Moeen Ali - The Best Cricketer of the Week

 



It has been a very busy week at the business end of our table. 11 of our top 12 were active this week and none of the bottom 6 featured at all.


Who were the big movers of the week?

Weekly

1. Moeen Ali - 287 - After a quiet start to BPL 2022, kicked it up a gear with 46 runs against Sylhet and 75 runs and two wickets on Friday versus Khulna. This is his second highest weekly total in his 13 months on the lists.

2. Mohammad Rizwan - 266 - His performances have been tailing away slightly as the week has gone on but his huge score against Peshawar made up 65% of his weekly total.

3. Rishabh Pant - 225 - Pant is a sporadic performer but when he goes big he strikes gold. His third ODI against the West Indies gives him enough for third place.

4. Kyle Jamieson - 158 - Back in action for Auckland before joining back up with the national team, Jamieson kept his eye in with his third successive three figure score.

5. Quinton De Kock - 152 - Not available for South Africa, QDK is turning out for the Titans in his favourite format of T20. He disappointed against the Warriors but went big vs Boland to see him finish fifth for the week.

Overall

1. Rishabh Pant - 640 - Pant spent all of January in second or third place, dropped down to fourth for the first week in February but has now jumped up 3 places to top spot as the most impressive Cricketer of the Year so far.

2. Moeen Ali - 616 - His rich vein of T20 form in BPL 2022 has seen Moeen move up into second position. This is his highest ever berth on our List.

3. Glenn Maxwell - 548 - The Big Show was inactive for three weeks and held on to his top spot. On his return to cricket, he scores 7 points versus Sri Lanka and moves down to third. Should have stayed at home!

4. Simon Harmer - 526 - Inactive for the week and down two places to 4th.

5. Quinton De Kock - 521 - Uncharacteristically, QDK is the eye of the storm this week. Whilst every other member of the Top Ten moved position, he remained static in 5th spot.

Ones to Watch

Two of our powerhouse bowlers are both in action this week in different formats and with a lot to play for. Cummins sits just 2 points above Jamieson with a series of T20s to play versus Sri Lanka. Will Jamieson's Test form give him the edge and return him into the top 5?

Top Three Averages

1. Simon Harmer - 263
2. Quinton De Kock - 173.67 (Down from 184.5)
3. Mohammad Rizwan - 169.67 (Up from 121.5)

Some huge swings this week. Mohammad Rizwan takes a huge jump of 48.17 whilst Pat Cummins goes from the dizzying highs of Test cricket to the low yields of T20s and sheds 65.83 points from his average. He now sits on 153.67.
