Marnus Labuschagne - The Best Cricketer of the Week

 




Weekly Update

As the IPL ground down and the T20 World Cup gears up, there was not enough active cricketers for a Top 5 this week - so a top 3 it is....

1. Marnus Labuschagne - 148 - After ten weeks out the game, it did not take long for Marnus to top the table for the week sixth time this year. It is worth noting that this is the seventh lowest score for the Number One player for a week since records began.

2. Peter Siddle - 140 - A long spell away has ended for Siddle. He scored just 30 points in the Sheffield Shield game against Queensland but got a three-fer in the Marsh Cup to boost his score.

3. Moeen Ali - 113 - Moeen is now the second highest T20 point scorer on our List and can thank his sparkling IPL 2021 performance....now onwards to the World Cup.

Overall List

The fifth successive week of an unchanged Overall Top 5, in fact only Marnus was the only active player in the Top 5. He narrows the gap between himself and Harmer down to 411.

Simon Harmer 4392
Marnus Labuschagne 3981
Joe Root 3614
Babar Azam 3405
Quinton De Kock 3055

Ones to Watch

The narrowest gap on the List is the 25 points between 9th placed Malan and 10th placed Kohli - both of whom are likely to be key contributors for their respective sides in the T20 World Cup.
