Travis Head - The Best Cricketer of the Week

 


A huge point scoring week this week with the top 6 all scoring more than 200.

Weekly Top 5

1. Travis Head - 346 - His highest score of the year comes courtesy of the bowlers of Major League Cricket. This is, surprisingly , his first Cricketer of the Week accolade; becoming the 16th recipient across the year.

2. Chamari Athapaththu - 330 - Straight back into action and straight back into breaking records. This time courtesy of 119 against Malaysia in the Women's Asia Cup.

3. Glenn Maxwell - 268 - Unlike his other Washington Freedom players, The Big Show only played two Major League Cricket games this week but made massive impacts in both; a three wicket haul against Texas Super Kings and a half century off 23 balls versus the San Francisco Unicorns.

4. Harry Brook - 245 - Continued his imperious start to Test cricket with a century in the second innings of the second Test against the West Indies. Moves up a place on the overall list to 18th.

5. Rachin Ravindra - 240 - Is in the top 5, almost exclusively, for his bowling this week with 2 four-fers in Major League Cricket across his three games this week. He got 20 runs across those three games.

Overall Top 5

1. James Vince - 2959 - Kickstarted his Hundred seasons positively with a half century but is definitely looking over his shoulder.

2. Chamari Athapaththu - 2904 - Her Women's Asia Cup heroics sees her back up to second place - and with a not inconsiderable gap between her and third.

3. Babar Azam - 2647 - Azam's Top 5 aspirations were dealt a bitter blow this week with the PCB blocking his request to turn out in the Global T20 Canada tournament. 384 points separate him from 6th.

4. Travis Head - 2567 - His highest score of the year sees him up a place to fourth this week. He only needs 80 points in the Major League Cricket final would see him move up to third.

5. Marnus Labuschagne - 2384 - Despite his best bowling figures in his final T20 Blast game for Glamorgan, Marnus still moves down a spot. A spell away from cricket awaits him now.

Other Movers

Despite mediocre scores of 164 and 54 respectively, Moeen Ali and Sam Curran both moved up a place this week. Curran moves into 11th with Moeen occupying 15th.

Ones to Watch

It's a straight shoot out between Sam Curran for the Oval Invincibles and Glenn Maxwell for Washington Freedom. They both have one game and have just three points between them.

Top Three Averages

1. Chamari Athapaththu - 193.6 (Up from 183.86)
2. Babar Azam - 155.71
3. Marnus Labuschagne - 132.44 (Up from 131.41)

Steve Smith's average improves the most - up 13.67 - drawing him away from the foot of the table. Meanwhile Usman Khawaja, who was already bottom, is even worse off; down 10.77 to 56.83.
