Marnus Labuschagne - The Best Cricketer of the Week

 



Weekly Top 5


1. Marnus Labuschagne - 196 - Largely here courtesy of one stonking all round feat against Essex earlier in the week. His 30 from 26 balls and 3 wickets earned him 70% of his score this week. Incidentally 50 of the remainder of his points came from Fielding.

2. Shubman Gill - 159 - Back in the points after 7 weeks away. Was 9th when he took his Post-IPL break and was 14th overall last week. This week's knocks against Zimbabwe sees him up a place to 13th.

3. Aaron Hardie - 145 - Broke a 15 week spell of inactivity off this week with a foray in the MLC. Got 2 wickets in his fist game against Los Angeles and then a knock of 34 in his final game against San Frnacisco.

4. Steve Smith - 118 - Resurrected after a period of slumber Rip Van Winkle would be proud of. Was let down by the washing out of the game against Texas which would have been enough to see him probably nick 2nd place.

5. Harry Brook - 90 - Obviously wasn't the most headline grabbing name coming out of the England Test but certainly caught the eye with a decent fifty.


Overall Top 5

1. James Vince - 2695 - Lost first place in late February but has been waiting in the shadows like a stealthy ninja for his time to strike....and this week was his time.

2. Babar Azam - 2647 - Inactive again this week and loses his spot at the pinnacle of our list.

3. Chamari Athapaththu - 2574 - Inactive once more but has a healthy cushion of nearly half a thousand points between her and fourth place.

4. Jos Buttler - 2104 - Should be looking over his shoulder whilst simultaneously looking forward to The Hundred. This three week spell in 4th is the longest time he has held any position so far this year.

5. Marnus Labuschagne - 2081 - Continues his rapid ascent up the table. Was 18th placed 5 weeks ago and now is making his first appearance in the Top 5 since his victorious year in 2021.

Other Movers

Simon Harmer forces his customary 'Summertime' agenda and moves up two spots to 8th despite 66 points this week.

1. Chamari Athapaththu - 183.86
2. Babar Azam - 155.71
