Simon Harmer - The Best Cricketer of the Week




Weekly Top 5

1. Simon Harmer - 215 - By no means his format of choice but Harmer has scored the second most points of anyone on the list in the T20 Blast. This is his fifth Cricketer of the Week of the year.

2. Ravichandran Ashwin - 179 - After registering 0 points in the last nine weeks, Ashwin is back into action with a second place finish....just not a mace to go with it.

3. Ben Stokes - 170 - Back into action after a long lay off. Had a sparkling first game versus Warwickshire but has failed to kick on since then. Does move up 2 places to 11th.

4. Quinton De Kock - 166 - QDK has used this series against the West Indies to force his way up the table. Another Top 5 finish means he moves up from 17th place at the start of the series to 12th now.

5. Joe Root - 145 - Up until this week has played nothing but Long Form cricket in 2021. Starts his T20 leg well with a fifth place finish.

Other Mover

All round Mr Nice Guy, Kane Williamson finishes outside the Top 5 but manages to move up a place on the overall List. Is now in 15th place.

Overall Top 5

1. Marnus Labuschagne - 3014 - Fewer fixtures for Glamorgan this week but he still has a huge lead and breaks the 3K barrier.

2. Joe Root - 2411 - Makes something of a dent on the gulf to top spot...however needs to be looking over his shoulder.

3. Simon Harmer - 2350 - A top score for the week sees him within 61 points of moving into second place.

4. Babar Azam - 2090 - Has been in 4th spot for 5 weeks but has never looked likely to challenge anyone above him. Now goes turn to Test Cricket - by far his lowest scoring form of the game this year.

5. Ravichandran Ashwin - 1664 - Straight back into the Top 5 with his first points in 9 weeks. He is a force to be reckoned with over the Summer.

Highest Players by Format


Long Form - Joe Root - 2266
50 Over - Nicholas Pooran - 431

2. Ravichandran Ashwin - 184.89 (Down from 185.63)
3. Moeen Ali - 168.56
