Simon Harmer - The Best Cricketer of the Week




 Busy one this week as all but 4 of our 20 players in action.


Weekly Top 5

1. Simon Harmer - 276 - Back in red ball action again this week and back at the top of the table. Only one wicket in his first innings but a fivefer gave him 130 points to bag his 5th Cricketer of the Week award - nobody has more.

2. Jonny Bairstow - 269- Bairstow's pattern of good week-bad week continues. His last month has seen him with weekly scores of 3, then 124, then 4 and now 269 for his highest placing of the year.

3. Shakib Al Hasan - 175 - Another good week for Shakib and another 3 Asia Cup games to come. His 53 against Pakistan was the highlight of the week.

4. Rashid Khan - 171 - Rashid hasn't been too prolific with this bat but produced two impactful scores of 20+ this week which bolstered the fact he only got two wickets. Despite that his Asia Cup is now done. Seemingly no cricket for him until the World Cup warm-ups.

5. Harry Brook - 149 - This weeks 'One good Performance Gets You In The Top 5' nominee. Started the week well....got into the ODI World Cup squad....then done rather poorer.



Overall Top 5

1. Shakib Al Hasan - 4117 - Finished second to Harmer for the week but manages to hold on to first nonetheless. Elimination from the Asia Cup would have seen him lose top spot but the battle still rages on. he has now equalled Gill's record of 15 weeks at number 1.

2. Simon Harmer - 4008 - Top of the pops for the week but still cannot add to his solitary week at the top of the overall table. Has an inactive week next week.

3. Jos Buttler - 3782 - Three weeks in the Top 3. Lots of cricket on the horizon. No real pressure from below. Lovely stuff from Jos.

4. Shubman Gill - 3531 - A reasonably modest score from Gill this week but manages to hold 4th place for the third week in a row.

5. Rashid Khan - 3413 - A month out of the Top 5 but Rashid is back. last time he only stayed for a week and you would suspect his tenancy will be shortlived once more with no cricket on the horizon for him and Curran 58 points behind.

Ones To Watch

Cam Green should also be on the move should he shake off his concussion.

Other Movers

Moeen goes up another spot to 10th despire another set of underwhelming scores. Bairstow is also off bottom spot in a heart warming moment for people who break legs playing golf.

Top 3 Averages

1. Simon Harmer - 174.26 (Up from 169.64)
2. Shakib Al Hasan - 171.54 (Up from 171.39)
3. Ravindra Jadeja - 162. 25 (Down from 165)

Last week Azam achieved the biggest gain in average whilst Bairstow experienced the biggest drop. This was reversed this week with Azam down 6.41 to 138.75 with Bairstow up 13 to 104.92.
