Sam Curran - The Best Cricketer of the Week


 

Weekly Top 5

1. Sam Curran - 301 - Before this week, Curran's best score of the week was 176, this week he nearly doubled that courtesy of 161 runs in 2 games in the T20 Blast. Becomes the third player to win three Cricketers of the Week across more than one year alongside Head and Handscomb.

2. Travis Head - 208 - Two identical scores in two MLC games this week. He scored 54 at a SR of 150+ scoring 104 points against Los Angeles and then scored 54 at a SR of 150+ scoring 104 points against New York. Consistent.

3. Moeen Ali - 195 - Enjoying his domestic cricket once more...but has very much been helped by the fact he has played three games across the week. His high point was 59 off the bat against Derbyshire.

4. Marnus Labuschagne - 173 - Continues his love affair with the English domestic game with his fourth successive score of 100 or more. Since joining up with Glamorgan he has averaged 171.77 points a week.

5. Yashasvi Jaiswal - 165 - Was lighting up our lists on a week by week basis before his total omission from a majority of the T20 World Cup. Is now back in fine fettle most notably in his score of 93 against Zimbabwe this week.

Overall Top 5

1. James Vince - 2833 - A second week in top spot this week courtesy of his fifth 100+ scoring week since the start of the English Domestic season.

2. Babar Azam - 2647 - Only bottom placed Usman Khawaja has been inactive longer than Babar Azam, he spends another week in second after losing top spot last week.

3. Chamari Athapaththu - 2574 - Inactive again this week but will be back in action in the Women's Asia Cup this week. Will be looking up the table rather than down due to the 73 point gap to 2nd slightly more pressing than the 320 gap below her.

4. Marnus Labuschagne - 2254 - Has inflated his total by 1546 in the ten weeks since the start of the English Domestic season. Jumps up another place to 4th.

5. Travis Head - 2221 - Spent a solitary week out of 5th spot before reclaiming it again this week. He has spent 6 weeks in 5th place this year. Three further weeks and he usurps Jadeja who has spent 9 weeks there.

Other Movers

Rachin Ravindra moves up two places to 10th whilst Phil Salt nudges further back into the Top Ten again; up one to 9th.
