Weekly Top 5
1. Ravichandran Ashwin - 283 - Undoubtedly the Cricket list player of the Ind v Eng series. Got over 500 points more than any other player. Also is only the third player (after Ben Stokes and Babar Azam) to win Cricketer of the Week in three consecutive weeks.
2. Glenn Maxwell - 238 - The Big Show flicked the switch and was back to being a phenomenal allrounder yet again. Showed his batting prowess in the third NZ v AUS T20 and then showed his skills with the ball in the fourth.
3. Ben Stokes - 217 - Got points more for dedication and perseverance than performance. 27.4 gut-busting overs yielded four wickets which made up over 50% of his highest weekly score of 2021.
4. Babar Azam - 152 - Gallingly high score for Azam whose PSL journey is put on hold for a little while. Was making good progress up The List after two top 5 finishes in consecutive weeks.
5. David Warner - 127 - Warner needed a big score after having found himself rock bottom of The List for the last three weeks. His Marsh Cup century sees him up one spot leaving Simon Harmer at rock bottom.
Overall Top 5
1. Joe Root - 1498 - Mixed bag of a series for Root whose scores degraded as the Tests went on - 348 in the First Test down to just 85 in the Fourth. Holds on to the top spot by a mere 60 points.
2. Ravichandran Ashwin - 1438 - Another bumper haul of points sees him comfortably overtake Labuschagne into second place - however he is still just shy of top spot.
3. Marnus Labuschagne - 1218 - An inactive week for Marnus sees him drop out of the top two spots for the first time since the third week of January.
4. Nicholas Pooran - 956 - A disappointing start to the Sri Lanka series. Was more the mild mannered Jekyll rather than his high impact Hyde in the first two contests.
5. Glenn Maxwell - 821 - Back into the top 5 after two weeks away. Such is the weight of Maxwell's scoring, that he is never too far away from bursting up a few places. This week he went the mere two from 7 to 5.
Highest Players by Format
Long Form - Joe Root - 1498
50 Over - Nicholas Pooran - 361
T20 - Glenn Maxwell - 821
This is worth deconstructing a little more. We now have 5 antipodean players who have featured in more than one format of the game.
Peter Handscomb and Marnus Labuschagne have featured in all 3 formats and both have fairly equal points between the Longest Form and the shortest. Handscomb favours T20 with 267 to 233 in that direction whilst it is reversed for Marnus who has 604 to 566.
Kane WIlliamson - who has just featured in T20 and Tests - is almost equal with 318 from the Test series against Pakistan and 335 from an amalgamation of T20 games.
Two players that show the biggest gaps are Steve Smith and David Warner. Steve Smith has scored the majority of his points in Test matches compared to Warner who has scored more in one single Marsh Cup match than he did in the two Tests he played against India.
