Quinton de Kock - The Best Cricketer of the Week

 


Despite it being a very low scoring week overall - all 7 of our contributors scored over 100. Just a Top three though.

Weekly Top 3

1. Quinton de Kock - 191 - Very much enjoying his time in the CPL. This week's score very much bolstered by the fact he played three games this week but got 40s in two of them.

2. Simon Harmer - 178 - Marked his final outing for Essex this year with four wickets against Sussex. Will be on the domestic scene in South Africa in the coming weeks.

3. Michael Bracewell - 157 - Making the most of it out in the European T20 Premier League. He got 6 wickets across three games for Amsterdam.

Overall Top 5

1. Vaibhav Sooryavanshi - 3840 - 52 runs across both innings in the Duleep Trophy final gave him 102 points. Second place is on his heels though.

2. Simon Harmer-3531- Narrows the gap on first and increases the gap on third. Very well insulated now with 309 above and 402 below.

3. Jos Buttler -3258 - Inactive this week but will soon be back in England colours.....letting the Top 2 drift away though.

4.Harry Brook -2856 - Perhaps would have expected top have registered points this week but the third Test against Pakistan continues to rumble on.

5. Sam Curran - 2732 - Inactive and injured this week - Quinton De Kock is now a feasible threat, 238 points below him in seventh.

Ones to Watch

if Michael Bracewell keeps his form he may do a bit of a mini surge. 235 points split 19th to 15th.

Highest Weekly Average

1. Vaibhav Sooryavanshi = 166.96(Down from 169.91)
2. Simon Harmer = 141.24 (Up from 139.71)
3. Sam Curran = 130.1

Sooryavanshi drops the most this week but still keeps top spot - whilst Pooran's average goes above 100 for the first time this year.

Nicholas Pooran - The Best Cricketer of the Week

 



Only 9 cricketers register a score this week - will still plough on with a Top 5.

Weekly Top 5

1. Nicholas Pooran - 287 - Continuing his late year revival. No player has scored more than him over the last three weeks (454).This is a man who was in last place 11 weeks ago and 14th 6 weeks ago...he is now 11 points off 7th.

2. Vaibhav Sooryavanshi - 195 -Had a poor time with the bat in his first senior Red Ball game but made up for it this week with 132 to see his East Zone side through to the final on Sunday.

3. Quinton de Kock - 187 - Only one man has more T20 hundreds than QDK...but he would be most proud of his third place finish for the week here. Up to 7th place Overall.

4.Simon Harmer- 128- The third time in arow where Harmer has scored 100+ in active weeks. Got there with just the ball this week having scored just 6 with the bat.

5. Harry Brook - 79 - 49 runs and three contributions in the field for Brook to keep him in the Top 5 for the third week on the bounce.

Overall Top 5

1. Vaibhav Sooryavanshi - 3728 - Moving in on that 4000 point mark - but only extended his lead on second by 8 points this week.

2. Simon Harmer - 3353 - Back up into second place again after losing it last week. Just 95 points between him and third.

3.Jos Buttler - 3258 - Inactive this week but will be back next week with a white ball series against Sri Lanka to get tucked into.

4. Harry Brook - 2856 -553 points separate him from the next active player this week (De Kock in 7th) whilst he needs 402 points to move up in the world. Fairly safe in 4th.

5. Sam Curran - 2856 - Just about holding on to fifth...but might manage to keep the berth for another week.

Ones To Watch

The closest gap comes between two explosive batters plying their trades in two CPL franchises. Barbados' De Kock currently has 11 more points than Trinbago's Pooran.

Highest Weekly Average

1. Vaibhav Sooryavanshi = 169.91 (Up from 168.86)
2. Simon Harmer = 139.71 (Down from 140.22)
3. Sam Curran = 130.1

De Kock's score of 187 sees his average up 3.65 points to 121.21 whilst Paul Walter's flop drops him 4.56 to 96.16.

Saim Ayub & Ravindra Jadeja - The Best Cricketers of the Week

 



For the first time in the 8 year history of this, we have a tie in first place.

Weekly Top 5

=1. Ravindra Jadeja - 213 - His return to Test cricket has seen him improve his overall position by two places every week for the last three weeks. Earns his 15th Cricketer of the Week; fourth on the All-Time List with Buttler's 18 his next target.

=1. Saim Ayub = 213 - Grabs his joint top spot berth thanks to a massive century against St Kitts and Nevis overnight. This is his fourth Cricketer of the Week this year, only Sooriyavanshi has more.

3. Harry Brook = 121 - Grabs third spot for his 91 against Pakistan in the first Test.

4. Simon Harmer = 118 - Back to the County Championship and back in the points. 28 runs with 2 wickets and low economies sees him in fourth for the week.

5. Nicholas Pooran - 103 - Continues his phoenix like redemption in the second half of the year, largely solely down to his 43 runs against Antigua and Barbuda. Up a place to 11th overall.

Overall Top 5

1. Vaibhav Sooryavanshi - 3546 - Back in action this week but only 8 runs off the bat in the Duleep Trophy - enigmatically picks up a further 70 points with his bowling.

2. Jos Buttler - 3258 - Inactive this week but just about manages to hold on to second place. Will not be as lucky next week.

3. Simon Harmer - 3225 - Finished fourth for the week and narrows the gap on second spot to 33 points. Has a huge gap of 448 points from fourth.

4. Harry Brook - 2777 - Half way through his summer and has moved up a place to fourth.

5. Sam Curran - 2732 - Inactive this week and only in the Top 5 thanks to a rather subdued performance from Gill in 6th.

Highest Weekly Average

1. Vaibhav Sooryavanshi = 168.86 (Down from 172.9)
2. Simon Harmer = 140.22 (Down from 141.23)
3. Harry Brook = 13224 (Down from 132.8)

Jadeja's high-scoring week moves him up 6.44 points to 129.29. Bracewell scores just one point and unsurprisingly drops the most - down 6.44 to 91.2
