David Warner - The Best Cricketer of the Week

 

Weekly Top 5

1. David Warner - 387 - Two stellar performances sees David Warner get his first Cricketer of the Week since last Summer. With him very unlikely to carry on into 2024 this might be the last time we see him atop our List...unless he continues to pull off miracles in CWC23

2. Marco Jansen - 236 - Is really marking himself out as a top class all rounder. Performed with both bat and ball in his two World Cup games this week and will feel hard done by to have only finished second. He moves up a place to 10th on the Overall List though.

3. Babar Azam - 132 - One decent performance and one average performance always gets you third place. He will have another two games for his weekly total this week but has now held 9th place for 3 months.

4. Pat Cummins - 118 - back playing regularly and therefore back to being a regular Top 5 entry. He has managed to move up a place on the Overall List for the second successive week. 17th is his highest placing since the middle of April.

5. Jonny Bairstow - 70 - It has been a low scoring week this week with the average points per active player at just 80. Bairstow very much takes the 'Best of the Rest; accolade....much helped by the fact he has played two games. Won't play many more though.

Overall Top 5

1. Shakib Al Hasan - 4546 - Back in action this week but his lead of 76 last week has been slashed to just 33 this week. None of our Top 5 are in amazing form this World Cup but one good performance could turn it.

2. Jos Buttler - 4513 - Is not taking the World Cup by the scruff of the neck BUT is 33 points off top spot and averaging 53 points per game so......

3. Simon Harmer - 4432 - Missing. One blonde spinner. Last seen in Northampton 4 weeks ago. May be seen soon in South Africa. Keep your eyes peeled.

4. Shubman Gill - 4359 - Only registered 46 points this week but is under zero pressure from 5th place will be looking to move up soon though.

5. Ravindra Jadeja - 3906 - Another week in his most favoured position on 5th. Is lucky that Conway performed so badly this week. He has extended his lead on 6th place to 95 points.

Ones To Watch

The closest cricketers to each other is the resurgent David Warner in 11th who is 16 points ahead of the descending Moeen Ali.

Top 3 Averages

1. Simon Harmer - 184.67
2. Shakib Al Hasan - 156.76 (Down from 161.61)
3. Shubman Gill - 150.31 (Down from 154.64)

Another week where all but 3 players' averages deteriorated. Shakib's was the worst - however he keeps his top 3 berth. David Warner improves the most thanks to his mammoth week - up 10.91 to 103.33.

Rashid Khan - The Best Cricketer of the Week

 

Weekly Top 5

1. Rashid Khan - 211 - Rashid has underperformed this year. He has played in 34 of the 42 weeks and has only been Cricketer of the Week once and his 7th place total is much lower than you'd expect - however that performance versus England will be one his all time best.

2. Ravindra Jadeja - 150 - Can never go too long without a big total and was back in form this week with two semi identical scores in the World Cup.

3. Shubman Gill - 129 - Had a below average game in his first match back from illness but bagged an effortless half century against Bangladesh to be back in the Top 5 once more.

4. Harry Brook - 106 - Just pops into triple figure scores with one of the few competent performances in that disappointing loss to Afghanistan. England need more of the same.

5. Marco Jansen - 89 - 80 is a very low score to be in the weekly Top 5 but a fairly comfortable bowling performance in the shock loss to the Netherlands manages to see him in the Top 5.

Overall Top 5

1. Shakib Al Hasan - 4525 - An inactive week courtesy of a quad injury - he is expected to return to the team at some point during the World Cup but has second place breathing down his neck.

2. Jos Buttler - 4470 - Always gets to the cusp or retaking first place....and then has a stinker of a week. I would expect him to be number one this time next week, though.

3. Simon Harmer - 4432 - Still not surfaced in South African domestic cricket but still is only 93 points away from first and 595 points away from fifth so he can afford to have his little break.

4. Shubman Gill - 4313 - The 476 points between him and fifth place is now the largest gap between any cricketers on our List. You would imagine he will be in the Top 5 come the end of the year.

5. Ravindra Jadeja - 3837 - Back in the Top 5 again after a fortnight away. Fifth place is the most fluid position on our List - 4 players have held 5th place in the last 2 months with nobody spending longer than a fortnight there.

Other Movers

Pat Cummins is back up off the bottom spot thanks to Jonny Bairstow's poor showing against Afghanistan.

Top 3 Averages

1. Simon Harmer - 184.67
2. Shakib Al Hasan - 161.61
3. Shubman Gill - 154.64 (Down from 154.96)

All active players this week took a knock to their average with the exception of Rashid Khan and Harry Brook. Despite this Brook's 88.45 is the lowest average points per week of any of our 19 players.

Shakib Al Hasan - The Best Cricketer of the Week

 

Despite the delayed nature of the update the cut off was still Friday evening - this basically means the India v Pakistan game rolls over until next.

Weekly Top 5

1. Shakib Al Hasan - 215 - Shakib managed to fit 3 World Cup games into this week and performed well in two of those to finish the week with the highest score. Only Harmer has more Cricketers of the Week awards.

2. Marco Jansen - 148 - 4 wickets split equally across 2 World Cup games plus a few bonus points from Strike rate and Fielding means he finishes in second place. Also moves into 11th place overall.

3. Ravindra Jadeja - 130 - One perfect World Cup game for Jadeja this week...followed by a more average one sees him finish in the bronze medal place. He moves up a place into 6th overall.

4. Devon Conway - 117 - Failed to live up to his stonking first outing in the World Cup but still putting in decent shifts.

5. Jos Buttler - 100 - A blistering 20 followed by three catches with the gloves. One of those very impactful T20 performances that doesn't really transfer to an impactful amount of points.

Overall

1. Shakib Al Hasan - 4525 - Back up to top spot after a fortnight away...however fans will be concerned after he was taken away for scans after the New Zealand game. That lead doesn't look comfortable.

2. Simon Harmer - 4432 - Uncertain if or when Harmer will start up in South African cricket but he is beginning to slide. Third is catching up with him but there is an eye-watering 745 points between him and 6th spot.

3. Jos Buttler - 4421 - Despite finishing in the weekly Top 5, Buttler moved DOWN this week. THis should not be for long, you would imagine.

4. Shubman Gill - 4184 - Struck down with illness for the first two World Cup games. No pressure from below and on his way back to fitness. Should retain fourth for a while and could move up with a return to form.

5. Devon Conway - 3761 - Holds on to his Top 4 spot for the second week but has Conway, Jadeja and Curran breathing down his neck. The gap between him and 4th spot is nearing half a thousand points.

Ones To Watch

A decent Jos Buttler could finish the week anywhere between 4th and first this week.

Top 3 Averages

1. Simon Harmer - 184.67
2. Shakib Al Hasan - 161.61 (Up from 159.26)
3. Shubman Gill - 154.96

David Warner improves his average again. Over the last week he has crawled from bottom spot to being on the verge of three figures per active week. Usman Khawaja's poor domestic form sees his average continue to descend.
