This week marks the leanest full week of the year with only 980 points scored by 9 cricketers. Accordingly only a Weekly Top 3 this week.
Weekly Round-Up
1. Babar Azam - 320 - The master of the half century did not score one this week but did score 111 and 48 so I guess it averages out. His first Cricketer of the Week of the year....he got 4 last year and has the 2nd most of anyone over the 6 years we've played this game.
2. Ravindra Jadeja - 206 - Quiet with the bat this time out but made up for it with 5 wickets in the 4th Test against England. Is really easing himself into an untouchable position in terms of his bowling points.
3. Yashasvi Jaiswal - 140 - 'Just' 110 runs for Jaiswal in the 4th Test for India, but finds himself near the top of the tree once more.
Overall Top 5
1. Babar Azam - 1453 - Was already top before he won Cricketer of the Week this week. The 362 points between him and second place is the largest gap on the List. Could be hard to displace during the PSL.
2. James Vince - 1091 - Missed a game thanks to a virus that spread through the Karachi camp. His 65 points from 2 games sees him just about hold off the charge of the Indian test contingent chasing him for second place.
3. Yashasvi Jaiswal - 1085 - Retains third place for a second successive week but has narrowed the gap to just 8 points. There is also a rather chunky 248 points between him and fourth so will be looking up rather than down.
4. Ravindra Jadeja - 837 - Doing exactly what he did last year and moving up the List in fits and starts. Once he got in the Top 5 last year he was very difficult to displace. Skips his favoured fifth place and bursts straight into 4th.
5. Jos Buttler - 798 - Another week of inactivity and hands on to the Top 5 by a thread. Rachin Ravindra is just 3 points adrift and Maxwell a further 10 points away.
Other Movers
Two players scored outside the Top 3 but still moved up. Gill got the only other score of three figures and jumped from 14th to 10th whilst Travis Head's 53 was enough to move him up two places to 15th.
Ones To Watch
Rachin Ravindra is in Test action this week and has just lost his Top 5 spot. He is 3 off 5th, 42 off 4th and, slightly more ambitiously, 290 off third.
Top 3 Average Points per Active Week
1. Ravindra Jadeja - 209.25 (Down from 210.33)
2. Babar Azam - 207.57 (Up from 188.83)
3. Jos Buttler - 199.5
For the second successive week, Steve Smith's average decreases the most. A drop of 14.1 this week means he has leaked 29 points off his average over the last fortnight. Babar Azam's highest scoring week thus far sees his average improve to over 200 per week.
