Weekly Top 5
1. Peter Siddle- 232 - Has played the fourth least cricket of anyone on The List this year, however he has has made it count when he has. This is his second Cricketer of the Week and sees him move up 3 places to 12th on the Overall List.
2. Steve Smith - 227 - Almost doubled his T20 score with the two warm-up games against New Zealand and India and the opening game against South Africa. He is just 50 points from escaping from second to bottom position on the Overall List - a berth he has held for 10 weeks.
3. Moeen Ali - 166 - Where T20 is concerned Moeen will always be in the mix....and T20 is very much on the agenda going forward. He now has a 163 point lead on Maxwell for the second most points for T20s.
4. Babar Azam - 125 - The Pakistani batsmen got ANOTHER score of 50+ in the warm up against the West Indies. He now has a 100 point lead on Batting Bonus points on Quinton De Kock.
5. Marnus Labuschagne - 113 - A more calm Shffield Shield game for Marnus this time out, however he manages to squeak into the Top 5. It is always a good sign when an average performance gets you three figure totals for the week.
Overall Top 5
1. Simon Harmer - 4452 - His performances in the CSA Provincial T20 Cup have been a little Brucey Bonus for Harmer to keep the wolf from the door but the gap on Marnus is now 358 points.
2. Marnus Labuschagne - 4094 - In just two weeks of Antipodean action, Marnus has shaved 201 points off Harmer's lead. You feel it is a matter of time.
3. Joe Root - 3614 - While the England T20 side are heating up in the UAE, Root is out in the cold. This is his 6th inactive week out of the last 7.
4. Babar Azam - 3530 - The T20 top point scorer has held down fourth spot for a staggering 22 weeks....a decent T20 World Cup could see him move up a place.
5. Moeen Ali - 3145 - Moeen is back up into fifth place after a poor start to the T20 World Cup for Quinton De Kock. The last time he overtook the South African he stayed there for a solitary week. Can he hold on longer term?
Ones to Watch
50 points separate 9th placed Dawid Malan, tenth placed Virat Kohli and eleventh placed Glenn Maxwell. Maxwell's weekly average is the only one North of 100 whilst Malan's is the second lowest of anyone in the least. I would be expecting those three places to reverse themselves over the course of the T20 World Cup.
Highest Players by Format
