Ravichandran Ashwin - The Best Cricketer of the Week

 



Weekly Update


Despite the best efforts of England to slip to a loss in two days, we have not had enough completed cricket this week for a Top 5 so another Top 3 it is:

1. Ravichandran Ashwin - 260 - Another metronomically excellent performance from Ashwin this week to claim his fifth Cricketer of the Week. Only Harmer and Labuschagne have more.

2. Peter Siddle - 130 - Two BBL games for Siddle saw him grab 4 wickets and keep him forcing his agenda at the bottom end of the Top 10. He is just 99 points off 8th placed Nicholas Pooran now.

3. Babar Azam - 126 - Test cricket has not looked too kindly on Babar this year however he finished the year with aplomb....and also that rare thing for him - a wicket.

Yearly Update

Only one of our Top 5 was in action this week; Azam's 126 puts him 286 points off Moeen in 4th and 'narrows' the gap to Marnus to 683.

That top five now reads:

1. Simon Harmer - 5201
2. Marnus Labuschagne - 4922
3. Babar Azam - 4239
4. Moeen Ali - 3953
5. Joe Root - 3614

Other performers of interest

Peter Handscomb's score of 87 didn't see him in the Top 3 for the week but still saw him overtake Dawid Malan into 10th spot.

Ones to Watch

The BBL boys have a lot to play for. peter Siidle is just 99 points away from usurping Nicholas Pooran in 8th spot whilst Glenn Maxwell is 17 points off knocking Virat Kohli into 13th.
