Quinton De Kock - The Best Cricketer of the Week

 

Only 7 players featured this week and of them four scored under 30....so just a top three is in order this week.

Weekly Update

1. Quinton De Kock - 174 - The player of the tournament from the white ball leg of India's tour of South Africa get his first Cricketer of the Week of 2022 and his fourth overall.

2. Moeen Ali - 151 - Scored the all but 10 of his points in just one of the three T20s he played against West Indies. Could have been in for a corker of a score if he hadn't been so anodyne in the other fixtures.

3. Mohammad Rizwan - 92 - Makes his bow on the list with a third placed finished thanks to his PSL victory for Multan in Fixture 1 of the tournament. Is likely to be a contender long-term.

Overall Update

1. Glenn Maxwell - 541 - Inactive this week but that HUGE score Melbourne Stars against Hobart still sees him 126 points ahead of the next active player.

2. Pat Cummins - 439 - Holds second place for the second week in a row despite an inactive week.

3. Rishabh Pant - 415 - Despite scoring the second lowest total for the week, Pant manages to keep hold of his third place spot for a second week. Has yet to be outside the top 3.

4. Quinton De Kock - 369 - Ostensibly in the Top 5 thanks to just two ODIs. Spent 14 weeks in the Top 5 last year but finished 6th. Can he go one better this year?

5. Kyle Jamieson - 300 - Is into his third inactive week but is still clinging onto his Top Five place. He has a 64 point lead on KL Rahul in sixth.

Other movers

Despite scoring a mere 29 points, Rahul managed to overtake Simon Harmer and Marnus Labuschagne and move into 6th spot.

Ones to Watch
