Moeen Ali - The Best Cricketer of the Week


 


Yet another low scoring week in what is starting to become a bit of a stagnant period of the year. 16 of our 21 players have stayed in the same position on the overall list for 3 weeks or more.


Just a Top 3 again.

Weekly

1. Moeen Ali - 102 - Whilst not in prolific form, Moeen Ali is posting decent numbers for Birmingham in The Hundred. This is the lowest top score for the week in 2022 and the third lowest ever, however.

2. Joe Root - 94 - Keeping his eye in before Eng v SA with a couple of innings in The Hundred. Was not called on for the game against the Northern Superchargers but got a decent score against Birmingham.

3. Rishabh Pant - 74 - Mr Consistent did the business again in the last T20 in the WI v Ind series. Always coming up with the goods - helps that he has played in 26 of the 32 weeks we have had in the year.

Overall

1. Simon Harmer - 4235 - Has been inactive for two weeks and has only had his lead on second place reduced by 184 runs in that time. Could be involved in the Eng v SA Test but should have a big enough lead to stay in top spot without it.

2. Rishabh Pant - 3056 - Opens up a nice little gap on third place thanks to a decent innings against the West Indies.

3. Mohammad Rizwan - 2872 - Inactive for a second week and manages to just about hold on to third place. Should be in action this week against the Netherlands - a good opportunity to become upwardly mobile once more.

4. Moeen Ali - 2827 - A few decent outings in The Hundred plus some inactivity from those that were below him last week sees Moeen open up the second biggest gap on the list between himself and fifth place.

5. Joe Root - 2512 - Some carefree performances in The Hundred sees Joe edge into the Top 5 before the more serious matter of the Eng v SA Test series

Top Three Averages

1. Simon Harmer = 211.75
2. Babar Azam = 158.47
3. Ben Stokes = 145
