Simon Harmer - The Best Cricketer of the Week



Weekly Round-Up


In some respects, quite a boring week - but in others a stand out one.

First things first is that Simon Harmer has won Cricketer of the Week again courtesy of a score of 438 with 14 wickets in the match between Titans and Lions.

This means he now has 10 Cricketer of the Weeks this year (nobody has ever had more) and 36 in the 5 years we have been doing this. Ben Stokes with 14 is the next highest.

Out of the 20 highest weekly scores ever recorded, Simon Harmer has 6 of them.

This year alone he has got the highest ever score (659 in July) and the 11th highest ever this week.

This means that in those two weeks alone he scored only 196 points fewer than Bhanuka Rajapaksa has in the 19 weeks he has played this year.

He has scored 4306 points in red ball cricket, 2155 more than second placed Ben Stokes.

He has bagged 30% of all the wickets taken by anyone on our list, 40% of the Wicket Bonus points and 23% of the Economy points.

The man is a phenomenon.

On the more underwhelming end of the spectrum, Moeen Ali played no fewer than 6 games of T10 Cricket this week and scored a meagre 88 points across them.

He does, however, extend his total Strike Rate points to 800 - 100 clear of Glenn Maxwell.

Overall

1. Simon Harmer - 5856 - That's it as far as I am concerned. A lead of 5856 with 4 more weeks left in the year is near enough unbeatable. It's a Harmer year once more.

2. Mohammad Rizwan - 4630 - In stasis this week but will pick up points next week for the active game between Pakistan and England.

3. Moeen Ali - 3807 - A week that might kindly be called crap....however Moeen manages to move back into third place.

4. Babar Azam - 3768 - Inactive and down a spot to fourth. Will want to hare back to third for next week.

5. Quinton De Kock - 3493 - It is starting to feel that fifth might just be Quinton's natural resting place this year. 245 points off 6th and not a huge amount of cricket left in the bank.

Top Three Averages

1. Simon Harmer = 195.2 (Up from 186.83)
2. Ben Stokes = 124.86
3. Babar Azam = 129.93

One up one down from our duo this week. Harmer improves his average by 8.37.
