2023 All Year Fantasy Competition

[The Professor]

That was my fault - I didn't put Bairstorw's Hundred points on - most likely because I didn't think he'd feature and only clocked it late on.

[Arthur Crabtree]

Sorted.

[The Professor]

Top 5 for the Week

1. Jos Buttler - 230 - His points had been gradually declining throughout The Hundred but was back in a big way this week; with 120 runs across two games. This is his third Cricketer of the Week performance making 2023 the best of his three years on our Lists.

2. Harry Brook - 187 - Scored his obligatory century in each Short Format franchise competition he plays in and gets second place. If it wasn't for the flop against Manchester he could have bagged his first Cricketer of the Week.

3. Jonny Bairstow - 124 - Had two awful games last week and scored 3 points. This week he performed 4100% better and finished third.

4. Devon Conway - 120 - Is rather enjoying his time at The Rose Bowl. He has scored triple figure point scores in back to back weeks this week and finishes fourth once more.

5. Moeen Ali - 116 - Back in the points again and, inexplicably, still creeping up the Overall Table. Despite having the second worst average points per active week (86.73) He is now up to 11th place. Having only missed 8 weeks of cricket also helps.

Overall Top 5

1. Shakib Al Hasan - 3867 - Despite scoring the lowest score of any active player this week (47) Shakib manages to extend his lead in first to 135. He has one Asia Cup game against Sri Lanka before next week's deadline to extend that lead.

2. Simon Harmer - 3732 - Inactive this week and will be inactive next week due to Essex's elimination from the Metro Bank One Day Cup. He has a 296 point lead on third place; will that be enough?

3. Jos Buttler - 3436 - His weekly high score sees him to his highest Overall placement in a month. Is guaranteed at least 1 (maybe 2 games) over the next week.

4. Shubman Gill - 3424 - Down one place to fourth. Inactive this week and will also be inactive next week before having two games the week after. With just 164 points off him and 5th spot he may descend further down the overall list.

5. Sam Curran - 3260 - Such are the ups and downs of cricket that Sam Curran scored the highest weekly total last week and then got the lowest one this week. It sees him drop a place overall to 5th.

Other Mover

Rashid Khan finished 6th this week and also moved up to 6th overall courtesy of the two lost ODIs to Pakistan.

Top 3 Averages

1. Shakib Al Hasan - 175.77 (Down from 181.9)
2. Simon Harmer - 169.63
3. Ravindra Jadeja - 165

Shakib Al Hasan's average topples by 6.13 but he still remains comfortably first for the year. Harry Brook's average gets a 4.43 boost thanks to that century vs the Welsh Fire.

Weekly Top 5

1. Babar Azam - 291 - A big score against Afghanistan and a huge score against Nepal sees Azam get his fourth Cricketer of the Week award. He is now in second place of all time COTWs with 15 in his 4 years on the List.

2. Jos Buttler - 203 - Started the week incredibly strongly....and got incrementally lower scores as the week went on. Still a very decent weekly score.

3. Devon Conway - 94 - Got a decent score in the unsuccessful Eliminator of The Hundred and then failed to show up in the first T20I against England. A very low third place score this week.

4. Harry Brook - 94 - Started his T20I series against New Zealand well with a score of 43* at a decent lick. Has three more bites of that particular cherry before next week's update.

5. Shakib Al Hasan - 75 - A quiet Asia Cup debut for the (kinda) new Bangladesh captain. just pops head into Top 5 in a week where a modest score saw you finish in the Top half of the Weekly List.

Overall Top 5

1. Shakib Al Hasan - 3942 - Is scoring modestly over the last few weeks ( 67, 221, 47, 75) but is taking advantage of Harmer's inactivity to open a lead on second. He now has 210 points between him and the silver medal.

2. Simon Harmer - 3732 - His final week of inactivity before he returns to his beloved County Championship action. A good week will see him back into first place.

3. Jos Buttler - 3639 - despite a 200+ score he just narrows the gap to 2nd place. It is now a mere 93 points with two T20Is vs New Zealand for Buttler to get his teeth in to.

4. Shubman Gill - 3424 - His two weeks off has only seen him drop from 3rd to 4th. He should have played at least 2 Asia Cup games between now and next week's update but 214 points to 3rd place is a big leap.

5. Sam Curran - 3310 - S. Curran was so impressive in the middle patch of The Hundred (but then tailed away at the business end with scores of 48 last week and 50 this week - including the first T20I against New Zealand. Has a gap of 68 on Rashid Khan in 6th.

Top 3 Averages

1. Shakib Al Hasan - 171.39 (Down from 175.77)
2. Simon Harmer - 169.63
3. Ravindra Jadeja - 165

Babar Azam's highest scoring week sees his average up to the most - up 8.1 points 145.16. Jonny Bairstow's fluctuating form sees his average tumble back down to 91.92 - a decrease of 7.99.

