1. Simon Harmer - 153 - At the end of the English Summer the unstoppable force of Simon Harmer usually...stops. No such luck for the chasing pack this time as his performance for the Titans has seen him win his 8th Cricketer of the Week award of 2021.
2. Jasprit Bumrah - 150 - Has had a topsy turvy T20 World Cup but decent scores New Zealand and Scotland take him to second spot for the week. Moves up a place overall to 13th, 1 point off 12th.
3. Babar Azam - 110 - Considering he only played once this week, it is no small feat that the Pakistan talisman finishes in the Top 5 yet again. He has three of the four highest individual scores of the T20 World Cup.
4. Kane Williamson - 101 - Whilst his scores in T20 are never huge, Mr Steady-the-Ship does just that. He has two scores in the top third of all registered, one in the middle and one in the bottom third.
Two players tied for 5th place this week.
=5. Peter Siddle - 100 - The Tasmania player got a three-fer for Tasmania in their Marsh Cup victory over Queensland to finish joint fifth for the week. Moves into 11th place onf the overall list.
=5. Ravichandran Ashwin - 100 - For a long time Ashwin has been blackballed in the white ball game; he made that decision look questionable this week. His score of 80 against Afghanistan is the 6th highest of the T20 World Cup and the second highest by an Indian.
Overall Top 5
1. Simon Harmer - 4605 - Harmer's 4-Day Franchise Series exploits is keeping the wolf from the door and keeps Harmer in top spot for a ninth week. He extends his lead to 78 points.
2. Marnus Labuschagne - 4527 - A more meagre total for Marnus does not see him move into top spot. The gap on third place is now 639 - the largest gap between any two cricketers by some distance.
3. Babar Azam - After finishing third for the week, Azam also holds third spot overall for the second consecutive week. There us 491 points between him and the next active player.
4. Joe Root - 3614 - Another inactive week. Root will not be able to wait for The Ashes to get going. He needs to hope the gap between himself and third is not insurmountable by that time.
5. Moeen Ali - 3266 - Has not had the crackerjack T20 World Cup that many thought he might be he certainly has made 5th position his. The gap between himself and Quinton De Kock now stands at 488 points. He is also clear in second place as the highest T20 points scorer.
Ones to Watch
A mere 89 points stand between 9th and 13th. In that cluster you see Virat Kohli and Dawid Malan who are tied in 9th and Glenn Maxwell who is 1 point ahead of Jasprit Bumrah.
