Usman Khawaja - The Best Cricketer of the Week

 



In stark contrast to last week, almost all of our available players were in action this week – but some posted some tiddly totals with others going big.


Weekly Update

1. Usman Khawaja - 230 - Always has these big scores in him - and this week's was a doozy. has really put to bed the gripes about his form on the sub-continent. Joins Jadeja, Buttler and Conway as two time Cricketers of the Week for 2023. Up to 7th place Overall

2. Ravindra Jadeja - 223 - Surprisingly Jadeja was more effective in his ODI showing than he was in the final test against Australia. yet another 200+ score for the all-rounder and he continues his vice like grip on Top 5 places.

3. Simon Harmer - 200 - Back playing red ball cricket and back in the reckoning. A nice round score of 200 as South Africa put the West Indies to the sword in their final Test this week. A sign of things to come. Up a place to 16th on the Overall List.

4. Shubman Gill - 198 - Seems quite a low score for a man who scored a century and played an ODI this week but such was the form of others that he only just manages to creep into the Top 5.

5. Cam Green - 196 - If points were awarded for style, Cam Green might have won Cricketer of the Week....but they aren't....so he didn't.



Overall List

1. Jos Buttler - 1601 - A modest score this week. If those below him had done well this week he could have lost his top place berth but he lives to fight another day.

2. Shakib Al Hasan - 1565 - Was averaging 186.25 a week before this week. That would have seen him move into top spot - however he managed a mere 74 in two T20s and keeps 2nd place for a second week.

3. Shubman Gill - 1433 - Back in the points and in the Top 5 scorers for the week but manages to make no headway on the Overall Top 5. Has an ODI series to put that right.

4. Ravindra Jadeja - 1340 - Back up a place from last week. Showed great promise in the first ODI so could mount a challenge on the Top 3 next week.

5. Rashid Khan - 1284 - A quiet week for Rashid with very few wickets to crow of in his 3 games. Drops down a spot to 5th.

Top 3 Averages

1. Ravindra Jadeja – 268 (Down from 279.25)
2. Jos Buttler – 204.71 (Down from 219.57)
3. Shubman Gill – 200.13 (Down from 205.83)

Simon Harmer’s average moves up the most this week…however at 60.4 it is still the lowest of anybody except Warner. Jos Buttler’s average drops by 19.44 point but he retains second place overall.
