The Professor's Cricketer of the Day

[Durhamfootman]

not a Sorry player... I can live with that

[The Professor]

Fakhar Zaman -114

[Durhamfootman]

Always been a batsman's game, of course.

Pakistan had 5 batsmen scoring more than any India player not called Hardik, suggesting that the runs were there to be had. Perhaps today's award should go to one of the bowlers who stopped India's much vaunted batting line up? Aamer 3-16 with the scalps of Rohit, Dhawan and Kohli.... all of whom have been in good order right throughout the tournament...... and killing the run chase before it had even begun

A cheater, of course, who should be serving a life ban, so not him........ batsman it is then

Amir dealt the crucial blows. Batters who could score 250 on his day, another batter who could score 100 on his day and one more who can score 150+ on his day. Those 3 were in-form as well. Three huge wickets who could have scored 80% of those runs as we saw in some matches.

In what has been a sparkling month for the England veteran I have to go for Samit Patel again. 157* against Leicestershire.

[Durhamfootman]

3 hundreds in his last 4 innings, so no argument from me. Very nearly Sanga-esque

[The Professor]

Elyse Villani who helped Australia Women to victory against South Africa Women with her score of 137.

[Arthur Crabtree]

Not Samit!?

[The Professor]

Change is as good as a rest.

[Durhamfootman]

Go Villani!

[The Professor]

168 runs from today's play took Dane Vilas to a brilliant double century for Lancashire against Hampshire.

[Durhamfootman]

hard to argue against

[The Professor]

Hope this one is appreciated as I am sat in a Belgian youth hostels with 60 13 year olds but...

Simon Harmer's 7 wickets in a day made up his carer best figures so gotta go for him.

[Durhamfootman]

I you hadn't, you'd have had to answer to me

14 wickets in the match too. Belter!

[Arthur Crabtree]

Well done Harmi. Well deserved.
