Top 7 cricketers of the week – November 21st to 27th

#2 Faf du Plessis (South Africa) – 118* against Australia

Faf with the perfect response

It was a tough week for the South African skipper Faf who was found guilty of ball tampering charges. Coming into the match with a lot to prove, Faf found South Africa tottering at 44 for 3 when he walked in, in the third Test at the Adelaide Oval.

But he scored a resolute century adding 110 runs for the 7th, 8th and 9th wicket partnerships before declaring the innings to have a go at Australia under the lights. Faf’s 164-ball knock had 17 fours and was masterly given the pressure he was under throughout the entire length of the innings.
