Pat Cummins - The Best Cricketer of the Week




 Weekly Top 5


1. Pat Cummins - 291 - A very decent start to the new Australian captain's career sees him end the International Sub-Continental Summer as Cricketer of the Week for the first time.

2. Joe Root - 282 - Another stonking performance from Joe Root as he continues his ascent up the overall table. He moves up to 10th this week.

3. Ben Stokes - 279 - His 120 against the West Indies will live long in the memory - even if the match won't. Back in the weekly Top 5 for the first time since January. Has moved up two places on the overall list to 11th.

4. Babar Azam - 167 - Not as good as last week - but enough to give him another Top 5 finish. A spell away from the game looms for Azam now.

5. Quinton De Kock - 134 - Back playing ODI before his sojourn in the IPL sees him warm up with a fifth placed finish.

Overall Top 5

1. Mohammad Rizwan - 1225 - A fairly meagre 230 points across Pak Vs Aus ... however he keeps his top spot for a 5th successive week.

2. Rishabh Pant - 1133 - Inactive for the last time before the IPL starts. In the big-hitting form we saw in Ind v SL, the Delhi Capitals could be in for some show.

3. Babar Azam - 1128 - Holds down his third place spot thanks to a decent final Test in Pak Vs Aus. A spell away from cricket looms....how far will he drop?

4. Pat Cummins - 1070 - After being decent but unspectacular in the first two Tests, Cummins sprung into life in the final outing. He leaped up 5 places to get back into the Top 5.

5. Quinton De Kock - 1054 - Quinny bloody loves fifth place. After spending most of November and December last year in 5th, he has spent 5 of the last 10 weeks there.

Other Movers

Steve Smith continues to flirt with an assault on the top ten before dropping away again. Non-inclusion in the IPL will not help.

Ones to Watch

Could be a right little ding-dong at the bottom of the Top 5 as KKR's Pat Cummins only has a 16 point lead on Lucknow's Quinton De Kock. A bat vs ball battle.

Top 3 Averages

1. Simon Harmer = 217.5
2. Moeen Ali = 188.8
3. Joe Root =159.4 (Up from 128.75)

Mixed blessings for our English contingent as Root improves his average by 30.65 whilst Bairstow dips by 23.17. Root takes Bairstow's top place spot away. YJB drops to 8th!!
