Huge totals this week and a huge amount of movement in The List
Weekly Update
1. Marnus Labuschagne - 408 - Quite quiet all year and then a monster score in the final month of the year. Despite the big score is only up a solitary place to 8th.
2. Steve Smith - 320 - Is starting to put his poor form behind him and producing some batting displays to make you sit up and take notice once more. So far behind the pace was he that 320 points does not see him move up from 18th place overall.
3. Joe Root - 216 - Bit of an all-round performance from the newly christened spin bowling option. All disciplines chipped in to see him finish third this week. He also moves back into the Top Ten.
4. Moeen Ali - 213 - Big things were expected of Moeen in the Abu Dhabi T10. He was dire for most of it and then pulled out a huge display in the game that knocked them out.
5. Travis Head - 209 - Is having something of an international revolution in the last few weeks of the year. Finished just short of a century in the first Test vs West Indies and also bagged two wickets to finish in the Top 5 once more.
Overall
1. Simon Harmer - 5856 - The presumptive Cricketer of the Year was inactive this week.... but he deserves to put his feet up.
2. Mohammad Rizwan - 4705 - Back in the points again this week but not enough to even cause a frisson of a potentiality of a hope of an interest of pushing top spot.
3. Moeen Ali - 4020 - Such was his poor form in the Abu Dhabi T10 that it was fully expected that Moeen would lose his Top 3 place however two blistering scores in his last two games puts 72 points between him and 4th.
4. Babar Azam - 3948 - A century knock for Pakistan against England was not enough for him to reclaim 4th spot.
5. Quinton De Kock - 3493 - Inactive for a calendar month.....but still holding on to 5th. This week could be his time of reckoning; he is only 166 points off the Test playing Ben Stokes.
Other Movers
So many players have registered scores outside the Top 5 for the week but have seen themselves move up The List. Ben Stokes move sup the most and finishes the highest - up from 8th to 6th. Meanwhile the 2 Aussies Warner and Cummins are both up a place to 11th and 16th respectively.
Ones to Watch
With the Australian Summer in full swing one of the big questions is, how far can Marnus go. He is in great form and is 2 points off 7th, 70 off 6th and 236 off 5th.
Top Three Averages
1. Simon Harmer = 195.2
2. Ben Stokes = 135.8 (Up from 134.75)
3. Babar Azam = 131.6 (Up from 129.93)
Steve Smith has improved his average by a huge 10.58 points a week to 97.68. It underlines Rajapaksa's awful year that, after having the lowest average already he has leaked the most and now only scores 67.15 a week.
