Marnus Labuschagne - The Best Cricketer of the Week

 


Weekly Top 5

1. Marnus Labuschagne - 267 - Straight back after a year away and claims his twelfth Cricketer of the Year award. Could we be seeing the beginnings of a stellar year like he had in 2021?

2. Daryl Mitchell - 224 - Couldn't have asked for a better debut week on our List for a T20 player. Scores of 57 in the Super Smash for Canterbury and then 67 in national colours sees him finish with a score that would see you in top position most weeks.

3. Chamari Athapaththu - 214 - When she plays she will need to score big to stay up the top of the List and she is certainly fulfilling that brief so far. 3 games in the Women's Supers Smash this week with scores of 1, 25 and 58 plus two wickets.

=4. Babar Azam - 186 - Finishes in the Top 5 for the week but fourth does seem a little underwhelming from a Test and a T20. Without that T20 he would have finished even lower - with just 37% of his points coming from the red ball.

=4. James Vince - 186 - Two decent performances in BBL 13 puts James Vince near the top of the tree for the second week in a row. Scored a POTM 79 against Melbourne Stars before a more understated 27 against Sydney Thunder.

Overall Top 5

1. Chamari Athapaththu - 373 - Finished top last week and third this week so is good value for the overall lead. Nobody has ever finished top in the first three weeks in a row, can Chamari pull off that feat?

2. Marnus Labuschagne - 267 - Straight in at second for the Australia and Brisbane batter, with a Test match on the horizon you would suspect that his Top 5 position is well assured.

3. James Vince - 235 - Consistently OK performances in BBL 13 see him rise up the ranks to third in our overall placings. Needs to perform big in the remaining games as a period of time in the wilderness beckons.

4. Daryl Mitchell - 224 - Straight into the Top 5 for a player that is increasingly becoming Kane Williamson's heir apparent.

5. Glenn Maxwell - 213 - The only member of the overall Top 5 who did not feature in the weekly Top 5. Just 71 points this week and drops from second to fifth but the days are still early.

Ones To Watch

It is just outside the Top 10 where eyes are drawn with just 50 points between 10th place Jaiswal and 15th place Sam Curran.
