and before Kevin Shine began his stress fracture of the back avoidance techniques that just sucked all the pace out of pace bowlers without even remotely preventing stress fractures of the back

and he gets paid for that, too.

Amazing!

I think the big bats and short boundaries were another reason that spinners were written off. England had a dozen reasons for leaving out a spinner.

Short boundaries were a classic Peter Moores reason for leaving out a spinner.
I always say that everybody's right.

His performances are metronomic as ever. Jeetan Patel will deliver every other match. Coming off the back of his disappointing yield of just 40 points from his first game for Warwickshire against Sussex, he has now picked up over 600 points from his next two games with a week off in between. His score of 417 was a serious total that set a high bar for his IPL compatriots after he set it on Bank Holiday Monday with a match yield of 10 wickets against Derbyshire. His table topping score has seen his overall position take a massive jump, overlapping IPL Stars Virat Kohli and Kane Williamson and moving him into 4th place.

He set a high bar but Jos Buttler seemed determined to challenge him all the way down to the wire. The Rajasthan player has put in a shift for his ailing team this week with three scores over 50 - culminating in his hugely impressing 95* against Chennai that keeps his team in the playoff hunt. His weekly total of 378 would have been enough for him to come out on top in any of the last seven weeks but instead he's pipped into second by a 38 year old playing in Birmingham. His three impressive knocks puts him very much in the mix from the players chasing the top 4. He currently sits 7th - a mere 76 points off Kohli.

229 points from a week is a hugely impressive total of points for any player and Kane Williamson will be disappointed that it only puts him fourth this week but he can take some solace in the fact it is practically stratospheric compared to the two Bangalore players that he has been competing with most closely throughout this competition . The New Zealander was the victim of Kohli playing one more game than him last week but the reverse situation has yielded a much more dramatic disparity in points this week. Kohli's 89 points from his game against Williamson's Bangalore pails in comparison to the massive haul from his opposing captain. In turn, AB De Villiers would be looking on envious at Kohli's 89, scoring, as he did, a mere 5 point. That is now just 6 points from the last two weeks since the Soutn African's table topping performance in Week 17. Williamson now overtakes a number of players including Kohli to sit fifth - the leader of the chasing pack.

Often hindsight can be a wonderful thing. Joe Root entered the County Championship fray saying that he wanted to ignite his run scoring and inspire his Yorkshire and England team mates to follow suit. Cue a duck and a score of 35 runs with no further contributions with the ball or in the field and Root ends on his lowest ever score in a week where he has played. He sits bottom of the overall top ten alongside the equally flagging AB De Villiers - one good performance from the South African could push the England captain out for the first time.

Among the joys of collating these points are the fact that it throws up statistical anomalies that I would never have unmasked otherwise. First is out of form Mumbai player JP Duminy who, whilst not prolific, is certainly consistent with two successive scores of 33 points from the last four games over the last two weeks. Another is Jofra Archer's penchant for a zero. Although not known for his batting, four consecutive scores of 0 including two scores of 0* must be some kind of record.

Although the top of the table is closer than ever with just one point separating out of form Rashid Khan from rain affected Simon Harmer, the bottom of the table may have reached a familiar normality. It has taken awhile for the dust to settle on the ball tampering scandal but the foot of the table now consists of David Warner, Steve Smith and George Bailey. A situation that may remain forever thus.

Re: 2018 All Year Fantasy Competition

Simon Harmer has had a good week. Not only did he get his sixth fivefer in his last ten games; not only did he finish top of the weekly points league with almost double the points of such luminaries as AB De Villiers, Kane Williamson and Virat Kohli; not only did he get his fourth Best cricketer of the Week title and first since March but most importantly he finally managed to reel in Rashid Khan to become statistically the best cricketer of 2018 so far. He has topped this league before. Rashid Khan displaced the South African bowler half way through March and has been at the top of the table ever since - but his poor performances for Hyderabad coupled with Harmer bringing his Sunfoil Series form back to Essex has seen Harmer claim a 309 run lead on the Afghanistan spinner. With Harmer playing almost as many games as Rashid Khan over the next week we could see him further extend his lead this week.

At this point of the IPL we start to see strike rates rise as net run rate starts to play a bigger part on the overall table. We have certainly seen this play a key feature with the triumvirate of batsmen we have been paying close attention to throughout the tournament. At the start of the tournament Kohli, De Villiers and Williamson (in that order) were sat 9th, 10th and 11th. They have matched each other stroke for stroke this year and have now reversed their order and now sit in 5th, 6th and 8th. Two other players that have joined this big hitting party are Jos Buttler (7th) and Sunil Narine (3rd). These 5, plus three rather unexpected intruders, have all given at least one big hitting performance this week. Below is a table to exemplify this quick hitting trend over the last week.

Sunil Narine - 21 off 7 against Rajasthan
Sunil Narine - 75 off 36 against Punjab
Ravi Ashwin - 45 off 22 against Kolkata
AB De Villiers- 72 off 37 against Delhi
Kane Williamson - 81 off 42 against Bangalore
Jos Buttler - 94 off 53 against Mumbai
Jos Buttler - 39 off 22 against Kolkata
AB De Villiers- 69 off 39 against Hyderabad
Virat Kohli - 70 off 40 against Delhi
Virat Kohli - 48 off 28 against Punjab
Aaron Finch - 34 off 20 against Kolkata
Ravi Jadeja - 27 off 18 against Delhi

The first thing that stands out here is the fact that so many of these clattering performances are from the same games. To see one score over 20 with a strike rate 150+ in a game is rare but when times are hard these performers can grab them seemingly with ease. At the top of this table sits a double performance from Sunil Narine who has sealed his position as a devastating if not always long lasting opening batsman that can give the rest of the batting line up the chance to build off of his exploits. After two torrid weeks of poor performances and illness, AB De Villiers is back to his best with two performances way over 50 and coupled with a great strike rate. Another player back from the brink is Aaron Finch who has got three decent scores now he is back in the Punjab team one with a strike rate just over the 150 mark. Two anomalies come from Ravi Jadeja and Ravi Ashwin, two bowlers who are really struggling with wickets in this tournament but both showing they have some surprises up their sleeve with the bat.

Yorkshire and England batsman Joe Root wanted his spell in domestic cricket to set him up for his national performances - and many will fear it has done just that. Last time out for England, Root's performances with the bat were underwhelming and he would oftentimes yield more points with the ball than he would with the bat - and this is just how he has ended his spell with the White Rose. As he turns his attention to Pakistan and a return to his more familiar spot batting at three, one hopes he will reignite his year and keep his rightful place in the overall top ten.
