Player Of The Week

Alastair Cook enjoyed a prolific week with the bat to notch up 319 runs at an average of over 100 and a strike rate of 88.37 to pip Steven Finn to this week's award. Cooks transformation from Test match plodder to become the first England player since Paul Collingwood five years ago to score back-to-back ODI centuries can be traced as far back as to 2008 when he played only one ODI during the English summer and vowed to improve his limited-overs game.

Last 2 Winners

Martin Guptill is the outstanding candidate for this week's Cricket World Player of the Week award. The 25-year-old hit three consecutive half-centuries in as many matches against Zimbabwe to make himself a shoo-in for the award.
There have been several notable performances over the past seven days in international cricket, meaning that, once again, it is a difficult decision to choose this week's Cricket World Player of the Week. It is from events in Dubai that this week's award winner again comes. Both Younis Khan and Azhar Ali hit centuries in Pakistan's second innings total of 365, with Azhar taking the honours - partly thanks to the nature of Younis' dismissal in the first innings.
