Simon Harmer - The Best Cricketer of the Week




 Weekly


1. Simon Harmer - 257 - Harmer ends his County Championship season with his eight Cricketer of the Week award. He has never won more. Has had a quieter season (by comparison) but still is the man to beat.

2. Mohammad Rizwan - 231 - His impressive form has been so impressive that he can miss out a T20 game and still finish second courtesy of two half centuries. Has been a great start to the last third of the year for the Pakistan wicket keeper.

3. Babar Azam - 192 - More inconsistent than he would like but always provides one big score to boost him up into the Top 5. This week it was the 87* out in the 6th T20 against England.

4. Moeen Ali - 160 - Another week where he features in the Top 5....but that is rather through weight of games played than any huge amount of excellence from the England stand-in captain. His half century in the 5th T20 is his high point.

5. KL Rahul - Sneaks into the Top 5 this week with a long gap between him and fourth place. Second time he's made 5th spot in a row though.

Overall

1. Simon Harmer - 4778 -No news if he is going to play domestically in South Africa yet and his lead is 'just' 835 with the T20 World Cup on the horizon. All this being said, 19 weeks in first position is mightily impressive.

2. Mohammad Rizwan - 3943 - Keeps scoring big and putting pressure on first place - now has a huge gap of 494 points on third spot.

3, Moeen Ali - 3449 - Retains third spot for the 5th week on the trot. Quietly grinding away 100+ scores week after week after week.

4. Babar Azam - 3238 - Up a place to 4th - his highest position for 20 weeks. Can he continue to push his agenda in amongst a cluster of players who will all be featuring in the T20 World Cup?

5. Rishabh Pant - 3131 - Had a sub-par Asia Cup and then has struggled ever since. The last 4 weeks has seen him inactive once, scoring 0 twice and a mere 10 points this week sees him drop down to 5th; his lowest position in 3 months.

Other Movers

Just the 20 points for Pat Cummins this week...but he was 19 points behind David Warner and is subsequently up a spot to 13th.

1. Simon Harmer = 207.74 (Up from 205.5)
2. Ben Stokes = 151.33
3. Babar Azam = 147.18 (Up from 145.05)

Mohammad Rizwan's good form sees his stock continue to rise. He now has the fourth best points per week of any of our players - 131.43. Steve Smith's meagre week sees his averagr frop by 6.23 points - down to 93.44.
