Hasan Ali - The Best Cricketer of the Week

 

Weekly Top 5

1. Hasan Ali - A quiet start against Kent gave birth to a phenomenal showing against Gloucestershire. Up 6 (!) places to 12th overall.

2. KL Rahul - 201 - Really is having a barn-storming IPL 2022. Another 201 points this week sees him with 163 points more than anyone else.

3. Simon Harmer - 195 - By his own standards, Harmer has started the County Cricket 2022 season in parochial fashion. Just the solitary wicket was bolstered by a score of 75* in Essex's loss to Warwickshire last week.

4. Quinton De Kock - 86 - A meagre score against Mumbai Indians was bolstered with a big score against Punjab on Friday. Yet another Top 5 finish.

5. Jonny Bairstow- 78 - Think it speaks volumes for how long scoring a week it has been that the anodyne looking Bairstow sneaks into the Top 5. His week was saved by the Lucknow game where he nearly doubled his IPL 2022 total.

Overall Top 5

1. Simon Harmer - 1798 - Here we are again with Simon Harmer back in top spot. Has not graced the Top Table since the 10th December last year but the 2018 Champion is back in Pole Position.

2. Babar Azam - 1630 - His third inactive week and the former Number One player has IPL 2022 players breathing down his neck. Worrying times ahead.

3. Quinton De Kock - 1565 - Was only muscled out of third place for a solitary week before snatching it right back again.

4. Rishabh Pant - 1553 - Only the one game for Pant this week - and a fairly lowkey score of 22 sees him nudged back down to 4th.

5. Mohammad Rizwan - 1457 - Will be disappointed with his start to the County Championship 2022 season with Sussex but has 0 scoreboard pressure. The nearest active player to him is 276 points away.

Ones To Watch

The battle at the top between De Kock and Pant looks tasty. As it stands there is only 12 points between them and the pair face off against each on Sunday.
