Joe Root - The Best Cricketer of the Week

 



Weekly Top 5


1. Joe Root - 277 - An ever present in our Lists, it is the first time he has scored back-to-back Cricketers of the Week. He joins Harmer x 3, Al Hasan, Finch, Lyon, Parnell, Razzak, Stokes, Azam and Maxwell in that elite club.

2. Marnus Labuschagne - 272 - Marnus isn't resting on his laurels in the BBL. He has finished second in the last two weeks and is now the second highest T20 point scorer on our list. Not bad going for two weeks work.

3. Glenn Maxwell - 126 - A last hurrah for Maxwell as he bagged a big score in the game where Melbourne Stars got knocked out of the BBL. International duty next for The Big Show.

4. Kane Williamson - 119 - Fans of Central Districts are not used to seeing their international captain turning out for them but a big score of 79 against Auckland this week sees him finish fourth.

5. Peter Siddle - 100 - Mr Consistent for Adelaide in the BBL. Over the last three active weeks he has score 90, 100 and 100. This weeks haul is enough to see him finish fifth in his final week of Limited Overs action.

Yearly Top 5

1. Marnus Labuschagne - 916 - Being one of just two players to feature in Test and T20 cricket this year has paid off for Marnus. He has already opened up a healthy lead at the top.

2. Joe Root - 750 - Two Cricketer of the Week performances from Joe Root sees him go from 10th to 2nd. A good tour of India might see him challenge for top spot.

3. Glenn Maxwell - 570 - It was a disappointing end to the BBL for Maxwell. He is down a spot for the second week in a row.

4. Kane Williamson - 491 - A spell of Super Smash excellence sees him hold fourth spot. The slow pace of games in that competition may limit any huge leaps up the table.

5. Steve Smith - 413 - Inactive this week and down two places but is facing no immediate pressure from those below him who have all been eliminated from the BBL.

Other mover

Despite a disappointing week individually and for his team, Quintin De Kock's 37 was enough to see him tip over Jasprit Bumrah's score and into the top 10.
