David Warner - The Best Cricketer of the Week

 



Only 7 out of our 21 players have stayed in the same position this week. Let's see whose been moving and shaking more than Michael Barratt on a washing machine.


Weekly Top 5

1. David Warner - 314 - An emphatic victory for a man who has looked anything but emphatic in 2022. Nearly doubled his points in 3 big-scoring IPL 2022 games. Has been in 18th place as long as there has been one, is now up 2.

2. KL Rahul - 233 - Largely here this week thanks to his century against a lacklustre Mumbai Indians. He *is* the highest point scorer in the IPL as it stands with 475. Up 3 to 13th.

=3. Glenn Maxwell - 198 - Making up for lost time after joining up with Bangalore late. He is averaging 70.5 points per game - the second most of any contributor. He moves up two spots to 7th.

=3. Rishabh Pant = 198 - Buoyed up by playing three games in a week however is influential even when he doesn't get to bat. He got 50 points with the gloves against Punjab.

5. Marnus Labuschagne = 183 - Isn't at his prolific best yet for Glamorgan but has squeaked into the Top 5 thanks to a 4th innings half century against Notts. Up 2 to 10th.

Overall Top 5


1. Babar Azam = 1630 - Has not played since he got top spot three weeks ago. Will not be here next week.

2. Simon Harmer = 1603 - By his titanic standard, Harmer's return to Essex was something of a damp squib. It's a long ol' Summer though.

3. Rishabh Pant = 1531 - Pant has STILL not stayed in one position for longer than a fortnight. This time he is moving back up the ladder to third.

4. Quinton De Kock = 1479 - That failure against Bangalore cost QDK dear. Keeps his run in the overall Top 5 going to 13 weeks - the longest run so far.

5. Mohammad Rizwan = 1433 - His score of 72 was the second lowest match total of any player turning out in the County Championship. Has dropped from 1st to 5th in the last month but there is still a decent cushion of 150 between him and Pat Cummins in 6th.

Ones To Watch

After 11 weeks in 18th place, David Warner is now a real contender for progression. He is 10 points behind his old team-mate Jonny Bairstow who is in dire straits. Could be an entertaining battle.

Top 3 Averages

1. Simon Harmer = 229 (Down from 239.67)
2. Babar Azam = 163
3. Matt Critchley = 162

David Warner's fine week continues. His average has swelled from the lowest of the year (51) to the fourth lowest (83.88). Moeen Ali's bad week saw him dropped from Chennai's line up and drop 12.81 points. His average is now 123.44 points a week.
