Simon Harmer - The Best Cricketer of the Week...again




Weekly Top 5


1. Simon Harmer - 268 - It is the height of Summer and therefore Harmer season. he has now been Cricketer of the Month for 3 of the last 4 weeks. Unstoppable.

2. Babar Azam - 244 - Pakistan were staring down the barrel of a first innings deficit when Azam pulled off a Joe Root style rescue mission to claim second place.

3. Rishabh Pant - 195 - It has been a great month for Rishabh Pant, topped off by his maiden ODI century in the final match against England. Is truly becoming a very useful all format player.

4. Hasan Ali - 142 - Has failed to live up to his promise this year but will always do a job in a longer form game. This big score is largely down to his meagre economy but every point counts. Moves up a place to 16th.

5. Joe Root - 136 - Has not lived up to his billing in the ODI series with India but saved his best to last with a half century in the final losing effort.

Overall Top 5

1. Simon Harmer - 4139 - Keeps on scoring, keeps on extending his lead. He was the first to breach the 3000 point mark and has now reached the 4000 mark before anyone else joined him on 3k.

2. Rishabh Pant - 2791 - Back up to 2nd, his highest score for 3 months. Has to set his sight on putting some distance on the pack as he enters the WIvIND series.

3. Mohammad Rizwan - 2612 - In action this week but didn't make enough to stem the charge of those below him, down to 3rd.

4. Moeen Ali - 2456 - Is starting to feel the pressure after some lukewarm performances in the international shirt - however still makes progress up our List and moves into fourth.

5. Marnus Labuschagne - 2427 - Inactive this week and drops down a place before the next sl v aus Test.

Other Movers

Jonny Bairstow is the most significant mover outside the weekly top 5 as he continues his charge up the table. He was 17th 3 weeks ago and now sits in 7th.

Matt Critchley also moves up a place to 13th.

Ones to Watch

The smallest gap is between 5th and 6th who are both in action this week. Can Joe Root score more in 2 ODIs than Labuschagne can in a Test?

Top Three Averages

1. Simon Harmer = 217.84 (Up from 215.06)
2. Babar Azam = 160 (Up from 153.54)
3. Joe Root = 151.06 (Down from 152.07)

Ben Stokes was the biggest loser as he marked his final ODI with a bit of a whimper. He leaks 6.64 points off his average and drops out the Top 3. Babar Azam improves his average by 6.46 thanks to the miracle at Galle.
