Weekly Top 3 - again not enough cricket for a Top 5
1. Peter Handscomb - 98 - By some distance the least deserving Cricketer of the Week since we started this endeavour. Is only there because Middlesex lost a game in 3 days and has 2 games to his total. 98 points is the lowest winning total since Azam's 120 from March 20
2. Simon Harmer - 78 - A rare mortal week for Harmer against Notts. He still manages to move up one place on the overall List to 8th - overtaking Pooran. He might get one or two points next week.
3. Peter Siddle - 56 - The Robin to Harmer's Batman also had a quiet match v Notts...however in this low scoring week he manages to get into 3rd spot.
Overall Top 5
1. Marnus Labuschagne - 2024 - Holds down top spot despite dire form in the County Championship. He is averaging 21.5 points per game but still holds a 114 point lead on Root.
2. Joe Root - 1910 - You get the feeling that Root is zoning in on the first place spot that he lost 7 weeks ago. His average in the County Championship is 103 points a week so it is a possibility.
3. Babar Azam - 1594 - Could have used the ZIM v PAK to force his agenda but scored just 12 points across two Test matches. He now lags second place by 316 points.
4. Ravichandran Ashwin - 1485 - Another inactive week from Ashwin however he has only dropped one place over the last two months. Has an 147 point lead on fifth spot.
5. Peter Handscomb - 1338 - Weight of games sees Handscomb regain his fifth places spot after a fortnight out of the top 5.
