2022 All Year Fantasy Competition

[Red Devil]

Agreed on Babar - I feel like he's letting me down at the moment and probably not scoring enough to make up for later in the year when he's not playing.

Maxwell skipping the Pakistan series and the start of the IPL to get married doesn't help either!

[The Professor]

Weekly Top 3

1. Mohammad Rizwan - 204 - Has been in such strong form during PSL 2020 and has the final still to play. He is the last man standing of our three PSL players and has scored 359 points more than anyone else.

2. Quinton De Kock - 187 - A return to a lower ranked T20 competition will always pad out your scores and QDK has done that with his run to the CSA T20 Challenge final. This is his third successive top 5 finish.

3. Kyle Jamieson - 125 - Two wickets is not a prolific haul for the New Zealander from the first NZ v SA Test - however it is enough to sneak him into the Top 3 in this meagre week.

Overall Top 5

1. Mohammad Rizwan - 962 - Rizwan becomes the sixth person to take first place on our overall list. The last two people (Pant and Moeen) only managed it for a single week; can he double up?

2. Moeen Ali - 944 - Inactive this week and down a place to second.

3. Quinton De Kock - 891 - Three successive weeks of three figure scores has finally seen De Kock up from 5th place to third as the CSA T20 Challenge comes to a close.

4. Glenn Maxwell - 821 - Played in two formats for the first time since 2020 this week, however it was not enough to see him drop down a place to fourth.

5. Risabh Pant - 730 - Was inactive for only the second time this year but has tumbled to his lowest ever position.

Other Mover

Despite the second lowest score of the week, Hasan Ali made the biggest move up the table. His 86 points was enough to overtake our trio of England players and Moeen Ali and move him into 13th.

Ones to Watch

The forthcoming Pak v Aus series has some tantalising battles. Babar Azam is 127 points off the top 5 with Kyle Jamieson, in action against South Africa, 19 points below him. Pat Cummins is 19 points off Simon Harmer in 8th whilst there is yet another 19 point gap between Steve Smith and Hasan Ali. Finally Labuschagne is 11 points off the Top 10.

Top 3 Averages

1. Simon Harmer = 263
2. Mohammad Rizwan= 192.4 (Up from 189.5)
3. Moeen Ali = 188.8

Hasan Ali's poor PSL followed by an all rightish performance versus Peshawar Zalmi sees his average improve by 8.58 - but, at 60.25 he has the second worst average on the list. His fellow countryman Babar Azam showed the biggest decrease in his average. Down 16.15 to 120.6 points a week.

Weekly Round Up

Whilst a plethora of our cricketers are mid-Test match, we only have three cricketers who have registered completed games this week.

In third place sees Quinton De Kock register just 29 points from his final CSA T20 Challenge Game. In normal times this total would have not seen him make a Top 3….however here we are with a Just 3.
Rizwan is another player who disappointed in a final. He was registering an average of 87.45 points per game throughout the tournament – but ended up with just 34 in the final.

In top spot is Kyle Jamieson who wins Cricketer of the Week for the second time in 2022. He did not set the world alight in New Zealand’s series against South Africa but sits on top of the list again. His two totals (165 this week and 106 in Week 1) are the lowest winning totals of the year so far.

Overall List

1. Mohammad Rizwan – 995 – Narrowly stretched his lead at the top despite his meagre PSL finals day.

2. Moeen Ali – 944 – Stays second thanks to Quinton De Kock’s flaccid CSA T20 Challenge final performance.

3. Quinton De Kock – 920 – Would have been disappointed not to have grabbed second spot but holds third for a second week.

4. Glenn Maxwell – 821 – Inactive this week but manages to hold off any challengers. Needs to watch his back in coming weeks.

5. Kyle Jamieson – 749 – Back in the Top 5 after a month away, despite some surprisingly anodyne performances vs South Africa.

Top 3 Averages

1. Simon Harmer = 263
2. Moeen Ali = 188.8
3. Mohammad Rizwan= 165.83 (Down from 26.57)

One huge tumble this week, coupled with an incremental improvement. Rizwan’s finale flop sees his average drop by 26.57 – such was his good form previous to this, however, that he is still in the Top 3 overall. Jamieson goes up by 3.8 points to 149.8.

[Durhamfootman]

the big blooming to$$er

That's my challenge over before it even starts

what a **********

[Arthur Crabtree]

Are you alright!?

[Durhamfootman]

I opted to go for Travis Head rather than rebid for the bananaman because he had a season long CC gig (as captain, so a really safe decision) and Siddle didn't. Now Siddle has a gig and Head has decided to scrap his and put his feet up for the summer...... the big soft pudding!

[Arthur Crabtree]

You've got Harmer though... You could have Kane Williamson twice for your back up and it wouldn't matter.

[Arthur Crabtree]

If my memory is holding up, one year I had George Bailey who then decided to retire.

[The Professor]

:Nooooo

the big blooming to$$er

That's my challenge over before it even starts

what a **********

Don't. Even. Start.

[The Professor]

If my memory is holding up, one year I had George Bailey who then decided to retire.

It serves you half well. You did have it. Him did finish bottom. But he saw out the BBL season that year. Got you 182 points in December.

[The Professor]

An awful lot of Test Cricket this week and an awful lot of chopping and changing.

Weekly Top 5

1. Simon Harmer - 316 - Has featured in 3 weeks of cricket this year and has been the top point scorer in two of them. The man is a machine.

2. Marnus Labuschagne- 190 - Marnus was never outside the Top 3 during 2021; so far this year he has only spent 2 weeks in the Top 10 and has never breached the Top 5. A decent first Test sees him finish second for the week and move up a place to 10th.

3. Risabh Pant - 166 - Another destructive performance for Pant sees him lurch back up the table again and finish in the Top 5 for the week once more.

4. Joe Root - 154 - Not a lot of cricket to judge Root on this year but a decent score in the warm up game before WI v Eng sees him jump up a huge 5 places to 12th.

5. Jonny Bairstow - 136 - Jonny has only played two weeks of cricket this year but has registered three figure scores in both. Expect this trend to continue.

Overall Top 5

1. Mohammad Rizwan - 1044 - Rizwan struggled with the transition to Test Cricket and got the second to lowest score for the week. Was still enough to see him as the first player to score 1000 points for the year.

2. Moeen Ali - 944 - Inactive for the third successive week but such was his BPL form he has nothing to worry about this week.

3. Quinton De Kock - 920 - Inactive this week but just about holds off the charge from below.

4. Rishabh Pant - 904 - His batting display in IND vs SL has seen him back in the Top 5 once more. He has now occupied all of the Top 6 places in the first 10 weeks.

5. Simon Harmer - 842 - Another big haul sees Harmer halt his drift downwards and reassert himself back in the Top 5. The County Championship beckons where these big scores may well become the norm for the Saffer.

Other Significant Mover

Steve Smith was back in form in Australia's draw against Pakistan. This was enough to see him up a place to 11th.

Ones to Watch

The bottom half of the table has everything to play for. There is 57 points between Steve Smith in 11th and Travis Head in 15th. With Root, Bairstow and Stokes in between them we have a mini-Ashes battle playing out over two continents.

Top 3 Averages

1. Simon Harmer = 280.67 (Up from 263)
2. Moeen Ali = 188.8
3. Jonny Bairstow - 165

Marnus Labuschagne is the biggest achiever this week. He swells his average by 23.3 points and is now on 96.8. Rizwan's transition from T20s to Test has not served him well. He is down 16.69 points to 149.14. He is now out of the Top 3 highest averages and into 6th.
