Devon Conway - The Best Cricketer of the Week

 



Top 5 for the Week


1. Devon Conway - 340 - Devon Conway seizes the World Cup by the scruff of the neck and produces one of the all-time great opening fixture performances. It is his 4th Cricketer of the Week award this year.

2. Babar Azam - 260 - This score includes his 2 World Cup Warm Up Games but not the opening game against the Netherlands. Two decent knocks to get the Pakistan captain in good touch for the tournament proper.

3. Jos Buttler - 153 - Third place despite a disappointing opening fixture in the World Cup from a team perspective. Will be expected to make a decent impact on the tournament and out Lists over the coming weeks.

4. David Warner - 118 - Is the highest point scorer for someone who played just one game this week. Notably scored 50 points for his fielding alone.

=5. Moeen Ali = 107 = Largely here thanks to a decent friendly showing against Bangladesh - scored just 11 in the loss against New Zealand.

=5. Jonny Bairstow - 107 - A quickfire 34 against Bangladesh and a slightly slowerfire 33 against New Zealand see Jonny in joint fifth. He also overtakes Cummins again, relegating the Aussie to bottom spot.

Overall Top 5

1. Simon Harmer = 4432 - The first of an indeterminate number of inactive weeks for Simon Harmer. His lead on second is 111.

2. Jos Buttler - 4321 - Back up to 2nd after a week in 4th. Will be looking to make first spot his own during the World Cup.

3. Shakib Al Hasan - 4300 - Did not contribute with bat or ball in the two Warm up games and subsequently is down to 3rd spot. This is his lowest placing for 11 weeks.

4. Shubman Gill - 4184 - Inactive this week and potentially out of the opening World cup game with flu....the 540 point cushion he has on 5th should be enough for him not to worry too much on his sick bed.

5. Devon Conway - 3644 - The New Zealand opener spent a completely extraordinary 15 weeks in eighth. This week he went stratospheric against England and jumped up to 5th place. Only 30 points separate himself and Sam Curran.
