Simon Harmer - The Best Cricketer of the Week




 Weekly Top 5


1. Simon Harmer - 140 - A sixth Cricketer of the Week accolade for Simon Harmer, however 140 is the 5th lowest winning total for the week we've ever had.

2. Peter Handscomb - 129 - Things haven't really been clicking for Handscomb for Middlesex but he had a good outing against Durham in the RLODC to finish in second place for the week.

3. Dawid Malan - 121- Malan always starts very well in competitions and then fades away; The Hundred has been no different. He scored 90% of this total in his first game against the Southern Brave. The other 10% game from his other two matches.

4. Nicholas Pooran - 92 - Pooran is quietly grafting away in his home Summer. This is his third successive Top 5 finish for the week. His average of 93.88 points per active week does look low though.

5. Moeen Ali - 75 - After finishing top of the tree last week, he had a more subdued week this time. He has also moved upwards in the Overall List - he is now in sixth spot

Overall Top 5

1. Marnus Labuschagne - 3833 - The first week of, what is expected to be, a quite lengthily lay off sees Marnus' lead at the top down to a mere 828. To put that into context, that is 28 points less than David Warner has scored in whole of 2021.

2. Simon Harmer - 3005 - A decent RLODC series of performances sees his lead on third place extend.

3. Joe Root - 2740 - An underwhelming cameo in The Hundred sees second place slip further away from him. He needs to be looking over his shoulder now too.

4. Babar Azam - 2565 - Rain saw Babar inactive this week but will be looking to do bits in the Caribbean.

5. Quinton De Kock - 2102 - QDK hasn't brought his international form to The Hundred but manages to hold down 5th for a second week.
