Marco Jansen - The Best Cricketer of the Week




 Weekly Update


1. Marco Jansen - 250 - Finished second last week and has claimed top spot this week. Claims threefers for fun and then rocks up and smacks a high impact score of 20+. One of the stars of the World Cup. Remains 10th overall though.

2. Shubman Gill - 151 - Back in the swing of things after his illness. Was one of three players who were within a whisker of a century against Sri Lanka but enough to see him finish second.

3. Ravindra Jadeja - 143 - Slightly a victim of India's pace bowling strength, Jadeja bowled few overs than he has been doing up to this point. Still manages to finish in third spot.

4. Shakib Al Hasan - 128 - His little jaunt back to Bangladesh must have had some effect as he finishes in the Top 5 for the first time in this World Cup. A slow and steady 43 against Pakistan was his high water mark for the week.

5. David Warner - 121 - Warner would have killed for a score of 81 before this tournament, but such is his imperious form that this seems a rather unimpressive total. His third successive Top 5 score isn't to be sniffed at though.

Overall Top 5

1. Shakib Al Hasan - 4674 - Has now completed a month at top spot. Is facing very little pressure from those below him and extended his lead on second place this week.

2. Jos Buttler - 4543 - A mere 30 points this week for a despondent Jos. I keep expecting him to bang into life...however think this may be it for him in this World Cup.

3. Shubman Gill - 4510 - Up a place this week thanks to his big score against Sri Lanka. Last held this position for one week a month ago. You feel he might be looking up and not down this time though.

4. Simon Harmer - 4432 - A fifth inactive week and down to 4th. His lowest position in 3 and a half months. Should he play South African domestic cricket he now has 625 points to make up to get back to top spot.

5. Ravindra Jadeja - 4049 - Doing just enough to keep himself comfortably insulated in fifth spot. He has spent 42% of the year in this position. To put that in perspective, Rashid Khan's 6 weeks in 5th is the second most behind Jadeja's 18.

Other Movers

Despite a score of just 81, Suryakumar Yadav managed to move up a ridiculous two places this week to leapfrog the inactive Harry Brook and Hardik Pandya into 13th.

ones To Watch

Usman Khawaja's protracted spell on the sidelines could mean that, should Jonny Bairstow get more than 16 point this week, Ussie will be the third player to take up our bottom spot.

Top 3 Averages

1. Simon Harmer - 184.67
2. Shakib Al Hasan - 155. 8 (Down from 156.76)
3. Shubman Gill - 150.33 (Up from 150.31)

Jonny Bairstow continues to yo-yo up and down the averages. He depreciates by 3.21 points this week and now has the lowest average of anyone - 84.9. Marco Jansen moves up by 5.04 points. He sores 113.82 per active week.
