Travis Head - The Best Cricketer of the Week

 

A lot of movement this week after a long period of rigidity....who has done well?

Weekly

1. Travis Head - 231 - The rebirth of Travis Head gives him his second Cricketer of the Week Award for 2022 and his third of all time. Really does look in fine form as an opener and had a record-breaking week alongside David Warner.

=2. Kane Williamson = 225 = Seems to be awakening from his malaise towards the end of the year. Two matches in two different disciplines with two half century scores sees him joint second for the week. Up a place to 20th overall.

=2. Simon Harmer = 225 - Back in the wickets in long from cricket, just as God intended. A fourfer against Knights was the highlight of his week.

4. David Warner - 172 - His second week in the Top 5 in a row. Loving life at the moment and moves up two places to 12th courtesy of a century stand in the final ODI against England.

5. Steve Smith - 165 - Nearly 300 points from three games is not to be sniffed at....especially considering Smith's form so far this year. His last innings let him down a bit and he just squeaks into the Top 5 this week.

Overall

1. Simon Harmer - 5418 - You would think Cricketer of the Year would have to be his this year. His lead is now back up to 798 - the highest it has been in 2 months.

2. Mohammad Rizwan - 4620 - Inactive this week as he girds his loins for the Test series against England.

3. Babar Azam - 3768 - Bit of danger from below for the inactive Pakistan captain but he manages to hold onto third place for the fourth week.

4. Moeen Ali – 3719 – Manages just 79 points across three games in two continents. Is crawling towards third place rather than sprinting.

5. Quinton De Kock – 3493 – Inactive for a month now but has zero pressure from below so holds 5th for the 7th week.

Other Movers

Hasan Ali moves up two places to 10th; his highest spot for the year.

Rishabh Pant takes advantage of Glenn Maxwell’s misfortune to move up to 6th despite 92 points this week.

Top Three Averages

1. Simon Harmer = 186.83 (Up from 185.46)
2. Ben Stokes = 124.86
3. Babar Azam = 129.93

Joe Root used to go to town in warm up matches....but only managed 9 this week to see his average fall by 5.33 points to 120.77 a week. Kane Williamon swells his average by 7.48 to 75.33.
