Quinton De Kock - The Best Cricketer of the Week

Weekly Top 5

1. Quinton De Kock - 475 - Playing five games in a week will really help your position on the Weekly List but QDK has also played out of his skin. 475 is the second highest weekly total we have ever seen.

2. Ben Stokes - 253 - Buoyed up by a great game early in the week against Warwickshire in the T20Blast, Stokes has gone on to finish second. He is averaging 70.5 points per Blast game. Moved up a place to 10th overall.

3. Joe Root - 207 - Back to ODIs for Joe and some pretty good performances against a listless Sri Lanka side sees him finish in the Top 5 for the third week in a row.

4. Simon Harmer - 160 - Fewer games for Harmer this week but he did get his highest score of the T20 Blast so far against Somerset. A return to four day Cricket looms for him to continue his dominant Summer.

5. Dawid Malan - 146 - Has had a pretty anodyne Summer of cricket for both Yorkshire and England but played one of the innings of his life in the final T20 against Sri Lanka. Moved up a place to 13th overall.

Yearly Top 5

1. Marnus Labuschagne - 3014 - Marnus' lead is so big that his period of quarantine and an inactive week sees him continue to hold a lead of 399 points despite Root and Harmer finishing in the Top 5 highest scorers for the week.

2. Joe Root - 2618 - 14 straight weeks in second spot for Joe Root. With Tests around the corner he will hope to move up a place before the Summer is out.

3. Simon Harmer - 2510 - Has County Championship commitments this week, can he score big and finally real in second place? The gap is now just 108; Harmer averages 209.17 points an active week.

4. Babar Azam - 2090 - An inactive week for Babar before the England v Pakistan games start next week. It will see Azam and Root (two top five players) go head-to-head.

5. Quinton De Kock - 1671 - Unprecedented scenes as QDK jumps SEVEN places to gatecrash the top 5 from absolutely nowhere.
