Simon Harmer - The Best Cricketer of the Week

Weekly Top 3 (Not enough cricket played for a top five)

1. Simon Harmer - 257 - Despite getting slightly fewer points week on week, Harmer still manages to find himself on top spot. He has scored 61% of the points of the five players we having playing in the County Championship.

2. Dawid Malan - 56 - In an IPL where the average points scored per game was 44.65, Malan debuted with an above average showing before the cancellation of the tournament. Poor luck.

3. Steve Smith - 54 - 'Ends' the tournament with his second total of 54 for a match. Ended up averaging 39 points a game - similar to his 35.38 at the same stage of last season.
