Simon Harmer - The Best Cricketer of the Week

 

Weekly Top 5.....but kinda 6

1. Simon Harmer - 198 - A five-fer for Harmer against Glamorgan puts him top of the tree for the third time this year. He now clears the board for wicket scoring points this year.

2. Marco Jansen - 181 - Had more cold patches than hot ones in the IPL this year but is now plying his trade in the MLC where he got 4 wickets across 3 games for Washington.

3. Harry Brook - 172 - The perennial vice-captain put an OK showing in during the Second Test against New Zealand. 72 runs plus some extra points sees him in third place.

4. Vaibhav Sooryavanshi - 164 - Warmed up for his call-up to the full India squad with the fastest ever 50 in List A history. Seems like that should be worth more than 40 Strike Rate points but oh well.

=5. Nicholas Pooran - 139 - His travails in the IPL have been well publicised but he seems to have perked up now he is batting against 40 year old Americans. Moved up from bottom spot at the expense of Michael Bracewell.

=5. Rachin Ravindra - 139 - Put his poor first Test behind him with 33 and 76 in the second. He has scored more red call points this week than in his last two red ball games combined.

Overall Top 5

1. Vaibhav Sooryavanshi - 3075 - Sees his monumental lead on second eaten into by a mere 34 points this week.

2. Simon Harmer- 2224 - Moves up into second place thanks to his weekly winning score. One more game in the County Championship before it's back to the Blast.

3. Shubman Gill - 2106 - A victim of his team's dominance against Afghanistan this week. He was needed to bat and just got 20 fielding points. Down a spot.

4. Jos Buttler - 2006 - Retains fifth place despite his inactivity.

5. Aiden Markram - 1690 - Still clinging on to his Top 5 berth. Sam Curran is now only 29 behind him though.

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)

Gill moves up by 15.64 to push into the top three highest average. An underwhelming game from Sam Curran in the County Championship sees him down by 5.77 points to 122.31.

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.
