2023 All Year Fantasy Competition

[Durhamfootman]

Double bubble for Harmer this week

[Durhamfootman]

disappointing match for RK yesterday, but at least his team march on, so more opportunities perhaps

[The Professor]

A HUGELY busy week with all players except Rishabh Pant (obvs), Sam Curran and Jos Buttler playing....and A LOT Of movement too.

Weekly List

1. Simon Harmer - 533 - Completes two County Championship games which helps boost his score - but he performed very well in the pair of them. This marks the third highest weekly score ever; meaning that Harmer has 2 of the Top 3 highest scores registered.

2. Shakib Al Hasan - 332 - As predicted, Shakib is doing rather well in the Global T20 Canda league. In two thirds of the weeks we have had this year, this would have been a winning total but Shakib will have to accept second.

3. Ravindra Jadeja - 287 - Triple figure scores from his Test outing and his ODI match means that Jadeja gives himself a healthy bump to his total this week. This third place finish for the week would have been enough for Jadeja to have won in 18 weeks of this year.

4. Jonny Bairstow - 219 - By some distance, Bairstow's highest score of the year so far....and what a bittersweet points total it is for the man who has had something of a turbulent Ashes series.

5. Marco Jansen - 175 - Jansen is doing what you do in a Franchise T20 tournament. Turning up, playing decently in a large number of games and boosting your total. Accordingly, finishes in the top 5 in back-to-back weeks for the first time.

Overall

1. Simon Harmer - 3453 - It has taken 30 weeks but Harmer is back in top spot. Strange what half a thousand points can do for you. That being said, his lead on second place isn't hugely comfortable as he goes into the One Day Cup.

2. Shakib Al Hasan - 3339 - Amongst all the chaos (and despite his own massive score) Shakib is the only member of the Top 5 to retain his place this week. Has a bit of a lead on second place again so should be looking up not down.

3. Shubman Gill - 3093 - His lean spell has finally caught up with him as he loses his nine week long control of top spot and plummets down to third place.

4. Ravindra Jadeja - 3077 - Had drifted out of the Top 5 for a month but is back with a bang. He skips his most favoured position of 5th to return back in 4th place.

5. Jos Buttler - 2976 - Inactive again this week and is in danger of leaving the Top 5 for the first time since the third week of January.

Other Movers

Harry Brook's decent last two Ashes Tests have seen him move up a place to 15th.

Ones To Watch

Harry Brook and Usman Khawaja have 1 point between them as they approach the end of the final Ashes Test. Who will prevail? You expect there is more for Usman to lose in this one than Harry.

Top 3 Averages

1. Shakib Al Hasan - 185.5 (Up from 176.88)
2. Simon Harmer - 172.65 (Up from 153.68)
3. Ravindra Jadeja - 170.94 (Up from 164.1)

Simon Harmer's humungous score improves his average by nearly 19 points and move shim into second place overall. Pat Cummins' bad day at the office sees him drop out of the Top 3 due to losing 16.3 points from his average.

cheers Prof

Jonny Blameless on the board!

[Durhamfootman]

RK pulls out of the Folly

crapinfo calls it a major blow to the tournament, but he was only going to play 3 matches anyway as I understand it

A good Final in the states to boost his score for this week

[The Professor]

Weekly Top 5

1. Hardik Pandya - 196 - Injury has hampered Hardik this year but ever now and then you get a glimpse of him at his best. This week it was in one of his three games against the West Indies where he got 70*. It is his second Cricketer of the Week accolade this year.

2. Shakib Al Hasan - 193 - Last week he was playing for Montreal in the Global T20 Canada league, he has seemingly dumped them to go and play for Galle in the LPL. Has started very well with 53 runs and three wickets in his opening two games.

3. Moeen Ali - 173 - This was his highest score in any of the Ashes Tests. Not expecting to play Test Cricket 6 weeks ago he now has more Test Match points than Devon Conway, David Warner, Shubman Gill, Marco Jansen, Babar Azam, Shakib Al Hasan & Suryakumar Yadav.

=4. Jonny Baistow - 172 - When Bairstow plays well England win. That may very well be a coincidence but worked himself into form at the same time as England began to look ascendant.

=4. Shubman Gill - 172 - 2 months ago, Gill looked a world beater in all formats...then he has fallen away. This week he sorted out his ODI form which has seen him pop back into the Weekly Top 5 once more.

Overall Top 5

1. Shakib Al Hasan - 3532 - Lost his top place spot to Shubman Gill 11 weeks ago, he edges ahead of Simon Harmer this week to take a 79 point lead into Week 32 of the year.

2. Simon Harmer - 3453 - Only took first place last week, he picked the wrong time to take a rest. He is likely to play some part in the One Day Cup campaign soon.

3. Shubman Gill - 3265 - A decent score this week sees him arrest his slide down the table. Needs to sort his T20 form out in order to keep the wolves from the door.

4. Ravindra Jadeja - 3135 - A disappointing final two ODIs from Jadeja, but he manages to hold onto fourth place for a second week.

5. Rashid Khan - 3135 - Put in his best showing in the final of the MLC, however is now out of The Hundred tournament with an 'unspecified injury'. Buttler and Curran, who will both feature in the tournament, are 47 and 130 points behind him respectively.

Other Movers

Brook and Khawaja were the ones to watch last week. They scored 3 points different to each other and both shuffled up a place into 14th and 15th. Green drops two places to make way.

