Weekly Top 5
1. Ben Stokes - 291 - England's new Test captain came back to domestic cricket with a huge bang as he schools Worcestershire with his willow. His score of 231 is the highest innings score in the County Championship so far.
2. Jonny Bairstow - 222 - YJB seems to have put his dire form behind him and turned a corner in IPL 2022. Scored more in the last 2 games than he did in his first 7. Only moves up a single place to 15th overall.
3. Marnus Labuschagne - 190 - Nowhere near as prolific as his score against Derbyshire but a decent total to see Marnus keep ticking alone. Retains tenth place overall.
4. Glenn Maxwell - 188 - Scored his joint highest and second highest scores in IPL 2022 this week; yet only gets 4th place for it and retains 7th spot overall. He has been there a month now.
5. Hasan Ali - 164 - His score against Warwickshire was his lowest County Championship score of the season and he still finishes in the Top 5. Not bad to be the fifth best on your worst day so far.
Overall
1. Simon Harmer - 2005 - Is in pretty poor form (for him) but is still extending his lead in top spot.
2. Quinton De Kock - 1779 - Finished just outside the Top 5 for the week but manages to jump up two spots to his highest position in his three years on our List.
3. Rishabh Pant - 1757 - Another week and another slight readjustment for Pant. This time he is back down to third spot but there is only 22 points between him and second place.
4. Mohammad Rizwan - 1647 - A rather unlikely move up the table for Rizwan whose score of 51 was the third lowest of the week - but benefits from Azam's decline.
5. Babar Azam - 1630 - Right on the precipice now. Labuschagne needs just 84 points this week to relieve him of his nine week tenure in the Top 5.
Other movers
There are some more lowly movers to look at. Matt Critchley's 75 is enough to see him up one place to 17th whilst Bhanuka Rajapaksa eases Kane Williamson into bottom position.
Ones To Watch
There is some tantalising IPL 2022 vs County Championship contests to look out for. Bairstow is just 1 point above Joe Root, whilst Stokes has a 4 point advantage on KL Rahul. Will red or white ball prevail?
Top 3 Averages
1. Simon Harmer = 200.5 (Down from 206.78)
2. Babar Azam = 163
3. Ben Stokes = 160 (Up from 138.17)
Stokes' masterclass for Durham sees him as the biggest improvement whilst Matt Critchley's variable season sees him drop out of the Top 3 into 6th as he drops 14.45 points to 132.8 a week.
