Weekly Top 3 (Not enough for a Top 5)
1. Ben Stokes - 260 - By some distance, Stokes best week of the year. It is, however, the third lowest total for a Cricketer of the Week in 2021.
2. Virat Kohli - 202 - Gave top spot a run for his money but fell just short. Perhaps that slow Strike Rate cost him the points to claim back to back Cricketer of the Weeks. Has moved from 16th to 7th in the last fortnight.
3. Peter Siddle - 173 - Siddle back to his more favoured form of the game sees him back in the wickets and back near the top of the points table for the week. He also moves up two spots on the overall list to 12th.
Overall Top 5
1. Joe Root - 1498 - Such was the strength of Root's early year performance that 3 inactive weeks still sees him comfortably in top spot.
2. Ravichandran Ashwin - 1438 - There is a clamour for Ashwin to be playing White Ball cricket ....as it stands he is doing rather well without it. Still 2nd despite three inactive weeks.
3. Marnus Labuschagne - 1389 - Was inactive this week but faced no pressure behind him so still has his 320 point lead on fourth spot.
4. Nicholas Pooran - 1069 - Up until this week Pooran was the most active Cricketer on our List with 9 weeks out of 12. His first week off has not cost him a place.
5. Ben Stokes - 982 - Stokes makes his 2021 Top 5 debut. After finishing second last year despite leading the way for the majority of the year, can he go one better this time out?
Other Mover
Moeen Ali (From 16th to 15th) An effective, if not eye-catching performance form Moeen Ali sees him overtake Quinton De Kock into 15th.
