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.

Devon Conway - The Best Cricketer of the Week

 

Top 5 for the Week

1. Devon Conway - 340 - Devon Conway seizes the World Cup by the scruff of the neck and produces one of the all-time great opening fixture performances. It is his 4th Cricketer of the Week award this year.

2. Babar Azam - 260 - This score includes his 2 World Cup Warm Up Games but not the opening game against the Netherlands. Two decent knocks to get the Pakistan captain in good touch for the tournament proper.

3. Jos Buttler - 153 - Third place despite a disappointing opening fixture in the World Cup from a team perspective. Will be expected to make a decent impact on the tournament and out Lists over the coming weeks.

4. David Warner - 118 - Is the highest point scorer for someone who played just one game this week. Notably scored 50 points for his fielding alone.

=5. Moeen Ali = 107 = Largely here thanks to a decent friendly showing against Bangladesh - scored just 11 in the loss against New Zealand.

=5. Jonny Bairstow - 107 - A quickfire 34 against Bangladesh and a slightly slowerfire 33 against New Zealand see Jonny in joint fifth. He also overtakes Cummins again, relegating the Aussie to bottom spot.

Overall Top 5

1. Simon Harmer = 4432 - The first of an indeterminate number of inactive weeks for Simon Harmer. His lead on second is 111.

2. Jos Buttler - 4321 - Back up to 2nd after a week in 4th. Will be looking to make first spot his own during the World Cup.

3. Shakib Al Hasan - 4300 - Did not contribute with bat or ball in the two Warm up games and subsequently is down to 3rd spot. This is his lowest placing for 11 weeks.

4. Shubman Gill - 4184 - Inactive this week and potentially out of the opening World cup game with flu....the 540 point cushion he has on 5th should be enough for him not to worry too much on his sick bed.

5. Devon Conway - 3644 - The New Zealand opener spent a completely extraordinary 15 weeks in eighth. This week he went stratospheric against England and jumped up to 5th place. Only 30 points separate himself and Sam Curran.

Ones To Watch

You couldn't write it. The smallest gap is between Jos Buttler and Shakib Al Hasan who captain their countries against each other in the World Cup this Thursday.
