Andrew Strauss pipped his team-mate Stuart Broad to this week's Cricket World Player of the Week award, as he responded to his media critics and ended his long wait for a Test century with the 20th of his career at Lord's.
The only three-figure score this week was from Matthew Wade, who hit his maiden Test century in Australia's first innings in Dominica. He came to the crease with the visitors on 157 for five having just lost their captain Michael Clarke, and proceeded to score 106 off 146 balls to take Australia to 328 - a total which proved to be enough on a typically turgid West Indies pitch.
The final four days of West Indies' second Test against Australia was the only international action that took place over the past week and it is from that match where this week's Cricket World Player of the Week must come.
