Simon Harmer - The Best Cricketer of the Week

 



Only the three players from our List featured this week so not so much a Top 3 as a.....three.


1. Simon Harmer - 370 - No surprises here. 12 wickets in a match tends to help you get top spot for the week. Shockingly isn't even in his top 3 highest scores he's registered.

2. Joe Root - 129 - Back to good form as he gets to within a Cat's whisker of a century against Glamorgan.

3. Marnus Labuschagne - 40 - I have good news and bad news for Marnus. He scored his highest points total of the season against Yorkshire.....but that total was just 40. Is averaging 27.67 a match - the lowest of any of our County Championship players.

Overall Top 5

1. Marnus Labuschagne - 2064 - Marnus' poor form in the County Championship has seen his lead on second place getting narrower and narrower. Just 25 in it now.

2. Joe Root - 2029 - Crosses the two thousand point mark with his nearest challenger only recently passing th 1500 mark. A good series against New Zealand will put him out of sight.

3. Babar Azam - 1594 - An inactive week but Babar holds 3rd spot for the fifth week.

4. Simon Harmer - 1510 - Five weeks ago he was in bottom place. His rise up the table has gone 18 to 17th to 16th to 9th to 8th and now to 4th place. The highest scoring cricketer from 2018 is averaging 215.71 points a week.

5. Ravichandran Ashwin - 1485 - After 5 weeks of 0 points, Ashwin is 147 points away from losing a top 5 place he has had since February.
