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.
