Babar Azam - The Best Cricketer of the Week

 



Weekly


1. Babar Azam - 211 - Babar Azam against the Netherlands was always going to be a big scoring week and so it was as the Pakistan captain gets his first Cricketer of the Week award since March.

2. Glenn Maxwell - 187 - The Big Show has been something of a no show before this week in The Hundred, but turned it on for the London Spirit with both bat and ball in their two fixtures. Up 2 places to 8th on the Overall list.

3. Mohammad Rizwan - 153 - Is having to prove some doubters wrong for the first time in his career and things looked shay after failing with the bat in the first ODI, however 69 in the second put him back on track to finish third for the week.

4. Ben Stokes - 150 - Despite the disappointing nature of his first defeat as England captain, Stokes' 40 runs and 3 wickets add up to a decent enough total to nip into the Top 5.

5. Moeen Ali - 142 - The man bloody loves a T20 tournament & will come up with the goods at least once every two or three games. Such was the case this week, where he did not do so well against the Welsh Fire but made up for it with a half century against the Trent Rockets

Overall

1. Simon Harmer - 4235 - Inactivity is no big issue when those in second place aren't scoring points. He keeps his 1179 point cushion and may very well play in the second Test against England.

2. Rishabh Pant - 3056 - A rare thing for the Indian player - an inactive week. This is only his 7th week off this year. Holds second place.

3. Mohammad Rizwan - 3025 - Despite getting the third highest score of the week, Rizwan fell 31 point short of reeling in third place. There is always next week.

4. Moeen Ali - 2969 - Making 4th spot his own. He has been there for 5 weeks now and has a 381 point gap on 5th place.

5. Babar Azam - 2588 - 2020's top scoring cricketer has been off the pace this year and has spent 13 weeks out of the Top 5 but manages to leap over the anodyne looking Bairstow and Root to pop his head in the door.

Ones To Watch

Just an 8 point gap between Bairstow and Root this week. Root was above him at the start of the week but has dropped 2 places whilst Bairstow kept 6th place. Who will challenge for the Top 5 in the second Test?

Top Three Averages

1. Simon Harmer = 211.75
2. Babar Azam = 161.75 (Up from 158.47)
3. Ben Stokes = 145.31 (Up from 145)

For the second week in a row, Kane Williamson improves his average. Last week it was by a solitary point, this week it was by 4. He still has the worst average of anybody. Matt Critchley's Hundred cameo sees him as the biggest loser; shedding 8.08 points. He now scores 132.07 every week he plays.

Moeen Ali - The Best Cricketer of the Week


 


Yet another low scoring week in what is starting to become a bit of a stagnant period of the year. 16 of our 21 players have stayed in the same position on the overall list for 3 weeks or more.


Just a Top 3 again.

Weekly

1. Moeen Ali - 102 - Whilst not in prolific form, Moeen Ali is posting decent numbers for Birmingham in The Hundred. This is the lowest top score for the week in 2022 and the third lowest ever, however.

2. Joe Root - 94 - Keeping his eye in before Eng v SA with a couple of innings in The Hundred. Was not called on for the game against the Northern Superchargers but got a decent score against Birmingham.

3. Rishabh Pant - 74 - Mr Consistent did the business again in the last T20 in the WI v Ind series. Always coming up with the goods - helps that he has played in 26 of the 32 weeks we have had in the year.

Overall

1. Simon Harmer - 4235 - Has been inactive for two weeks and has only had his lead on second place reduced by 184 runs in that time. Could be involved in the Eng v SA Test but should have a big enough lead to stay in top spot without it.

2. Rishabh Pant - 3056 - Opens up a nice little gap on third place thanks to a decent innings against the West Indies.

3. Mohammad Rizwan - 2872 - Inactive for a second week and manages to just about hold on to third place. Should be in action this week against the Netherlands - a good opportunity to become upwardly mobile once more.

4. Moeen Ali - 2827 - A few decent outings in The Hundred plus some inactivity from those that were below him last week sees Moeen open up the second biggest gap on the list between himself and fifth place.

5. Joe Root - 2512 - Some carefree performances in The Hundred sees Joe edge into the Top 5 before the more serious matter of the Eng v SA Test series

Top Three Averages

1. Simon Harmer = 211.75
2. Babar Azam = 158.47
3. Ben Stokes = 145

Lots of small dips in averages but Glenn Maxwell is the biggest small dip for the second week in a row. He is now at 120.63 points a week. Kane Williamson improves his average by 1.78 points but still has the lowest average of anyone - 47.42

Joe Root - The Best Cricketer of the Week

 



Weekly Top 5


1. Joe Root - 303 - Winning Cricketer of the Week after such an abject team performance is like winning the handsomest man in the Burns Ward but here we are. This is Root's fourth time topping the weekly charts; he has never got more than three in any other year.

2. Moeen Ali - 226 - Fans of Moeen often cite his lack of consistency on the fact he is pulled from format to format and up and down the order. This is highlighted with a Test he wasn't expected to play in before a brief return to The Hundred. Finishes second though.

3. Simon Harmer - 202 - Harmer's involvement in the RLODC finished a match too early - but it is perhaps no coincidence that Essex fell on the match where he scored his third fewest points of the campaign.

4. Jasprit Bumrah - 174 - Scored considerably fewer points in the Second Test than he did in the first but still manages a decent spot on the Weekly List.

5. Dawid Malan - 106 - Probably one of the players that benefited the most from The Hundred on our List. Ends the tournament with a fifth placed finish for the week and a call up to the Test squad. Has moved up to 8th overall.

Other Mover

Virat scored points this week....which is an improvement on the First Test. Despite not registering in the Top 5 scores of the week he manages to overtake Glenn Maxwell and move into 13th.

Overall Top 5

For the 5th week in a row the Top 5 remain the same.

1. Marnus Labuschagne 3833
2. Simon Harmer 3667
3. Joe Root 3286
4. Babar Azam 2761
5. Quinton De Kock 2540

There is some sign of that breaking up though. Marnus' lead on Simon Harmer is now just 166. Short of something unexpected we are likely to see a new leader in due time.

Quinton De Kock also needs to be looking over his shoulder. He had a poor last three games of The Hundred and only has a 85 point cushion on Moeen Ali in 6th place.

One to Watch

A name to keep an eye on next week is Nicholas Pooran. It seems a life time ago but the West Indian spent most of the first third of the year in the Top 5. With the CPL starting next week he sits in 11th spot, 22 points off Handscomb in 10th and only 176 points off Ashwin in 7th.

Highest Players by Format


Long Form - Joe Root - 2812

1. Simon Harmer - 193 (Up from 192.5)
2. Marnus Labuschagne - 191.65
3. Ravichandran Ashwin - 189.4

Joe Root's average was the biggest improvement this week as he grew by 7.83 points; up to 164.3 a week. Quinton De Kock's bad end to The Hundred saw his average drop by 2.89 to 141.11
