James Vince - The Best Cricketer of the Week




After last week's record breaking points tally of 2061 points; this week we have the third lowest at 870. Interestingly the average points per active player was the highest so far this year standing at a huge 217.5.


Here's a round up of all the action:

The lowest score of the week came from the best performer in the T20 World Cup final. His 70 against south Africa in the final saw him lift the trophy but finish with the wooden spoon this week.

Next up was Simon Harmer who has registered his fifth straight week of three figure scores when he is playing red ball cricket. Worryingly he now turns back to the white ball he only averages 21.33 per week. He moves up two places and cracks into the Top Ten overall.

Marnus Labuschagne continues his fine spell of form for Glamorgan with another huge score. He has now scored 545 points over the least fortnight and moved from 14th to 7th.

After having a mediocre year with of cricket, Vince has had a phenomenal fortnight culminating in a double tonne against Kent. He has now scored 701 points over the last fortnight. If he can continue this in White Ball Cricket we might be cooking something here.

Overall Top 5

1. Babar Azam - 2647 - Another inactive week for Babar Azam and his lead is now down to a mere 14 points. You feel like his 20 week spell in top spot may come to an end soon.

2. James Vince - 2633 - His 701 points over the last two weeks saw him jump up a place each week to land in his highest position for 13 weeks.

3. Chamari Athapaththtu - 2574 - Inactive again this week and drops down to third place. Should play a key part of The Women's Hundred but that is still two weeks away.

4. Jos Buttler - Holds 4th place for a second week but mainly down to zero pressure from below.

5. Travis Head - 2002 - Another week in fifth place, however is one of FOUR players on our List to be turning out for the Washington Freedom in the Major League Cricket tournament that starts tonight.

Top Three Averages

1. Chamari Athapaththu - 183.86
2. Babar Azam - 155.71
3. Jos Buttler - 131.5

James Vince's average swells the most; up 10.63 to 119. 68. Nobody moves down at all this week.
