Peter Handscomb - The Best Cricketer of the Week




Weekly Top 5


1. Peter Handscomb - 217 - This is the second time Handscomb has combined a decent(ish) Sheffield Shield game with a strong Marsh Cup fixture to top the weekly charts.

2. Babar Azam - 185 - Another classy performance for Pakistan vs South Africa has seen Babar finish second for the second week in a row.

3. Marnus Labuschagne - 172 - This time Marnus showed that he can produce the goods in the longest form as well as in 50 Over cricket. He is one of just two players to have scored 250+ points in each form of the game.

4. Quinton De Kock - 130 - Seems a while since QDK's last big score, so his farewell 80 before chipping off to IPL 2021 will be well received. He moves up two spots to 14th in the overall list.

5. Virat Kohli - 73 - Finished Game One of IPL 2021 with the most points of any of the three featured players. Early days but Kohli averaged a decent 48.67 points per game last season so we know he can produce.

Overall Top 5

1. Marnus Labuschagne - 1739 - Finishes in the top three for the week and opens up a 241 point gap in first place.

2. Joe Root - 1498 - His last inactive week of 5 and he only drops the solitary place. Not bad going for Honest Joe.

3. Ravichandran Ashwin - 1438 - Is about to embark on his IPL 2021 journey. There will be a lot of movement around him but can he hold his own?

4. Peter Handscomb - 1223 - Mr Consistent fights his wat back into the top 5 after a fortnight out of the picture. No player on our List has featured more than Handscomb.

5. Nicholas Pooran - 1069 - After holding on to fourth place for seven weeks, Pooran has one too many inactive weeks and drops down a place to fifth.
