Simon Harmer - The Best Cricketer of the Week

 



Weekly


1. Simon Harmer - 659 - A record breaking week for Harmer. His weekly total is the highest ever recorded on our List - overtaking Marnus Labuschagne 641 from this time last year. It is also his 30th time topping the Weekly List. His nearest rival is Stokes with just 13.

2. Jonny Bairstow - 373 - In only 24 weeks between now and 2018 would Bairstow's total last week not have seen him top the weekly List but such is the vagaries of the English Summer. YJB moves up an astronomical 5 places to 12th on the overall List.

3. Mohammad Rizwan - 270 - His return stint to Sussex has yielded two successive 200 points weeks before he jogs back off to represent Pakistan later this month.

4. Joe Root - 181 - More of an all round performance from Honest Joe this week but 86* is never to be sniffed at. He is up to seventh place - his highest position of the year so far.

5. Rishabh Pant - 126 - Leicestershire's Rishabh Pant.....yes, that's right....warmed up for the Eng vs Ind series with a comfortable cameo for the County setup.

Overall

1. Simon Harmer - 3339 - When you are already leading the pack and then get the highest points score ever, you are very likely to continue in top spot. In fact, it might be a very long while until we see anybody eat into Harmer's 758 lead.

2. Mohammad Rizwan - 2581 - Rizwan has 'done a Labuschagne' and used a spell at a Division Two team to shore up his position in the Top 5. He now has a fortnight off but the gap between second and third is the third largest on our list.

3. Marnus Labuschagne - 2221 - Scored the second lowest total of the week...but still managed to move up into third.

4. Glenn Maxwell - 2203 - Despite the hype, was inactive this week and drops a place because of it.

5. Rishabh Pant - 2126 - Started his mini tour of England with a good game for Leicestershire and moves back into the Top 5 again after 2 weeks away.

Ones To Watch

Again it is Labuschagne and Maxwell. Marnus is now 18 ahead of Glenn but, should Maxi play, it is all up for grabs.

Top Three Averages

1. Simon Harmer = 208.69 (Up from 178.67)
2. Babar Azam = 157.33
3. Ben Stokes = 156.42 (Down from 167.18)

A fortnight ago, Harmer was the biggest loser and Stokes the biggest winner - this week it is reversed....however both hold on to their place in the Top 3.
