Hasan Ali - The Best Cricketer of the Week

 

Weekly

1. Hasan Ali - 400 - Has had a very interesting 2022. Has been largely anonymous for a majority of the year and then pops up with huge scores - this week courtesy of all round prowess in the Pakistan Cup. This is his 4th Cricketer of the Week award - only Harmer has more. Is up 2 places to 10th.

2. Travis Head - 273 - Two great Tests on the trot for Head who scores his second consecutive 200+ score. Moves above his international captain Pat Cummins into 15th place on the Overall List.

3. Marnus Labuschagne - 264 - 2021's Cricketer of the Year is probably in the form of his life in international colours and finds himself near the top of the List for the Week once more.

4. Joe Root - 159 - A similar story to last week. Not a huge yield of runs this week but backs it up with wicket and economy points. Despite the fourth highest score of the week, Root manages to move DOWN a place overall.

5. Babar Azam - 106 - Babar continued his trend of bagging one big score coupled with one single figure score - this time his big score wasn't quite as big. Pips Simon Harmer to the Top 5 by a solitary point.

Overall

1. Simon Harmer - 5961 - Scored just over 100 points in a warm up game for South Africa but it will do as the 2022 Cricketer of the Year enjoys his 1000 point cushion in the run in.

2. Mohammad Rizwan - 4755 - Only the 50 points for Rizwan this week but such is the gap between himself and third that we can hand him the silver medal now.

3. Babar Azam - 4054 - It took him slightly longer than expected but Babar Azam is back up into third spot courtesy of his impressive form in the Pak v Eng series. Can he hold out for a Top 3 spot at the end of the year?

4. Moeen Ali - 4020 - Inactive this week and down a place to 4th. As far as I can see, Moeen is not scheduled to play anymore cricket this year. Can he finish in the Top 5 with his 500 point gap over 6th.

5. Marnus Labuschagne - 3589 - Last graced the Top 5 20 weeks ago and puts himself in the mix once more. Interestingly, 3 of the 4 previous Cricketer of the Year winners are now in the current Top 5. Only Maxwell is missing for the full set.

Ones to Watch

Ben Stokes is the man to watch as we head into the Final Test. He has just 7 points between him and inactive Quinton De Kock and then a further 103 to get into the Top 5.

Top Three Averages

1. Simon Harmer = 192.29 (Down from 195.2)
2. Ben Stokes = 134.08 (Down from 135.8)
3. Babar Azam = 130.77 (Down from 131.6)

Hasan Ali's average takes a huge pump of 11.01 points thanks to his huge score. KL Rahul's score of just 8 sees his average descend to 93.39,
