Joe Root - The Best Cricketer of the Week

 



Weekly Top 5


1. Joe Root - 369 - A daddy score from the new Daddy as his score of 238 in the first innings against Sri Lanka sees him finish top of the weekly table for the seventh time ever.

2. Marnus Labuschagne - 360- A week that started with the Queenslander being the stand out Aussie performer in a very memorable match against India and ended with two strong BBL performances. His second week in the top two of the list.

3. Steve Smith - 151 - Another workmanlike performance from the Aussie. His 151 points is some way off the top two players however. Third place will be some consolation on the week he found out Rajasthan have dropped him.

4. Peter Handscomb - 101 - Handscomb really has started this year strongly. He is regularly putting on decent scores at very good strike rates. It bodes well for the wicket-keeper who still harbours aspirations of a national recall.

5. Glenn Maxwell - 91 - Maxwell has had a bad week. Dropped by Punjab and three fairly underpar performances in the BBL...however the key word there is three. Weight of games sees him pick up enough to finish in the top 5.

All Time Top 5

1. Marnus Labuschagne - 644 - Multi-discipline excellence sees Marnus claim top spot for the first time. He is one of just two players to have featured in both long form and T20 cricket this year.

2. Glenn Maxwell - 444 - A poor week in the BBL sees Maxwell lose his top spot in what has been an overall disappointing week for the Melbourne captain.

3. Steve Smith - 413 - He would have been disappointed with the outcome of Aus v Ind but he has found his touch again after a poor back end of 2019. He moves up one spot since last week.

4. Kane Williamson - 372 - Back in action for Central Districts this week but 54 points could not hold off a surge of players behind him. He is down 2 from last week.

5. Joe Root - 463 - This week's Cricketer of the Week jumps a huge 5 places and into the top 5 thanks to that huge score against Sri Lanka.

Other mover

Up three places, Peter Siddle is a significant mover this week after his return from injury. He is now in 8th place thanks to a 3fer against Brisbane.
