Rachin Ravindra - The Best Cricketer of the Week

 

Extraordinary week of scoring ; just short of 3000 points on t he board with three cricketers getting their highest score of the year.

Weekly Top 5

1.Rachin Ravindra- 468 - The headline figure is that Rachin has scored the 7th highest score in the 8 year history of this List. He matched just under half his total of T20 points scored in the last 18 games this year in just 4 this week and moves up from 16th to 9th.

2. Sophie Ecclestone - 351 - Imagine what her numbers would be like if she got to play more than a single red ball game every year and a half. Comfortably broken her record point score of 2026 and up to 18th overall.

3. Nicholas Pooran - 338 - Increased his total T20 points scored to date by 34% this week with 208 runs in 3 games in Major League Cricket. Is one of only 4 players to score more than 700 points in the last month. Working his way into form or taking advantage of poor bowling?

4. Jos Buttler - 313 - Put his critics to one side briefly with a huge 131in the final T20 against England....then bolstered it with another 50 fielding points in the two ODIs.

5. Sam Curran - 216 - Really hitting the straps with his bowling again and getting those allrounder points. When he doesn't hit with the bat he makes up for it with ball - he bagged 160 points with that discipline this week.

Overall Top 5

1. Vaibhav Sooryavabshi - 3137 - Seems to have been folded into the white ball squad a bit now and hard to see where his next cricket is coming from, Lead of 387 on second.

2. Simon Harmer- 2750 - Only 87 points from 3 T20 Blast games for Harmer as his side failed to do what needed to be done to progress to Finals Day. Holds second.

3. Jos Buttler - 2513 - Is very well insulated in third still; 237 up to second, 326v down to third. Very aesthetically pleasing if nothing else.

4. Shubman Gill - 2277 - A sign of how high scoring this week has been is that Gill's score of 171 sees him finish 8th for the week. Holds fourth overall.

5. Harry Brook - 2147 - Real civil war going on between Brook and Curran for 5th. Brook scored 192 this week but Curran scored 216 meaning that the gap is now just 63.

Highest Weekly Average

1. Vaibhav Sooryavanshi = 174
2. Simon Harmer = 144.74 (Down from 147.94)
3. Harry Brook = 143.13 (Up from 139.64)

Ravindra'sscary weeks sees a huge bump to his average - up 24.13 to 106.06. NSB leaks 9.2 and drops out of the Top 3.

Simon Harmer - The Best Cricketer of the Week

 

Weekly Top 5

1. Simon Harmer - 352 - Last week I criticised his T20 form....he shot back at that with a frankly flawless spell of low economical bowling and a frankly startling heavy hitting couple of innings this week. He is now one Cricketer of the Week away from his half century.

2. Harry Brook - 234 - Back to the short form and everyone loves Harry again. Some spectacularly big hitting this week to put India to the sword in emphatic fashion.

3. Phil Salt - 189 - Has been beset by poor form and injury this year....but didn't seem like it this week with 129 runs against India in three T20s (one of which he got a duck in....unsure whether that makes it more or less impressive.)

4. Sam Curran - 188 - A fantastic return to bowling for Sam as he bags 80 wicket points this week plus his 48 runs. Always piles on the points in the English Summer and does son again in 2026.

5. Mehidy Hasan Miraz - 187 - Has blagged his way into the Top 5 this week despite his team suffering two ODI losses against Zimbabwe. Only 3 wickets but 60 Economy points and a cameo with the bat boosts him up.

Overall Top 5

1. Vaibhav Sooryavanshi - 3137 - The 15 year old has had the first big setback of his career with his debut for the full India side. And, at the same time, his lead in first drops to below 500 for the first time in months.

2. Simon Harmer - 2663 - His big win this week sees him move dramatically away from 3rd place and dramatically towards first. 474 points separate him from first and 464 from third.

3. Jos Buttler- 2200 - Couple of emphatic wins against India in a T20 series and you assume that Buttler has tucked in...that was not the case this week. Instead he has moved up to third purely on fielding points, of which he got 100 this week.

4. Shubman Gill -2106 - Inactive this week and back down to fourth.

5. Harry Brook - 1955 - Back into the Top 5 having scored 100_ points in three weeks on the bounce. De Kock, last week's holder of fifth, has been knocked down to 7th with Curran in 6th.

Highest Weekly Average

1. Vaibhav Sooryavanshi = 174 (Down from 180,88)
2. Simon Harmer = 147.94 (Up from 135.95)
3. Nat Sciver-Brunt = 147.22 (Down from 153.38)

Biggest winner and loser in terms of average are our current first and second; with Vaibhav losing 6.6 off his average and Harmer gaining exactly 12.

Quinton De Kock - The Best Cricketer of the Week

 

WeeklyTop 5

1. Quinton De Kock - 214 - Back to decent T20 performances over in America. 114 runs with 70 Strike Rate points across three games for MI New York sees him with his highest score since the end of January.

2. Harry Brook-159 - A deceptively good performance in terms of metrics for Brook. In fact, despite the historically poor series against New Zealand, only Harmer and Gill have scored more points than Brook since the start of the first Test.

3. Paul Walter- 151 - Tall Paul's yo-yo-ing form continues to do just that with a big score this week. Strap yourself in for a meagre one next week. This week he scored Essex's fastest ever half century in 18 balls.

4.Nat Sciver-Brunt- 145 - Captain Fantastic is back with a match-winning performance over South Africa to take England to the World Cup final. Captivating stuff.

5.Nicholas Pooran - 145 - Making hay in the New York sun with a second Top 5 finish in a week. Pulls himself up to 19th - a position he has been no higher than since the end of January.

Overall Top 5

1. Vaibhav Sooryavanshi - 3075 - Inactive for only the second time in the last thirteen weeks. His lead now a 'mere'764 points.

2. Simon Harmer - 2311 - Harmer never sets the world alight in Blast weeks and this was no different with 87 points in two games.

3.Shubman Gill - 2106 - Inactive this week and holds off fourth place by 80 points.

4. Jos Buttler - 2026 - A rare T20 Blast outing before a washed out England game sees Buttler back in action for the first time since the IPL. Holds fourth for the third week in a row.

5. Quinton De Kock - 1761 - A phenomenal bump up the table as QDK goes from 10th to reclaim a Top 5 spot he lost 6 weeks ago.

Highest Weekly Average

1. Vaibhav Sooryavanshi = 180,88
2. Nat Sciver-Brunt = 153.38 (Down from 154.57)
3. Simon Harmer = 135.95 (Down from 139)

QDK's renaissance week sees him up 6.34 points to 135.46 whilst Curran's solitary T20 matches sees him leak 6.64 to 112 a week.
