Mehidy Hasan Miraz - The Best Cricketer of the Week

 

Bigger scores this week but only 7 active players means a Top 3 once more.

Weekly Top 3

1.Mehidy Hasan Miraz - 256 - Has snuck on me just how good a year MHM has had. This is his 5th Cricketer of the Week award - tied first alongside Sooryavanshi. This week also sees him move up to 7th Overall and only 232 off the Top 5.

2. Ravindra Jadeja - 242 - A very decent domestic haul for Jadeja as he scores 102 runs and gets 3 wickets for Saurashtra in the Ranji Trophy

3. Marco Jansen - 231 - The stand out performer of our 4 players to be turning our in the South Africa - Australia Test. 61 runs is fewer than Markram but his 4 wickets plus bonus points lifts him 29 points above the batter.

Overall Top 5

1. Vaibhav Sooryavanshi - 3933 - Rumours abound that the wunderkind might be drafted in for the final T20 against West Indies -and my God does he need it. Only 86 points away from losing a first place berth he has held since Week 1.

2. Simon Harmer - 3847 - Was the lowest scoring of our three South African Test players but he has done enough to reclaim second place.....now where?

3.Jos Buttler- 3770 - Long term out. Has 214 points between him and fourth ....but a huge 922 between him and sixth. Is his Top 5 place booked for 2026?

4. Harry Brook- 3556 - Back in action on Monday. No pressure from below him......how far can he reach in the final 10 weeks of the year?

5. Shubman Gill - 3036 - Inactive this week but could see a resurgent Mehidy Hasan Miraz push for his Top 5 place this week. 232 seperate the two men.

1. Vaibhav Sooryavanshi = 157.32

Nicholas Pooran - The Best Cricketer of the Week

 

This week is the third lowest scoring week of the year so only a Top 3 this time out.

Weekly Top 3

1. Nicholas Pooran - 217 - Nicky P scored 57% of all points scored this week but did so in a tournament only half a rung up from the standard you see at a kid's birthday party. The rather farcical nature of the Canada Super 60 means that Pooan picked up his first.....and most likely last wicket points with 2 bagged against the mighty Mississauga Masters.

2. Travis Head - 82 - Not many cricketers have scored 22 runs and finished second for the week but Head's contribution this week - aided by 30 Economy points - sees him in silver medal position.

3. Saim Ayub - 69 - Still plugging away with decent scores - will be disappointed to have not been selected for the tour of Sri Lanka but certainly isn't anonymous.

Overall Top 5

1.Vaibhav Sooryavanshi - 3933 - Only 15 points scored this week but no pressure from below means his lead is 163.

2.Jos Buttler - 3770 - Crocked and sat 48 points below top spot.

3. Simon Harmer - 3722 - Primed for an assault on the Top 2 with his participation in the ongoing Test against Australia.

4. Harry Brook - 3556 - Inactive for the next two weeks before the Tri-Series against Pakistan and Sri Lanka. Over half a thousand points split him from fifth.

5. Shubman Gill - 3036 - Only a single point from his final ODI game against West Indies and has Nicholas Pooran breathing down his neck for a miraculous return from bottom place.


Highest Weekly Average

1. Vaibhav Sooryavanshi = 157.32 (Down from 163.5)
2.Harry Brook - 142.24
3. Simon Harmer - 137.85

Nicholas Pooran improves by 4.29 to 105.44. Shubman Gill, who went up by 15.95 last week, leaks 5.95 down to 132.

Shubman Gill - The Best Cricketer of the Week

 

Weekly Top 5

1. Shubman Gill - 473 - Gill has one hell of the week and registers the highest score by an Indian international and the seventh highest score of all time courtesy of 333 runs against the West Indies.

2. Nicholas Pooran - 330 - Is playing a tournament in Canada, widely criticised for having smaller boundaries than your local primary school game.....still every point counts and Pooran has got 220 of 'em.

3. Travis Head - 168 - Putting his slump behind him with another 108 runs this week to see him push up to 18th place - he hasn't been higher than that in 9 weeks.

4. Harry Brook - 117 - Continues his fine late Summer surge. This is now his third successive score of 100+ in a row.

5. Liam Dawson - 110 - Impressively ends up in the Top 5 off the back of just the one ODI. Bagged 3 wickets with full economy points in the third game against Sri Lanka.

Overall Top 5

1. Vaibhav Sooryavanshi - 3918 - Back in action again....but scoring modestly in the Asian Games fixture against Sri Lanka. Lead is now 148.

2. Jos Buttler - 3770 - You don't understand. He coulda been a contender. He coulda been somebody. That damn hamstring.

3. Simon Harmer - 3722 - Only got 85 runs as he attemotes to help Essex stave off relegation. Doesn't reclaim his second place though. Can't have everything.

4. Harry Brook - 3556 - Very comfortably Top 4 material again. Could even push for a Top 3 place with a decent Winter Tour of Pakistan.

5. Shubman Gill - 3035 - Crashes into the Top 5 with a thud. Straight in and adding a 292 point gap on Quinton de Kock below him.

Highest Weekly Average

1. Vaibhav Sooryavanshi = 163.5 (Down from 166.96)
2.Harry Brook - 142.24 (Down from 143,29)
3. Shubman Gill = 137.95 (Up from 122)

That 15.95 point increase of Gill's is the highest of the week. Teammate Jadeja goes the most in the opposite direction ; down 4.62 to 124.67.
