James Vince - The Best Cricketer of the Week




 Many of you will be surprised to hear that this week's total of 2061 points is the highest points tally of any week in 2024. Let's see who the Top 5 are in a week where you needed more than 200 points to get into fifth place.


Weekly Top 5

1. James Vince - 358 - Has underwhelmed in the English Domestic game this season and has been a huge flop in the T20 Blast. Surprisingly the return to Red Ball Cricket is where he hits his straps again with his highest total to date and his first Cricketer of the Week award.

2. Marnus Labuschagne - 307 - Had his best week in Glamorgan whites and his best point scoring week of 2024. Should feel fairly hard done by to finish second this week. 307 would have got your top spot in all but 7 weeks of this year. Moves up 5 places to 9th.

3. Simon Harmer - 279 - Looked like his old self again this week courtesy of 8 wickets against Durham - moves up 3 places to 12th.

4. Jos Buttler - 279 - Jos Buttler's men never really got going in the T20 World Cup but it was enough to score some decent points personally; bagging 727 across the tournament.

5. Chamari Athapaththu - 245 - Continues her reign of terror over the West Indies this summer. Her highlight of the week was a fourfer in the first T20I.

Overall Top 5

1. Babar Azam - 2647 - Inactive this week and a lead of just 71 points. Is his 19 week reign at the top of the List almost up?

2. Chamari Athapaththu - 2574 - Has edged closer to top spot but will not feature in any cricket until the end of next month where she will prepare her warm up for the Women's T20 World Cup.

3. James Vince - 2290 - His huge score this week is enough to see him move into third place; his highest position for 7 weeks.

4. Jos Buttler - 2104 - Has only graced the Overall Top 5 for one week since the start of March. Despite the criticism for his captaincy, his 727 points over the T20 World Cup sees him skip 5th and burst straight into 4th.

5. Travis Head - 2002 - Despite a maelstrom of movement around him he manages to hold fifth place with his score of 126 for the week.

Other Movers

Glenn Maxwell scored 159 points this week which sees him move into joint 15th place; tied with Daryll Mitchell

Top Three Averages

1. Chamari Athapaththu - 183.86 (Up from 179.15)
2. Babar Azam - 155.71
3. Jos Buttler - 131.5 (Up from 123.4)

Marnus Labuschagne moves up by a huge 14.56 courtesy of his highest score in 2024. Meanwhile, Jadeja's descent down the average table continues. He started the World CUp in the Top 3 places...he now has only a smidge over 100 points a week.
