Simon Harmer - The Best Cricketer of the Week

 



Weekly Top 5


1. Simon Harmer - 315 - So here we are again, with Harmer winning Cricketer of the Week for the seventh time in 2021. He was won it twice more than Labuschagne and Root who are his nearest competitors.

2. Moeen Ali - 165 - Started the Eng vs Ind series outside of the Test side but has used it as the icing on his cake to a good point-scoring English Summer.

3. Joe Root - 127 - This is the lowest score he has mustered of the 4 Tests by some distance but he ended with an average of 218.5 points per Test....not to be sniffed at.

4. Virat Kohli - 124 - Kohli saved his highest Test score until last in the Eng vs Ind series and manages to creep into the top 5.

5. Nicholas Pooran - 99 - His score this week is far less prolific than his List topping score of last week, however he continues to keep his name in the frame.

Overall Top 5

1. Simon Harmer - 4164 - Holds top spot for the second consecutive week and has opened up a 331 point lead on second and a 550 point lead on third.

2. Marnus Labuschagne - 3833 - His seventh inactive week has hit Marnus - but such was his lead that he still has a 219 point jump on third place.

3. Joe Root - 3614 - Has improved his score over the Eng vs Ind series to the tune of 874 but this is not reflected by any movement away from third spot.

4. Babar Azam - 2919 - Azam's fourth place spot seems as inevitable as the rising sun. He holds it for the 14th consecutive week.

5. Moeen Ali - 2678 - After 7 weeks with no change in the Top 5, Moeen has finished off a successful English Summer by usurping Quinton De Kock from 5th spot. It is the first time Moeen has entered the Top 5.
