Peter Handscomb - The Best Cricketer of the Week

 

Top 5 for the Week

1. Peter Handscomb - 312 - A prolific multi-discipline week for the Victorian captain. His debut season on the Lit last year was severely Covid effected; this marks his inaugural Cricketer of the Week award.

2. Marnus Labuschagne - 171 - After a poor week and an inactive week, Marnus was back to scoring big runs this week across both the Sheffield Shield and the Marsh Cup.

3. Peter Siddle - 164 - Siddle was the longest inactive player at 5 weeks without a game before this week's return to domestic action. He had dropped from 7th to 14th in that time however is back in good nick and places just outside the top ten overall.

4. David Warner - 133 - 5th placed last week. 4th placed this. Warner's return to domestic Cricket has seen him move up from 18th to 14th over the last fortnight.

5. Nicholas Pooran - 98 - Another modest week for the big-hitting West Indian - however just creeps into the top 5 again. Keeps on scoring points despite playing fourth fiddle in games.

Overall Top 5

1. Joe Root - 1498 - An inactive week from Root - however it is starting to tighten up with all of the top 3 within 100 points of each other.

2. Ravichandran Ashwin - 1438 - A well earned break and Ashwin holds onto the silver medal by the skin of his teeth. He is just 49 points off third place.

3. Marnus Labuschagne - 1389 - His success for Queensland this week wasn't quite enough for the Aussie to reclaim second spot this week.

4. Nicholas Pooran -1044 - Pooran retains fourth spot for the fourth week of a row. Quietly accumulating points. He becomes the fourth man to cross the 1000 point mark.

5. Peter Handscomb - 863 - This week's Cricketer of the Week leaps up the table. He started the week in ninth place and now knocks Glenn Maxwell out of the top 5. 5th spot seems to be a one week accolade. Maxwell then Smith then Williamson over the last month.
