 (6th)
Highest Score – 329: A phenomenal score of run-making for Central Punjab in National T20 Cup


Fought Stokes tooth and nail for the last third of the season but finishes on top.

2. Ben Stokes
Score: 2955
Cricketer of the Weeks – 5
Average score per active week – 164.17 (4th)
Highest Score – 464: The highest score of anyone this year came in the second Test against the West Indies.


Was in prime form during that belated form. Second seems harsh.

3. Jason Holder
Score: 2596
Cricketer of the Weeks – 2
Average score per active week – 129.8 (7th)
Highest Score – 271: The CPL, so soon after the tour of England, helped boost the West Indian's total.


A late bloomer but has rocketed up the List in the last 1/3 of the year

4. Joe Root
Score: 2280
Cricketer of the Weeks – 3
Average score per active week – 147.76 (5th)
Highest Score – 364: Electric form in the yellow of Yorkshire saw him get his highest score in the T20 Blast.


4th represents the highest year end total for Root in The Cricket List

5. Aaron Finch
Score: 2491
Cricketer of the Weeks – 0
Average score per active week – 103.79 (16th)
Highest Score – 250: The same week as Maxwell

Finch has played more cricket this week than anyone else on The List - this has helped his placing.

6. Glenn Maxwell
Score: 2469
Cricketer of the Weeks – 3
Average score per active week – 117.57 (11th)
Highest Score – 284: Just earlier this month in the ODI series with India.


Last year's champion finishes just outside the Top 5. A great late year burst of ODI and BBL form.

7. Lewis Gregory
Score: 2398
Cricketer of the Weeks – 2
Average score per active week – 126.21 (8th)
Highest Score – 328: Thanks to a Bob Willis Trophy performance for Somerset


Another player that has played a lot this year. His average per week has improved in the last 1/3

8. David Warner
Score: 2290
Cricketer of the Weeks – 2
Average score per active week – 114.5 (12th)
Highest Score – 214: Double half centuries in back to back T20Is vs South Africa.


Injury and inactive weeks held Warner back from a higher berth. Was 5th just 4 weeks ago.

9. Steve Smith
Score: 2239
Cricketer of the Weeks – 2
Average score per active week – 97.35 (18th)
Highest Score – 316: A whirlwind week in Jan that started in India & ended with 2 BBL performances


A below par year for Smith. Bolstered by the second most active weeks of anybody

10. Marnus Labuschagne
Score: 2143
Cricketer of the Weeks – 1
Average score per active week – 126.06 (9th)
Highest Score – 404: The third highest score of the year courtesy of 215 against New Zealand.
