Weekly Update

As the IPL ground down and the T20 World Cup gears up, there was not enough active cricketers for a Top 5 this week - so a top 3 it is....

1. Marnus Labuschagne - 148 - After ten weeks out the game, it did not take long for Marnus to top the table for the week sixth time this year. It is worth noting that this is the seventh lowest score for the Number One player for a week since records began.

2. Peter Siddle - 140 - A long spell away has ended for Siddle. He scored just 30 points in the Sheffield Shield game against Queensland but got a three-fer in the Marsh Cup to boost his score.

3. Moeen Ali - 113 - Moeen is now the second highest T20 point scorer on our List and can thank his sparkling IPL 2021 performance....now onwards to the World Cup.

Overall List

The fifth successive week of an unchanged Overall Top 5, in fact only Marnus was the only active player in the Top 5. He narrows the gap between himself and Harmer down to 411.

Simon Harmer 4392
Marnus Labuschagne 3981
Joe Root 3614
Babar Azam 3405
Quinton De Kock 3055

Ones to Watch

The narrowest gap on the List is the 25 points between 9th placed Malan and 10th placed Kohli - both of whom are likely to be key contributors for their respective sides in the T20 World Cup.

Long Form - Joe Root - 3140

T20 - Babar Azam - 2383

2. Marnus Labuschagne - 189.57 (Down from 191.65)

Headlines

There is a great deal of flux in amongst that chasing pack.

RDj, who dropped two places last week, is back up one place to third this week - while Alviro who was seventh two months ago and 3rd one month ago now moves up a place to 5th.

[Durhamfootman]

the Marsh cup game was a welcome surprise. It keeps the Lambshanks threat at bay for another week.

cheers Prof

[Durhamfootman]

SRH turned out for Titan's today

back end of the tournament, so only one or maybe two more matches left, but it's bonus points and it's all in a good cause

Beat me to it

[Durhamfootman]

a good week for the bananaman. Might just keep Red at arms length for another week

Weekly Top 5

1. Peter Siddle- 232 - Has played the fourth least cricket of anyone on The List this year, however he has has made it count when he has. This is his second Cricketer of the Week and sees him move up 3 places to 12th on the Overall List.

2. Steve Smith - 227 - Almost doubled his T20 score with the two warm-up games against New Zealand and India and the opening game against South Africa. He is just 50 points from escaping from second to bottom position on the Overall List - a berth he has held for 10 weeks.

3. Moeen Ali - 166 - Where T20 is concerned Moeen will always be in the mix....and T20 is very much on the agenda going forward. He now has a 163 point lead on Maxwell for the second most points for T20s.

4. Babar Azam - 125 - The Pakistani batsmen got ANOTHER score of 50+ in the warm up against the West Indies. He now has a 100 point lead on Batting Bonus points on Quinton De Kock.

5. Marnus Labuschagne - 113 - A more calm Shffield Shield game for Marnus this time out, however he manages to squeak into the Top 5. It is always a good sign when an average performance gets you three figure totals for the week.

Overall Top 5

1. Simon Harmer - 4452 - His performances in the CSA Provincial T20 Cup have been a little Brucey Bonus for Harmer to keep the wolf from the door but the gap on Marnus is now 358 points.

2. Marnus Labuschagne - 4094 - In just two weeks of Antipodean action, Marnus has shaved 201 points off Harmer's lead. You feel it is a matter of time.

3. Joe Root - 3614 - While the England T20 side are heating up in the UAE, Root is out in the cold. This is his 6th inactive week out of the last 7.

4. Babar Azam - 3530 - The T20 top point scorer has held down fourth spot for a staggering 22 weeks....a decent T20 World Cup could see him move up a place.

5. Moeen Ali - 3145 - Moeen is back up into fifth place after a poor start to the T20 World Cup for Quinton De Kock. The last time he overtook the South African he stayed there for a solitary week. Can he hold on longer term?

Ones to Watch

50 points separate 9th placed Dawid Malan, tenth placed Virat Kohli and eleventh placed Glenn Maxwell. Maxwell's weekly average is the only one North of 100 whilst Malan's is the second lowest of anyone in the least. I would be expecting those three places to reverse themselves over the course of the T20 World Cup.

Highest Players by Format

Long Form - Joe Root - 3140
50 Over - Simon Harmer - 954
T20 - Babar Azam - 2508

Top 3 Averages

1. Marnus Labuschagne - 186.09 (Down from 189.57)
1. Simon Harmer - 186.5 (Down from 190.96)
3. Joe Root - 164.27

AGAIN. Ashwin's average took the biggest drop. In 3 weeks he has gone from the highest average to the 7th highest. Steve Smith's change in T20 fortune sees him up 10.5 points to 132.5.

Can the bananaman keep me an arms length away from the chasing pack?

cheers Prof


is there a reason why Harmer got 60 points and not 70?
All points may yet count.... going to be a tight run thing, I reckon

I'll check when I get in

[The Professor]

14th placed Ben Stokes was 8th when he played his last game
...how far can he rise in The Ashes?

[The Professor]

Oh.....so.....that doesn't reflect too well on Quinton De Kock.

Might have to put him alongside Shakib Al Hasan in the dark corner of the pantheon of players we have selected.

[The Professor]

There's never been a better time for De Kock to have dropped out of The Overall Top 5.

Go on, Moeen!

Re Harms

I have him down as 2 wickets (40 pts), 10 in the field and 10 economy.....what have I missed?

[Durhamfootman]

run out is 20 not 10
