One of those weird weeks where, despite only three people featuring, so much has changed on a larger scale. First off a review of those three players.
Weekly Round Up
The first massive week for Harmer in 2023 and it was a Big Daddy - his 401 was the 21st highest weekly score ever. This was courtesy of a double five-fer against Warwickshire added to 2 wickets from a T20 Blast outing against Warwickshire.
In 32% of the 218 weeks we have been playing this game, Sam Curran's 234 points would have been the highest score of the week but he has to settle for silver medal this time out. A very decent return to red ball cricket for Surrey.
Jos Buttler's 153 points this week came from a solitary T20 Blast fixture and is probably the highest lowest weekly score... if you see what I mean.
Overall Table
1. Shubman Gill - 3001 - Still holding on to that top place berth after six weeks, but now has a lead of a mere 118.
2. Jos Buttler - 2883 - Not only holds second place, but significantly narrows the gap to first whilst distancing himself from third place.
3. Simon Harmer - 2691 - Much like the all-conquering Thanos of the Marvel franchise, Harmer is inevitable. His return to the Top 5 (skipping out any time in 4th and 5th) brings order to the chaotic world of cricket once more.
4. Sam Curran - 2688 - Despite his hard graft in the T20 Blast, it was a rare County Championship appearance that saw Curran into his debut spell in the Overall Top 5.
5. Rashid Khan - 2612 - His 23 weeks of constant activity have been undermined by three inactive weeks and he threatens to lose the Top 5 berth he has held for 17 weeks.
Ones To Watch
Another week where the big battle is between Harmer and Curran. This battle started when they were 8th and 9th and continues with them holding 3rd and 4th spot....with just 3 points between them.

1. Shakib Al Hasan - 185.79
2. Simon Harmer - 168.14 (Up from 152.67)

Harmer's average jumps up by 15.52 this week to make him the second highest average of anyone. His average has improved by 40 points per week over the last 5 weeks.