I need Harmer back in the game

cheers Prof

[The Professor]

Busy one this week as all but 4 of our 20 players in action.

Weekly Top 5

1. Simon Harmer - 276 - Back in red ball action again this week and back at the top of the table. Only one wicket in his first innings but a fivefer gave him 130 points to bag his 5th Cricketer of the Week award - nobody has more.

2. Shakib Al Hasan - 175 - Another good week for Shakib and another 3 Asia Cup games to come. His 53 against Pakistan was the highlight of the week.

3. Rashid Khan - 171 - Rashid hasn't been too prolific with this bat but produced two impactful scores of 20+ this week which bolstered the fact he only got two wickets. Despite that his Asia Cup is now done. Seemingly no cricket for him until the World Cup warm-ups.

4. Jos Buttler - 143 - Buttler's the recipient of the 'One Good Performance Award' this week. 40 in the final T20I almost single handedly gets him in the top 5.

5. Jonny Bairstow - 135 - Bairstow's pattern of good week-bad week continues. His last month has seen him with weekly scores of 3, then 124, then 4 and now 135 and a place in the Top 5.

Overall Top 5

1. Shakib Al Hasan - 4117 - Finished second to Harmer for the week but manages to hold on to first nonetheless. Elimination from the Asia Cup would have seen him lose top spot but the battle still rages on. he has now equalled Gill's record of 15 weeks at number 1.

2. Simon Harmer - 4008 - Top of the pops for the week but still cannot add to his solitary week at the top of the overall table. Has an inactive week next week.

3. Jos Buttler - 3782 - Three weeks in the Top 3. Lots of cricket on the horizon. No real pressure from below. Lovely stuff from Jos.

4. Shubman Gill - 3531 - A reasonably modest score from Gill this week but manages to hold 4th place for the third week in a row.

5. Rashid Khan - 3413 - A month out of the Top 5 but Rashid is back. last time he only stayed for a week and you would suspect his tenancy will be shortlived once more with no cricket on the horizon for him and Curran 58 points behind.

Ones To Watch

Moeen Ali should overtake Suryakumar Yadav this week unless SKY turns out for India in the Asia Cup. Cam Green should also be on th emove should he shake off his concussion.

[Durhamfootman]

One of RK's 2 wickets was a c&b in the last match, so I'm hoping for 10 more points, Prof. This one feels like it's opening right up for Red, so I need every point I can get

Good to see SRH back in the points.... just 2 games left for him, unless he gets a WC call up for SA or a domestic gig for Warriors

cheers Prof

[The Professor]

Disregard last update.....missed out a whole match for three of the England boys

Busy one this week as all but 4 of our 20 players in action.

Weekly Top 5

1. Simon Harmer - 276 - Back in red ball action again this week and back at the top of the table. Only one wicket in his first innings but a fivefer gave him 130 points to bag his 5th Cricketer of the Week award - nobody has more.

2. Jonny Bairstow - 269- Bairstow's pattern of good week-bad week continues. His last month has seen him with weekly scores of 3, then 124, then 4 and now 269 for his highest placing of the year.

3. Shakib Al Hasan - 175 - Another good week for Shakib and another 3 Asia Cup games to come. His 53 against Pakistan was the highlight of the week.

4. Rashid Khan - 171 - Rashid hasn't been too prolific with this bat but produced two impactful scores of 20+ this week which bolstered the fact he only got two wickets. Despite that his Asia Cup is now done. Seemingly no cricket for him until the World Cup warm-ups.

5. Harry Brook - 149 - This weeks 'One good Performance Gets You In The Top 5' nominee. Started the week well....got into the ODI World Cup squad....then done rather poorer.



Overall Top 5

1. Shakib Al Hasan - 4117 - Finished second to Harmer for the week but manages to hold on to first nonetheless. Elimination from the Asia Cup would have seen him lose top spot but the battle still rages on. he has now equalled Gill's record of 15 weeks at number 1.

Ones To Watch

Cam Green should also be on the move should he shake off his concussion.

Other Movers

Moeen goes up another spot to 10th despire another set of underwhelming scores. Bairstow is also off bottom spot in a heart warming moment for people who break legs playing golf.

Top 3 Averages

1. Simon Harmer - 174.26 (Up from 169.64)
2. Shakib Al Hasan - 171.54 (Up from 171.39)
3. Ravindra Jadeja - 162. 25 (Down from 165)

Last week Azam achieved the biggest gain in average whilst Bairstow experienced the biggest drop. This was reversed this week with Azam down 6.41 to 138.75 with Bairstow up 13 to 104.92.

Will add this too......blame first week back at school fatigue

No raac holidays, Prof?

[The Professor]

I've been going around slamming into walls for a week or two off....no luck

[Arthur Crabtree]

Bairstow is off the bottom of the table.

Seems reasonable to celebrate with a couple of beers.

[The Professor]

Seems like Cummins is the player this year that's going to be massively disrailed......well him and Pant
