Weekly Top 5
1. Joe Root - 303 - Winning Cricketer of the Week after such an abject team performance is like winning the handsomest man in the Burns Ward but here we are. This is Root's fourth time topping the weekly charts; he has never got more than three in any other year.
2. Moeen Ali - 226 - Fans of Moeen often cite his lack of consistency on the fact he is pulled from format to format and up and down the order. This is highlighted with a Test he wasn't expected to play in before a brief return to The Hundred. Finishes second though.
3. Simon Harmer - 202 - Harmer's involvement in the RLODC finished a match too early - but it is perhaps no coincidence that Essex fell on the match where he scored his third fewest points of the campaign.
4. Jasprit Bumrah - 174 - Scored considerably fewer points in the Second Test than he did in the first but still manages a decent spot on the Weekly List.
5. Dawid Malan - 106 - Probably one of the players that benefited the most from The Hundred on our List. Ends the tournament with a fifth placed finish for the week and a call up to the Test squad. Has moved up to 8th overall.
Other Mover
Virat scored points this week....which is an improvement on the First Test. Despite not registering in the Top 5 scores of the week he manages to overtake Glenn Maxwell and move into 13th.
Overall Top 5
For the 5th week in a row the Top 5 remain the same.
1. Marnus Labuschagne 3833
2. Simon Harmer 3667
3. Joe Root 3286
4. Babar Azam 2761
5. Quinton De Kock 2540
There is some sign of that breaking up though. Marnus' lead on Simon Harmer is now just 166. Short of something unexpected we are likely to see a new leader in due time.
Quinton De Kock also needs to be looking over his shoulder. He had a poor last three games of The Hundred and only has a 85 point cushion on Moeen Ali in 6th place.
One to Watch
A name to keep an eye on next week is Nicholas Pooran. It seems a life time ago but the West Indian spent most of the first third of the year in the Top 5. With the CPL starting next week he sits in 11th spot, 22 points off Handscomb in 10th and only 176 points off Ashwin in 7th.
