Vaibhav Sooryavanshi - The Best Cricketer of the Week

 



One of those weird weeks where everyone plays musical chars. Only 6 of our 22 players stayed in the same place on The Overall List.

Weekly Top 5

1. Vaibhav Sooryavanshi - 256 - Week after week passes and I expect their to be a drop off.....but there just never is. His Strike Rate numbers are absolutely enormous; he has 90 more more than anyone else.

2. Jos Buttler - 233 - Has his best IPL week so far- playing one more game than most helps in that front as well though to be honest. Only Vaibhav has scored more points than him since the start of the IPL.

3. Shubman Gill - 208 Keeps following a pattern of scoring ne stonking score a week and did so again this time out courtesy of a rapid score against Bengalaru yesterday. Moves up 5 places to 12th overall.

4.Michael Bracewell - 165 - Turning into quite a canny little signing for Peshawar. After a big week two weeks ago, he contributed with a score of 85 against Lahore this week.

5. Simon Harmer - 161 - Again, nothing dramatic for Harmer but it is the grind that keeps seeing him move up the List. Averages 158 points per week since the start of the County Championship and is now 7th and 290 points out of the Top 5.

Overall Top 5

1.Vaibhav Sooryavanshi - 2032 - Your semi-regular reminder that we are now a third of the way through the year and Vaibhav has never been out of first position at any point this year....and he now has nearly half a thousand point lead on second. Extra-ordinary.

2. Aiden Markram- 1602 - Another below par IPL week for Markram - although did only play a solitary game. Needs to watch his back.

3. Quinton De Kock - 1470 - Inactive this week after failing to live up to the pyrotechnics of his return to the Mumbai fold a fortnight ago. His Top three berth is in dire jeopardy.

4. Jos Buttler - 1458 - 729 points since the start of the IPL has seen Buttler move from 10th to the cusp of the Top 3.

5. Saim Ayub- 1419 - Is not hugely forcing his agenda in the PSL. 99 points across three games is a disappointment, as his single place decent down the List. That being said there are 263 points between himself and sixth.

Highest Weekly Average

1. Vaibhav Sooryavanshi = 203.2 (Up from 197.73)
2. Nat Sciver-Brunt = 163.6 (Down from 177.75)
3.Quinton De Kock = 133.64

Paul Walter up by 16.42 points to 84.75. Jadeja drops the most - down 15.61 t0 113.25

Mehidy Hasan Miraz - The Best Cricketer of the Week

 


Weekly Update

1.Mehidy Hasan Miraz - 206 - MHM was the winner of one of the most unedifying Cricketers of the Week earlier this year when he got a score of 131 in a week where only two players featured. This one is more earned.....despite playing three games when most played two.

2.Ravindra Jadeja - 162 - Had a bit of a flat IPL so far but had two decent fixtures this week courtesy of two wickets against Kolkata and 43 runs vs Lucknow.

=3. Shubman Gill - 150 - 100 runs across two games this week continues his decent IPL spell. Does not manage to move up from 17th place overall however.

=3.Simon Harmer - 150 - We are still not at vintage Harmer levels - especially not with the ball - but the South African is certainly contributing with the bat for Essex.

5.Liam Dawson - 144 - 3 wickets and some choking economy in a thriller vs Somerset puts Dawson in 5th place this week.

Overall Top 5

1.Vaibhav Sooryavanshi - 1776 - Not exploding like he was in his opening figure but is still sizzling away. 84 points this week is still more than anyone else in the Top 5 from last week scored.

2. Aiden Markram - 1541 - 42 runs across two fixtures this week is not putting much pressure on first place. Has 71 points between himself and third.

3.Quinton de Kock - 1470 - Exploded back into IPL action last week but only got 40 points in two fixtures this week. Still, a healthy 150 point gap between him and fourth.

4. Saim Ayub - 1320 - Only 5 points this week as he failed to impress in his solitary match for Hyderabad in the PSL this week. Manages to hold 4th for a third week.

5. Jos Buttler - 1225 - Debuted in Week 1 in fifth place and drifted as low as tenth. Returns to claim his place courtesy of his IPL form.

Ones To Watch

Test superstars Ravindra Jadeja and Travis Head are struggling overall this year. Only one point splits them between 11th and 12th.

Highest Weekly Average

1. Vaibhav Sooryavanshi = 197.73 (Down from 211.5)
2. Nat Sciver-Brunt = 177.75
3.Quinton De Kock = 133.64 (Down from 143)

MHM up by 14.68 points to 73.9. Vaibhav drops the most for the second week in a row - down another 14.17 this week.

Michael Bracewell - The Best Cricketer of the Week

 


Weekly Top 5

1, Michael Bracewell - 185 - A relatively impressive all round display from Bracewell sees him earn his first Cricketer of the Week award. Seems to have uncovered some huge hitting potential. Was helped by playing 3 games in the window this week, though.

2 Quinton De Kock - 182 - Has given Mumbai a selection headache to go along with their results headache after scoring a mammoth 112 in the loss to Punjab yesterday.

3. Phil Salt - 135 - Produced one of his decent performances with 78 against Mumbai before clocking up a damp squib against Lucknow. Enough to clinch bronze.

4. Liam Dawson - 124 - His first appearance in a Top 5 this year courtesy of a not very impressive performance against Yorkshire. Almost half of his points this week come from Economy.

5. Jos Buttler - 120 - Another half century for Buttler as he edges his way back towards the Top 5 again.

Overall Top 5

1. Vaibhav Sooryavanshi - 1692 - Despite his score of 0 this week he still claims top spot with a lead of 233 points.

2. Aiden Markram - 1459 - Ticking along nicely for his third week in Top 2. Did not take advantage of a slip up from our current leader but holds off third.

3. Quinton De Kock - 1430 - Back in action after three weeks away and manages to keep his third place berth again.

4. Saim Ayub - 1315 - Played three games this week and got only 106 runs from them but still managed to keep a hold of fourth for a second week.

5.Sam Curran - 1156 - Just about managing to hold on to his Top 5 position with quite a few lining up to replace him.

Ones to Watch

Ravindra Jadeja and Liam Dawson were both mainstays in the Top 5 for almost all of the last year but find themselves lingering outside the Top 10 this year. Only three points split them this week.

Highest Weekly Average

1. Vaibhav Sooryavanshi = 211.5 (Down from 241.71)
2. Nat Sciver-Brunt = 177.75
3.Quinton De Kock = 143 (Up from 138.67)

Michael Bracewell shoots up by 20.5 points to 82 and a half. Vaibhav's 0 sees him plummet by 30.21 points.
