Moeen Ali - The Best Cricketer of the Week

 

Weekly Top 5

1. Moeen Ali - 217 - Moeen picked up the first The Hundred points of any player on our List and it was these that edged him into top spot for the week. Praise be to the Birmingham Phoenix.

2. Marnus Labuschagne - 178 - Picked up his last points for Glamorgan for the Summer and did some in some style. His 178 v was the second highest T20 Blast total....second to his own top score of 183 vs Gloucestershire. Has been a great campaign.

3. Simon Harmer - 173 - Combined a poor score in the T20 Blast with a decent scored in the RLODC to land yet another top 5 spot for the week. It has been five straight weeks in the top 5 for Harms.

4. Quinton De Kock - 167 - Rested for the start of the Ireland v South Africa series but came back roaring. His 9 ball 20 was something of a highlight.

5. Nicholas Pooran -101- Has looked underwhelming since a good start to the year. Has managed to just squeak into the Top 5 with a three figure score form a T20 and an ODI.

Overall Top 5

1. Marnus Labuschagne - 3833 - The Marnus Reign of Terror continues. This is his 17th straight week in the top spot. He does have a period of inactivity coming up but his lead of 968 is intimidating.

2. Simon Harmer - 2865 - Holds off third place and has a second week in silver position. Will hope that a good RLODC campaign will see him through to the resumption of the T20 Blast.

3. Joe Root - 2710 - Had his best T20 Blast game of the season last week but does not do enough to reclaim second place this week.

4. Babar Azam - 2565 - Babar scored 51% of all points scored in the Eng v Pak series, however it was not enough to budge from 4th spot. He has narrowed the gap to third from 775 at the start of the series to 145 now.

5. Quinton De Kock - 2028 - Nips back into the Top 5 after a week away at the expense of Ravichandran Ashwin.
