Shubman Gill - The Best Cricketer of the Week

 

Weekly Top 5

1. Shubman Gill - 358 - Two stonking ODI innings for the Indian captain sees him claim his 12th All Time Cricketer of the Week - clear in 6th place. Maxwell with 13 is his next target.

2. Simon Harmer - 256 - One of his big scoring weeks against Leicester sees him get a score that would normally be worth a Cricketer of the Week nod. Had to suffice with the silver medal place instead.

3. Nat Sciver-Brunt - 164 - Two (almost) half centuries in England's World Cup campaign - followed by the news she is out of the next two. When she plays she is devastating but those injuries are a concern.

4. Paul Walter - 162 - It's feast or famine for Tall Paul - and this week he has been eating well courtesy of a century against Leicestershire.

5. Sophie Ecclestone- 130 - has been a very poor year for Ecclestone but this week sees her jump off of bottom spot and into 20th thanks to 100 wickets across two World Cup games.

Overall Top 5

1. Vaibhav Sooryavanshi - 2911 - 59 runs in two ODIs this week saw him finish 6th for the week and continues to push his lead on first up towards the 1000 point mark.

2. Shubman Gill - 2086 - Two weeks ago jumped from 6th to 4th. This week he has done just the same; o'er-leaping third and alighting at second.

3. Simon Harmer - 2026 - Will feel aggrieved to have remained in third despite Jos Buttler finishing below him and having scored a quarter of a thousand points.

4. Jos Buttler - Inactive and down two places to fourth.

5. Aiden Markram - 1690 - Just about holding on to fifth place against despite a month of scoring 0 points.

Highest Weekly Average

1. Vaibhav Sooryavanshi = 181.94 (Down from 186.13)
2. Nat Sciver-Brunt = 154.57 (Up from 153)
3. Shubman Gill = 139.07 (Up from 123.43)

Mehidy Hasan Miraz - The Best Cricketer of the Week

 

Weekly Top 5

1. Mehidy Hasan Miraz - 237 - Wasn't hugely impactful in his side's landmark ODI series victory over Australia but chipped in with Economies and Strike Rates to get his third Cricketer of the Week....was helped by a domestic outing at the start of the week too. Up an unbelievable 5 places and into the Overall Top 10.

2. Shubman Gill - 166 - A century in only his second red ball game of the year sees captain Gill take silver medal this week.

3. Vaibhav Sooryavanshi - 108 - Barely time to breathe after the IPL and is now in national colours for India A. One limp innings, but then a SR of 200 for a near-half century against Afghanistan A sees Vaibhav continue his strong form in One Day-ers after the Under 19 World Cup.

4. Nat Sciver-Brunt - 100 - Very poor return to the international stage with a weak score against Australia but dispelled that with a big score against India. Hitting her straps just in time.

5. Harry Brook - 96 - Lots of decent performances for England against New Zealand whilst Brook was.....kind of just about all right. 5th place though in a low scoring week.

Overall Top 5

1. Vaibhav Sooryavanshi - 2792 - The kid just won't take a break. His lead is now 786 and he continues to be the only player to have topped our Overall List all year.

2. Jos Buttler - 2006 - Inactive this week but that 200 + buffer has proved useful.

3. Simon Harmer - 1770 - A poor end to the first block of the T20 Blast for Harmer with a mee 26 points from two games. Holds third for a third week though.

4. Shubman Gill - 1728 - Makes his bow in the Top 5 for 2026. Completely skips the indignity of fifth place and jumps into 4th.

5. Aiden Markram - 1690 - His World Cup momentum slowed over the IPL and now inactive; he holds onto his Top 5 place by just 99 points.

Ones To Watch

Just 2 points between a resurgent Mehidy Hasan Miraz and Pathum Nissanka as they both have white ball commitments over the next week.

Highest Weekly Average

1. Vaibhav Sooryavanshi = 186.13 (Down from 192.07)
2. Nat Sciver-Brunt = 153 (Down from 163.6)
3. Quinton De Kock - 133.65.

MHM moves up by 10.29 points to see his average over the notional 100 points an active week mark for a good player. NSB drops the most but still holds second overall.

Liam Dawson - The Best Cricketer of the Week

 

Bit of a lull in points after the IPL but still enough action for a Weekly Top 5

Weekly Top 5

1. Liam Dawson - 408 - In the 14 T20 games that Dawson has played up until this week he has scored 459 points - this week he scored 408 in three. What is more he also moves up an insane 8 places in the Overall List to 7th.

=2. Pathum Nissanka - 99 - Announced he was giving up the LPL to undergo surgery but was fit enough in his half century in Sri Lanka's ODI win over West Indies.

=2. Sam Curran = 99 - After coming out of the block all guns blazing last week he had a more sanguine week this week with one short of a hundred in 3 games.

4. Paul Walter - 81 - Just the single game for Essex this week but another decent score sees him into fourth. He has the 7th most points of anybody since the start of the County Championship.

5. Mehidy Hasan Miraz - 51 - Two wickets and a contribution in the field is enough to get you in the Top 5 in this lean scoring week.

Overall Top 5

1. Vaibhav Sooryavanshi - 2689 - After a very busy 21 weeks, Vaibhav can rest on his 683 point laurels a little bit.

2. Jos Buttler - 2006 - Just 29 points in an underwhelming IPL final for Buttler.....will be back in action over the English summer to continue to put pressure on that top spot.

3. Simon Harmer - 1744 - 44 points in a more characteristic T20 Blast week for Harmer. Zero immediate pressure below him though so no sweat.

4.Aiden Markram - 1591 - Inactive this week but holds 4th place.

5. Saim Ayub - 1591 - Is very thankful that Gill had such a poor IPL final. Holds his place in the top 5 by just 29 points.

Ones To Watch

Curran has so much cricket to play over this Summer and is 2 points away from 8th, 12 away from 7th, 92 from 6th and (more aspirationally) 320 from 3rd.

Highest Weekly Average

1. Vaibhav Sooryavanshi = 192.07 (Up from 180.92)
2. Nat Sciver-Brunt = 163.6
3. Simon Harmer- 134.15 (Down from 141.67)

Liam Dawson dropped the most last week but has mroe than made up for it with a bump of 23.17 to 105.71. Gill is down the most - minus 9.18 to 120.15.
