Peter Siddle - The Best Cricketer of the Week

 Weekly Update

1. Peter Siddle - 190 - A fairly meagre weekly high score is enough to see Siddle claim his third Cricketer of the Week accolade in what has been a fairly calm week for the Cricketing world. Makes a huge five place leap in the overall list to 9th.

2. Marnus Labuschagne - 156 - A Sheffield Shield and a Marsh Cup game in the same week would have seen Marnus hoping to score big; however his more modest totals sees him finish 'just' second.

3. Kane Williamson - 135 - Mr Second Place finishes third this week - he was the highest point scorer of the T20 World Cup Final though. He improved his overall score by 346 points across the competition but still stays in third bottom place overall.

4. David Warner - 103 - The T20 World Cup player of the series finishes the tournament with a fourth place finish off the back of his performance in the final. Scored the second most points of anyone on our List during the tournament but is STILL rock bottom overall.

5. Ravichandran Ashwin - 90 - Whilst his more 'glamorous' colleagues have a lay down, Ashwin is still plugging away against New Zealand. He has 360 more points than Kohli and 414 more than Bumrah.

Overall List

1. Simon Harmer - 4743 - Inactive this week but is due a fairly large haul of points in next week's update. We may be looking at Mr 2021.

2. Marnus Labuschagne - 4683 - Not a box office week for Marnus but gets his gap on first place down to two figures again.

3. Babar Azam - 4061 - Just 8 points for him this week but is pretty safe in 3rd place. There are 622 points to 2nd place and 447 to fourth.

4. Joe Root - 3614 - "And time goes by so slowly/And time can do so much"

5. Moeen Ali - 3499 - Last week I erroneously said it was hard to see when Moeen would get any more points this year....clearly forgetting the Abu Dhabi T10. Expect some incoming SR points.
