Harry Brook - The Best Cricketer of the Week

 



Weekly Top 5

1. Harry Brook - 249 - Has been a fine year for Brook, punctuated by long spells away from the game. It is perhaps surprising that this is his first Cricketer of the Week award of 2024. Fair to say he passed his test as captaincy material though.

2. Travis Head - 225 - Finished his fine tour of Scotland and England with....rather obscurely...a huge performance with the ball. 120 of his 225 points came from bowling this week as he continues to show his white ball cajónes.

3. Yashasvi Jaiswal - 223 - Hasn't really turned it on when it matters most this year but gave us a reminder of his true form with two half centuries in the second Test against Bangladesh. Moves up 2 places overall to 7th.

4. Ravindra Jadeja - 188 - Rather less destructive than in the first Test, but a threefer for Jadeja sees him in the Top 5.

5. Chamari Athapaththu - 158 - Two warm up games that yielded 2 points was followed by an opening game loss to Pakistan that got her 156. A very very big few weeks for the Sri Lankan.

Overall Top 5

A third static week in the Top 5 which still stands at:

1 James Vince 3970
2 Chamari Athapaththu 3911
3 Travis Head 3476
4 Sam Curran 3156
5 Babar Azam 3061

With both Athapaththu and Azam featuring next week it could be all change across the board for our next update.

Other Movers

Two others of our competitors scored modestly but still moved up overall. Marsh scored 58 in his one foray this week and moved up to 19th whilst maxwell's 102 was enough to see him up to 14th.

Top Three Averages

1. Chamari Athapaththu - 186.24 (Down from 187.65)
2. Babar Azam - 139.14 (Down from 145.52)
3. Jos Buttler - 131.5

Marnus Labuschagne's limp end to the ODI series against Scotland and England ees him leak 5.17 points and lose his place in the Top 3 highest averages. Harry Brook improves his average by 6.89 - up to 111.29.
