Pat Cummins - The Best Cricketer of the Week

 Weekly

1. Pat Cummins - 230 - Last time he topped our weekly table was all the way back in March however 7 wickets in the opening match in the series versus South Africa sees him go big. He also moves up 3 places to 13th on the overall List.

2. Babar Azam - 172 - Azam is making a good line in not doing amazingly well but still posting decent numbers. He has now been in the Top 5 for 3 weeks in the last month.

3. Hasan Ali - 144 - Nowhere near his heroics of last week but Hasan is reminding everyone that he is a decent all-rounder on his day with contributions with both bat and ball.

4. Rishabh Pant - 136 - Inactive for 3 weeks and unimpressive for longer than that - Pant put on a decent score this week and also contributed significantly with the gloves.

5. Travis Head - 132 - Scoring international runs for fun at the moment. Another big score in the First Test against South Africa sees Head finish in the Top 5 once more.

Overall

1. Simon Harmer - 5961 - Inactive again this week. he deserves a place in the Boxing Day Test as a swansong for his amazing year.

2. Mohammad Rizwan - 4781 - Rizwan has ended his year with more of a whimper than a bang but can still be assured of second place.

3. Babar Azam - 4226 - Putting up good numbers of late but left it too long to make any real dent on second place. 206 points separate him from 4th and 555 from 2nd.

4. Moeen Ali - 4020 - His race is run for 2022...would take a miracle to displace him from 4th place. he has spent more time than anyone else in that spot and has a gap of 413 points between him and 5th spot.

5. Ben Stokes - 3607 - Stokes pops into the top 5 to say hello - however is inactive for the rest of the year whilst Labuschagne, in 6th, has a whole other Test to play and only 2 points to finish the year in the Top 5.

Ones to Watch

Travis Head is in the form of his life. He is 15th as it stands but has a packed field ahead of him. With a fair wind he could finish as high as 12th.
