Simon Harmer - The Best Cricketer of the Week

 



Weekly


1. Simon Harmer - 301 - Harmer's performances have been down on last year however he still manages to top the highest average points per week and the most Cricketers per week. The guys a freak.

2. Mohammad Rizwan - 229 - Back to his favoured format in the T20 Blast and back to scoring big points again. This is his highest score since his electric run in the PSL.

3. Bhanuka Rajapaksa - 217 - Straight off the plane from an indifferent IPL season and then scores a century for Burgher in the Major Clubs T20 Tournament. Has at least 3 more fixtures to boost his total.

4. Matt Critchley - 148 - A slightly below average County Championship outing versus Lancashire and a slightly below average T20 Blast score against Kent adds up to an alright score and fourth placed finish for Critch. Is up one on to 17th on the overall list too.

5. Ben Stokes - 145 - His second highest score in his three game burst with Durham sees him back in the Top 5 for the third consecutive week before his first foray into permanent Test captaincy.

Overall

1. Simon Harmer - 2306 - You can't keep a good guy down....and Harmer is very very good. Back to first spot after a solitary week in silver position.

2. Quinton De Kock - 2032 - With the exception of that huge score against Kolkata, De Kock lost some of his impetus in the last third of IPL 2022. 16 points in his final game knocks him down a place.

3. Mohammad Rizwan - 1876 - Just when it looked like he might drift out of the Top 5, the T20 Blast has come along to force his agenda once more. Back in the Top 3 for the first time in 6 weeks.

4. Rishabh Pant - 1853 - Another week, another switch up of position. Pant has never been out of the Top 6 but is down a spot again to 4th.

5. Marnus Labuschagne - 1845 - Is a better T20 player than most give him credit for and will want to prove that across the Blast. Starts with 111 points from 2 games and a drop down to 5th place.

Other Mover

Glenn Maxwell was the longest lasting player on our List in terms of IPL performances. His longevity sees him move up to 6th.

Ones to Watch

Marnus Labuschagne and Mohammad Rizwan could be in for a bit of a tussle. Marnus needs only 8 points to overtake Pant; and then there is just 23 points between him and Rizwan in 3rd.

Top 3 Averages

1. Simon Harmer = 209.64 (Up from 200.5)
2. Babar Azam = 163
3. Ben Stokes = 155.89 (Down from 157.25)

Warm Up games can really give your average a bit of a kicking; Jamieson has dropped down by 7.94 points to 129.56. Bhanuka Rajapaksa had a huge spike of 22.04 and now averages 84.71 points per week.
