Harry Brook - The Cricketer of the Week

 

Over half the players on the List changed position this week. Let's see who's ascending and whose....not.

Weekly Update

1. Harry Brook - 306 - Scoring 186 will usually see you well for Cricketer of the Week...who knows where he might have landed if it were not for Root's brain fade. He becomes the 59th player to win the Cricketer of the Week.

2. Rashid Khan - 219 - 3 decent games for Rashid in PSL 08 sees him back in the top 5 again. He eats these T20 competitions up but has 5 wickets across his 3 games this week so is well worth his berth.

3. Moeen Ali - 216 - In a complete reversal to last year, Moeen is raking in the points in ODI matches and is struggling a bit in T20s. His allround prowess against Bangladesh sees him right in the middle of a very tightly packed Top 5.

4. Jos Buttler - 215 - Disappointed in the first Bangladesh ODI but was back to his explosive best in the second to return to action with another Top 5 appearance.

5. Marco Jansen - 179 - Returns to his beloved Test cricket with a dominating performance with the ball against West Indies. He just nicked in to the Top 5 at the expense of Sam Curran, 3 points behind him.

Overall

1. Jos Buttler - 1354 - Buttler takes top spot after a month of being bridesmaid. Has an ODI and a T20 next week to extend his 119 point lead at the top.

2. Shubman Gill - 1235 - Was inactive for three weeks and then loses first place on the week where he returns to action. Down a place to second after 6 weeks in the top spot.

3. Shakib Al Hasan - 1171 - Breaks his spell of playing just T20s to have a go at a bit of ODI cricket. Is quietly grafting his way into a good position - there is just 64 points between him and second place now and plenty more white ball cricket on the horizon.

4. Ravindra Jadeja - 1117 - By his recent standards, 4 wickets in the IND vs AUS Test represents a bit of a lull - it is the first time he has played in 2023 and not finished in the Top 3 for the week. He manages to keep hold of his 4th place spot gained last week.

5. Devon Conway - 982 - Perennially doing just enough to hold on to 5th place through posting OKish scores and those below him not mounting a consistent challenge. Marco Jansen is 50 points below him with another Test against the West Indies to play, however.

Top 3 Averages

1. Ravindra Jadeja - 279.25 (Down from 315.33)
2. Jos Buttler - 225.67 (Down from 227.8)
3. Shubman Gill - 205.83 (Down from 235.8)

For the second week in a row Harry Brook moves up a place - he has doubled his average over the last fortnight and is now on 160.4. Jadeja's slightly less than God-like performance sees him dip by 36.08 points but still sees him with over 50 more points per week than anyone else.
