Rachin Ravindra - The Best Cricketer of the Week

 

Weekly Top 5

1. Rachin Ravindra - 243 - Reminded everyone of his Test acumen with his second century in 11 matches and against India no less.

2. Marnus Labuschagne - 213 - His third 200+ score in 6 weeks and plenty more Cricket in the bank for the Aussie.

3. Ravindra Jadeja - 155 - Of course Jadeja ends up in the Top 5 in a week where he plays a test match. it's just what happens.

4. Usman Khawaja - 141 - Such has been his poor year that 141 is his highest score of 2024. He has scored 372 points in the last 3 weeks, which is more then he scored between the end of January and the start of October.

5. Steve Smith - 119 - Disappointed in the Sheffield Shield (23 points; 20 points in the field) but bolstered his score with 56 runs in the One-Day Cup.

Overall Top 5

1. Chamari Athapaththu - 4010 - Will be chomping at the bit to start playing for the Sydney Thunder in the WBBL on Monday. Will she be able to dominate a franchise tournament in a way that she has failed to do previously and continue her reign at the top of the table.

2. James Vince - 3970 - Inactive for 3 successive weeks for only the second time this year. He does have a considerable amount of cricket on the horizon though. The inaugural Global Super League finishes a week before the BBL starts, so the Hampshire skipper should be available.

3. Travis Head - 3546 - Has a 390 point lead but has jeopardised his place as he will miss the upcoming white-ball series against Pakistan to spend time with his family ahead of the high-stakes five-Test series against India, starting November 22 in Perth.

4. Sam Curran - 3156 - His fifth inactive week. He will not see a fifth as the White Ball series against West Indies starts on Thursday.

5. Marnus Labuschagne - 3130 - Has breached a Top 5 that has had the same five figures in it for the last 11 weeks. He regains the 5th place spot he lost nearly 3 months ago.

Other Movers

A meagre score of 58 was the fourth lowest of the week but still sess Jaiswal move up to the 8th place that Brook dumped him out of last week.

Ones To Watch

Jaiswal has the smallest gap of anyone on the List (19 away from Harmer) and is currently in action against New Zealand.

Top Three Averages

1. Chamari Athapaththu - 174.34
2. Babar Azam - 135.04
3. Jos Buttler - 131.5

Usman Khawaja's average improves the most for the second week in a row; up 11.2 in the last fortnight. Daryl Mitchell's already meagre average depreciates the most - down to 80.47 - only Hardie, Marsh and Khawaja have worse.

Marnus Labuschagne - The Best Cricketer of the Week

 

Weekly Top 5

1. Marnus Labuschagne - 267 - Straight back after a year away and claims his twelfth Cricketer of the Year award. Could we be seeing the beginnings of a stellar year like he had in 2021?

2. Daryl Mitchell - 224 - Couldn't have asked for a better debut week on our List for a T20 player. Scores of 57 in the Super Smash for Canterbury and then 67 in national colours sees him finish with a score that would see you in top position most weeks.

3. Chamari Athapaththu - 214 - When she plays she will need to score big to stay up the top of the List and she is certainly fulfilling that brief so far. 3 games in the Women's Supers Smash this week with scores of 1, 25 and 58 plus two wickets.

=4. Babar Azam - 186 - Finishes in the Top 5 for the week but fourth does seem a little underwhelming from a Test and a T20. Without that T20 he would have finished even lower - with just 37% of his points coming from the red ball.

=4. James Vince - 186 - Two decent performances in BBL 13 puts James Vince near the top of the tree for the second week in a row. Scored a POTM 79 against Melbourne Stars before a more understated 27 against Sydney Thunder.

Overall Top 5

1. Chamari Athapaththu - 373 - Finished top last week and third this week so is good value for the overall lead. Nobody has ever finished top in the first three weeks in a row, can Chamari pull off that feat?

2. Marnus Labuschagne - 267 - Straight in at second for the Australia and Brisbane batter, with a Test match on the horizon you would suspect that his Top 5 position is well assured.

3. James Vince - 235 - Consistently OK performances in BBL 13 see him rise up the ranks to third in our overall placings. Needs to perform big in the remaining games as a period of time in the wilderness beckons.

4. Daryl Mitchell - 224 - Straight into the Top 5 for a player that is increasingly becoming Kane Williamson's heir apparent.

5. Glenn Maxwell - 213 - The only member of the overall Top 5 who did not feature in the weekly Top 5. Just 71 points this week and drops from second to fifth but the days are still early.

Ones To Watch

It is just outside the Top 10 where eyes are drawn with just 50 points between 10th place Jaiswal and 15th place Sam Curran.

Devon Conway - The Best Cricketer of the Week

 

Another rammed week of cricket.....just 5 players not to feature this week.

Weekly List

1. Devon Conway - 367 - Conway becomes the first player to win Cricketer of the Week more than once in 2023, spreading his score across three games in 2 formats this week. His 138 against India did a lot of heavy lifting in this regard.

2. Jos Buttler - 342 - A couple of comparatively quiet weeks before a Daddy score this time out. Strung together some good performances in the SA20 before an alright showing in the loss against South Africa.

3. Ravindra Jadeja - 290 - This was his first game for 6 months and he hit the ground jogging. A seven-fer for Saurashtra vs Tamil Nadu in the Ranji Trophy puts him straight into the thick of it before a return to the India set-up.

4. Hardik Pandya - 290 - An all-round strong week for the all-rounder. He scored 100+ points with both bat and ball and added 20 in the field too. Weeks like this will force his agenda.

5. Shubman Gill - 229 - Bit of a Jekyll & Hyde performance from Gill this week. Continues to be the best ODI player of the year so far.....but is looking to be on the verge of a busted flush in T20s. This averages out to see him end up just tipping into a very high scoring Top 5.

Overall

1. Shubman Gill - 972 - A second straight week in the top spot and manages to keep a sizeable gap on second place. Needs to fix up his T20 form to hold off the peleton.

2. Devon Conway - 782 - Has now occupied all the places inside the top 3; a fortnight in 1st, down to 3rd last week and now into second place. Could form a challenge this week during the ongoing T20 series.

3. Jos Buttler - 571 - A big week for Buttler sees him move from 9th to 3rd place. That gap between third and second was just too big for him to breech in one leap...but the South Africa One Dayers will give him a chance to look up rather than down.

4. Hardik Pandya - 548 - After a strong start (2nd in Week 1), Pandya slipped down to 7th last week. An all rounders performance sees him back into the Top 4 again - but there is only 112th between 8th and 3rd so there is an awful lot to play for.

5. Shakib Al Hasan - 544 - Shakib couldn't get it going this week. After scoring 349 points in 2 BPL games last week he has scored only 161 in 3 this time out. 19 points separate him and Usman Khawaja in 6th.

Other Movers

Sam Curran finished 7th in the Weekly List but his 191 sees him move up 2 spots to 10th whilst Rashid Khan and David Warner move up a spot to 9th and 13th respectively.

Ones to Watch

The smallest gap is the 4 points that stand between all-rounders Hardik Pandya and Shakib Al Hasan. Both are in T20 action this week and a few decent spells could see them move into the Top 3.

Top 3 Averages

1. Shubman Gill - 243 (Down from 247.67)
2. Shakib Al Hasan - 235 (Down from 272)
3. Devon Conway - 195.5 (Up from 138.33)

The SA20 proves the breeding ground for our two biggest movers this week. Buttler sees his average improve by a massive 75.83 points up to 190.33 whilst Marco Jansen is now down 42 points to 153 after his electric start to the tournament.
