Mohammad Rizwan - The Best Cricketer of the Week




Weekly Top 5


1. Mohammad Rizwan - 289 - After an underwhelming PAK vs WI series, Rizwan has returned to Surrey and put in two banging T20 Blast performances out of 3. Rizwan's second Cricketer of the Week award.

2. Pat Cummins - 195 - Is the 5th least active player but always makes it count when he turns up with an average of 132.46 points per active week. Gets second spot this time out. Up a place to 11th in the Overall List.

3. Glenn Maxwell - 190 - Has had a solid ODI leg of the SL v Aus series...so solid in fact he is expected a Test recall this week. It will be his first point scored in red ball cricket since his spell with Lancashire in 2020.

4. David Warner - 168 - Is mainly in the Top 5 due to his 99 in the fourth ODI. That 'nearly-tonne' is sandwiched between scores of 9 and 10. He is up to 13th on the Overall List.

5. Travis Head - 147 - After being plucked from the A team and hooking back up with the big boys, Head has managed back-to-back top 5 places....frustratingly he has not improved his overall total and remains rooted in 18th and still has 352 points to catch up with Bairstow.

Overall Top 5

1. Simon Harmer - 2680 - Same stuff, different week. Harmer posts an OK score but manages to hold off any real pressure from below. Still has 369 points between him and second.

2. Mohammad Rizwan - 2311 - His winning week sees him back up to second spot. He has not graced the top two places for nearly 3 months but his T20 Blast performances are putting him back in the frame.

3. Glenn Maxwell - 2203 - The winner of Cricketer of the Year from 2019 is in fine form. He is in his highest position for four months and is about to pull on the Baggy Green once more.

4. Marnus Labuschagne - 2198 - Was the lowest scoring of our Australian players during this week's SL v Aus ODIs and has payed the price by moving down a place.

5. Quinton De Kock - 2108 - After holding second or first place for 6 weeks, De Kock is inactive this week and plummets to 5th place. He has a big gap between himself and 6th so he needn't worry too much...yet.

Other Movers

Despite being the lowest scorer of the week, Moeen's score of 62 sees him move up two spots to 7th thanks to inactivity around him. Matt Critchley also moves up a place to 12th.

Ones To Watch

A mere 5 points separate Aussie allrounders Glenn Maxwell and Marnus Labuschagne; with the pair about to embark on a Test series together it could be interesting to see who will prevail.

Top Three Averages

1. Simon Harmer = 178.67 (Down from 183.64)
2. Ben Stokes = 167.18
3. Babar Azam = 157.33

For the third straight week, Harmer has the biggest drop in his average....yet still holds the highest average. In a week where 5 of our Cricketers improved their average it is Rizwan who did so by the most - up 9.13 to 115.55 per active week.
