Marnus Labuschagne - The Best Cricketer of the Week




Weekly Top 5

1. Marnus Labusachagne - 403 - Ridiculous consistency from Marnus in the T20 Blast sees him score 403 points for the second week in a row. Is averaging 118.2 points a game.

2. Babar Azam - 268 - Always does very well in his home T20 tournament and had 2 100+ point games out of four this week. Has taken over from Glenn Maxwell as the highest T20 point scorer for the year this week.

3. Quinton De Kock - 201 - Time to wheel out the old 'liberated from the captaincy' line. Whatever way you look at it, this is his highest weekly score of 2021. Moves up three places to 14th.

4. Moeen Ali - 59 - A quieter week than the week before but enough for Moeen to sneak into the top 5. He also moves up two places to sixth spot on the Overall List.

5. Joe Root - 55 - Another poor performance from the England captain but manages to pip Simon Harmer into fifth spot for the week this week.

Overall Top 5

1. Marnus Labuschagne - 2921 - We are a long way for being done with this year but Marnus has opened up a 655 point gap at the top of the table. There are shadows of Maxwell's dominance from 2018 to his performances this year.

2. Joe Root - 2266 - He's not covered himself with glory in the England v New Zealand series but holds his second place spot whilst allowing first to rapidly disappear over the horizon.

3. Simon Harmer - 2135 - T20 is not Harmer's strongest suit but he has a comfortable enough cushion off fourth spot....for now.

4. Babar Azam - 1997 - Such was the gap between the top 3 and the rest of the pack that Azam's recent burst only marginally narrows the gap. He spends his fourth week in fourth.

5. Peter Siddle - 1577 - Manages to hold onto his fifth place spot by the very skin of his teeth. Short of a miracle he will exit the Top 5 next week.
