Glenn Maxwell - The Best Cricketer of the Week

 

Weekly Update

1. Glenn Maxwell - 407 - The winner of Cricketer of the Year 2019 has had some good weeks but this score is his highest weekly score in his 4 years on this List. It is also the 12th highest score ever.

2. Pat Cummins - 265 - A pretty much flawless first Test series for the new Australia captain sees him finish the Ashes with a second place berth.

3. Simon Harmer - 234 - Back in action sooner than we normally see him....and also back in the wickets. 7 in Titans match vs the North West. His first Top 5 of many this year, you would think.

4. Quinton De Kock - 195 - Unfazed by lack of match practice, controversy or fatherhood, QDK was back to his best in his first outing of 2022,

5. Travis Head - 164 - If you would have predicted Travis Head as your Ashes Man of the Series you would have been recommended a concussion Test. Only the fifth Test registered for points but still sees him finish in the week's Top Five.

Overall Update

1. Glenn Maxwell - 541 - At this early stage one good week can see you move up the table...so Maxwell's exemplary week was enough to see him move from 7th to top spot. He is 100 points clear on second.

2. Pat Cummins - 439 - Solid performances in the last two Ashes Tests sees Cummins move up 4 places to second spot.

3. Rishabh Pant - 395 - Pant has been one of the stand out performers for India in their disappointing tour of South Africa; he still manages to drop a place to third though.

4. Kyle Jamieson - 300 - Jamieson led for Weeks 1 and 2 but was inactive this week and dropped down three spots.

5. Simon Harmer - 334 - It took 21 weeks for Harmer to get in the top 5 last year, here he is in fifth spot after just the third week.

Other significant movers

Marnus Labuschagne finished in 7th place for the week but was still able to move up four spots to tail Harmer by 25 spots in 6th place.
