Weekly Top 5
1. Harry Brook - 241 - The man of the moment is the man of the week with yet another ton. Surprisingly this is only his this Cricketer of the Week from his 26 active weeks in 2024. You would imagine we will be seeing more of him going into our 2025 Lists.
2. Moeen Ali - 173 - Last played for Guyana almost 2 months ago and then clocks back in for the same unit in the Global T20 League. 4 games in a week will always give you a bit of a boost. Moeen is the ultimate yo-yo-er and is back up to 11th on the Overall List.
3. Daryl Mitchell - 123 - Making hay in the antipodean sun whilst he has been scrabbling around in the dirt for most of the year. This is his second successive active week in the Top 5.
4. James Vince - 116 - Finishes his jolly up in Abu Dhabi having scored 484 in three weeks. Now onto the BBL; starting next weekend.
5. Shubman Gill - 80 - Hard to read much from this. Retired 50* in a two day Test warm-up game that was reduced to one day and was played the week after the First Test was over. Still enough for him to move up to 15th Overall.
Overall Top 5
1. Chamari Athapaththu - 4681 - I could be wrong (it has been known) but I think that this might be Athapaththu's final total. I cannot see anymore cricket on the horizon for her in 2024. It doesn't feel enough for our first female cricketer to finish first.
2. James Vince - 4454 - Vince will finish second of first this year. 768 points sperate him to third and he has 4 BBL games between now and New Years Eve to overthrow the 227 point gap on first. He averages 80.25 per T20 game.
3. Travis Head - 3686 - Another week's rest (if that's the right word for a father of a month old baby. Back in action next week.
4. Phil Salt - 3569 - Did not end the Abu Dhabi T10 competition with the pyrotechnics we saw throughout the rest of the tournament but keeps his fourth place spot.
5. Sam Curran - 3460 - Inactive again...you feel he may finish 2024 outside the Top 5. Jaiswal is 233 points away from him, Labuschagne 253, Jadeja 348 and Brook 360.
Other Mover
45 points in the 'warm-up' game against an Australian Prime Minister's XI was enough to see him overtake Labuschagne into 8th.
Top Three Averages
1. Chamari Athapaththu - 167.18
2. Jos Buttler - 140.05 (Down from 143.26)
3. Ravindra Jadeja - 129.67 (Down from 132.39)
Seems cruel, if not also very funny, that Kohli not batting or fielding gets him 0 points in a warm up game and sees his average drop by a smidge over 4 points to 93.92. Harry Brook's goes up the most, +4.87 to 119.23.
