Liam Dawson - The Best Cricketer of the Week




 Weekly Round Up


What a weird week.

After 7 weeks of scores in the thousands, a geopolitical crisis means a week where only two players featured and a mere 187 points are scored.

The largest beneficiary of this is England's Liam Dawson who gets the joint second lowest weekly high score in our history. His 119 is matched only by Usman Khawaja's score in October 2024 and one better than Azam's 55 in March of the same year. He also moves up to 7th Overall.

Also there is Chamari Athapaththu whose score of 71 sees him move up to fourth place in the Overall List - her highest place in 5 weeks. Over the last 3 weeks nobody has scored more points than her as she has moved from 11th to 4th.

Ones to Watch

Liam Dawson's free week puts him a solitary point behind Heinrich Klaasen as the IPL grinds back into action.