Top 3 Averages

1. Shakib Al Hasan - 185.89 (Up from 185.5)
2. Simon Harmer - 172.65 (Up from 153.68)
3. Ravindra Jadeja - 165 (Down from 170.94)

Jadeja's drop of 5.94 points is the largest of the week whilst Bairstow's improvement of 8 points is the best improvement.

Weekly Top 5

1. Babar Azam - 289 - Put something of a shift in all week in the LPL but is mainly here thanks to his century against Galle. This is his 14th Cricketer of the Week award - the joint second most of anyone ever.

2.Hardik Pandya = 174 - Hardik finished top last week and second this week courtesy of a decent bowling display in the end T20I vs West Indies. Despite two weeks worth of decent scores he still remains locked out of the Overall Top 10.

3. Suryakumar Yadav - 144 - SKY spent the first 2 months in Top 8 positions Overall but has never strung enough good performances to get up to those positions since. A very strong performance in the 3rd T20I was not enough to stop him from moving DOWN a place overall to 10th.

4. Harry Brook - 143 - A decent (if not career defining) Ashes performance now behind him, Brook has returned to franchise cricket and had one good performance this week against the Southern Brave to see him with a Top 5 finish.

5. Simon Harmer - 128 - Back from his rest in the early stages of the Metro Bank One Day Cup and a batting heavy score for the South African against Hampshire is enough for him to just squeak into the Top 5.

Overall

1. Shakib Al Hasan - 3599 - 67 points from 3 T20 games is poor by anyone's standards but Shakib manages to just just just hold on to top spot for a second consecutive week.

2. Simon Harmer - 3581 - Scored more than anyone else in the Top 8 but still does not manage to retain Top Spot. Maybe next week?

3. Shubman Gill - 3278 - That T20 malaise does not look like reversing itself anytime soon. Just 13 points scored this week and now the gap between him and second place is 303; the third highest gap between players at any point on our list.

4. Jos Buttler - 3153 - Is back to scoring well, and would have been even higher had the game against London Spirit not been washed out. He is up 2 places this week.

5. Ravindra Jadeja - 3135 - Inactive this week and is back into 5th position. He has spent 14 weeks of 2023 in 5th spot. Only Cummins' 18 week spell in 18th is longer.

Ones To Watch

It has to be those Top Two places. 18 points separates Galle's Shakib Al Hasan in first and Essex's Simon Harmer in second. Both players have 3 T20 games between Friday night and next Friday's update. Whose your money on?

Top 3 Averages

1. Shakib Al Hasan - 179.95 (Down from 185.89)
2. Simon Harmer - 170.52 (Down from 172.65)
3. Ravindra Jadeja - 165

Babar Azam's LPL form sees his average swell by nearly 10 points to 146.13. Shubman Gill's average continues to tumble; 10 weeks ago his average was 174.12, it is now 149.

[Arthur Crabtree]

Not as big as me.

[The Professor]

Weekly Top 5

1. Sam Curran - 230 - Showed his all round credentials in The Hundred this week with decent efforts with both bat and ball across his three fixtures. This is his second Cricketer of the Week of 2023.

2. Shakib Al Hasan - 221 - Played 4 matches in the LPL this week, and got a wicket in each...yet did not score above 20 in any. Despite finishing with the second highest points of the week, this total does seem a little underwhelming.

3. Simon Harmer - 151 - One wicket in all three Metro Bank One Day Cup games for Harmer, however his batting has let him down with a mere 11 runs across the games.

4. Devon Conway - 149 - Decent batting performances plus 60 points with the gloves sees Conway push into the Top 5.

5. Shubman Gill - 146 - Found his T20 Batting form for one game before promptly forgetting it again for the final T20 vs the West Indies. His score of 70 is enough to edge him into the Top 5.

Overall Top 5

1. Shakib Al Hasan - 3820 - Scored 70 points more than Simon Harmer this week to extend his lead to 88 points, however the LPL is at an end now and the Asia Cup doesn't start for a fortnight so he will struggle to hold on to top spot until then.

2. Simon Harmer - 3732 - Pootling along in his least favoured format. Within touching distance of first and a country mile away from 3rd. Mounting his charge, perhaps.

3. Shubman Gill - 3424 - Third once more - and you feel that may be his station for a little while. He is 308 points below second and 212 points above 4th.

4. Sam Curran - 3212 - His impressive week in The Hundred sees him move up into the Top 5 after he lost his place a month ago.

5. Jos Buttler - 3206 - A poor week for Buttler in The Hundred and he drops down to fifth. There is no real pressure from anyone below him so will be looking up rather than down.

Other Movers

Harry Brook is not doing terribly well in The Hundred but he manages to overtake the long-time inactive Marco Jansen into 13th place this week.

Ones To Watch

Two international team mates who are captaining different Hundred franchises have 6 points between them. Sam Curran's Oval Invincibles are doing much better than Jos Buttler's Manchester Originals...but they are both capable of big scores.

Top 3 Averages

1. Shakib Al Hasan - 181.9 (Up from 179.95_
2. Simon Harmer - 169.63 (Down from 170.52)
3. Ravindra Jadeja - 165

Sam Curran's top scoring week sees his average improve by 4.27 points to 118.96. Bairstow's ignominious return to The Hundred, coupled with his lack of active weeks means his average divebombs by ten and a half points to 97.5
