[Durhamfootman]

gap is widening.... keep going boys..... I'm going to need a cushion later in the year. This would be a good time for Rashid Khan to stop loafing about

Weekly

1. Pat Cummins - 213 - Will be remembered more for his First Test but only finished 3rd that week. Scored less in the Second Test but takes his first Cricketer of the Week award of 2023 and his third of all time.

2. David Warner - 131 - Doubles his tally of points for the year in the Second test for his highest Weekly Score of 2023.

3. Sam Curran - 130 - It's the old adage; one good game and one decent game will get you in the Top 5 and such was the case with Curran in the last group fixtures of the T20 Blast.

4. Usman Khawaja - 114 - Not as impressive as his First Test total but 97 runs across the match is a good week regardless.

5. Cam Green - 98 - Isn't quite living up to the hype this year but his score of 98 sees him in the Top 5 for the week and move up two places to 12 on The Overall list.

Overall

1. Shubman Gill - 3001 - Another inactive week - his third on the bounce - and his lead on second place is down to two figures.

2. Jos Buttler - 2904 - A meagre showing of just 21 points this week but Buttler holds on to second place and could see himself in first with a decent T20 Blast run in.

3. Sam Curran - 2818 - For the last month or so Curran and Harmer have been matching each other stroke for stroke, however the Surrey man got 37 more than the Esser and moves into the Top 3.

4. Simon Harmer - 2784 - Down a place from last week after his first two figure score in an active week since February.

5. Rashid Khan - 2682 - Back in action this week and managed to hold off a challenge from Shakib Al Hasan in 6th, who was also back after a lay-off. There is just 16 points between the pair of them with 4 more White Ball games to play out between them.

Top 3 Averages

1. Shakib Al Hasan - 177.73 9Down from 185.79)
2. Shubman Gill - 166.72
3. Simon Harmer - 163.76 (Down from 168.14)

Pat Cummins's weekly high score improves his average by 11.63 points - up to 154.82. Shakib leaks 5.86 points from his average but still has the highest average of anyone.

good to have RK back in the game and SRH has a CC game a week for the next 3 weeks

Weekly Update

1. Shakib Al Hasan - 263 - Love him of loathe him the Bangladesh captain is irrepressible. Shrugs off 6 inactive weeks with his 4th Cricketer of the Week award od 2023. Nobody has more.

2. Pat Cummins - 201 - When Cummins plays he finishes in the weekly Top 5. It is as simple as that. Is eating into that deficit to 17th place Overall - it is now just 279 points.

3. Harry Brook - 128 - One of our disappointments this year (this is just his third Weekly Top 5 finish) - however his Ashes saving knock will live long in the memory. He moves up a place overall to 16th.

4. Moeen Ali - 115 - The cult hero pops up into the Top 5 for the first time in Red Ball Cricket this year - largely thanks to a brace in the second Australian innings of the Third Test. Goes up 2 places overall to 12th.

5. Devon Conway - 115 - A new competition for our list. 115 points for the Texas Super Kings in the Major League Cricket mark Conway's first points since the end of the IPL.

Overall List

1. Shubman Gill - 3001 - Will be back in action in next week's update and still holding on to Top Spot despite a month off

2. Jos Buttler - 2976 - His T20 Blast journey is over but he has used it to bring himself back up to second...however is lead on third is just 47 so he has not forced his agenda as much as he would have liked.

3. Shakib Al Hasan - 2929 - Only the two weeks out of the Top 5 for Shakib as he jumps from 6th to 3rd thanks to 2 ODIs and a T20 this week.

4. Simon Harmer - 2879 - An underwhelming return to County Championship Action for Harmer, however he holds fourth spot.

5. Sam Curran - 2845 - An uncharacteristically meagre return from Curran, however Finals Day might yield a fair few point for Curran. He has slipped two places to 5th.

Other Movers

Two players at the bottom end of the Top 10 moved up a place this week. Suryakumar Yadav's return to red ball cricket sees him up to 9th whilst Babar Azam ends 2 months off to move back into the Top Ten.

Top 3 Averages

1. Shakib Al Hasan - 183.06 (Up from 177.73)
2. Shubman Gill - 166.72
3. Pat Cummins - 161.43 (Up from 154.83)

Mixed weeks for our Aussies. Cummins is up the most - improving his average by 6.6.....in contrast Usman Khawaja leaks 6.35 points to 125.83.

Weekly Top 5

1. Ravindra Jadeja - 217 - Jadeja snaffled a double tonne of points without really breaking sweat in India's comprehensive First Test victory over West Indies to end his month long inactive spell.

2. Devon Conway - 154 - Conway more than made up for his 0 point game against Washington with 77 from 55 and three contributions with the gloves in the game against New York.

3. Marco Jansen - 122 - is back scoring points again after a break of 2 months....but this score represents his total from 3 games of MLC cricket so is on the more disappointing end of the spectrum.

4. Rashid Khan- 79 - I can comfortably say that few players in the history of cricket have played a match in Sylhet and a match in Dallas in the same week but that just typifies modern cricket and Rashid Khan's life. Expect more pyrotechnics in coming weeks of the MLC from Rashid

5. Shakib Al Hasan - 78 - A much more meagre return from Shakib this week but still just tips into the Top 5. Is about to join up with the Montreal Tigers in the Global T20 Canada League...you would suspect he will do some real damage there.

Weekly Update

1. Shubman Gill - 3037 - The 36 points he scored in the First Test against the West Indies were disapointing but allows him to hold onto first place. His lead is just 30 now.

2. Shakib Al Hasan - 3007 - It took Shakib just two weeks from his return to cricket to surge from 6th place back up to 2nd. With the....perhaps....slightly less rigorous standard of the Global T20 Canada competition, he may well be back up to top next week.

3. Jos Buttler - Inactive this week and down a spot to third. The Hundred is next on his agenda.

4. Simon Harmer - 2950 - Could not polish off Kent soon enough to be included in this week's update so remains in fourth with the 71 points he got in his two outings on T20 Blast Finals Day.

5. Sam Curran - 2870 - Only 25 points in a disappointing T20 Finals Day for Surrey and their captain. Has Rashid Khan breathing down his neck.

Ones to Watch

The Top 5 is in a massive state of flux at the moment. There are only 247 points between 1st and 7th and everyone in that mix will play over the next week with the exception of Buttler and Curran.

Top 3 Averages

1. Shakib Al Hasan - 176.88 (Down from 183.06)
2. Ravindra Jadeja - 164.12 (Up from 160.81)
3. Pat Cummins - 161.43

Shubman Gill's average takes the biggest tumble - down 6.88 to 159.84 - and he moves out of the overall Top 3. Jadeja's average improves the most - up 3.31 points to 164.12 - and he replaces Gill in second place.

[Durhamfootman]

Have you given harmer too many points, prof?

I have the same overall points total as last week

I have poor internet atm so I’m finding it hard to check

Cheers

[The Professor]

What about his points from Finals Day?

[Durhamfootman]

I made it 41 across the two matches

[The Professor]

I''ll double check when I get home.

Maybe I did one match in error

[The Professor]

Quite right....but it's just because I can't read my own handwriting.

[Durhamfootman]

Obviously there’s still his and RK’s points to add on to my total

[The Professor]

Oh....just clocked that.

It's cos I was holding off in case Kent folded quicker against Essex but forgot to add the rest. Bit of a shocker all round.

[Durhamfootman]

keep going Prof.... you'll get there

wait until you see how much of disaster the Hundred FL turns out to be with men and women playing together

[The Professor]

Double bubble for Harmer this week
