Paul Walter - The Best Cricketer of the Week

 

Weekly Top 5

1. Paul Walter - 238 - A phenomenal score for The Hundred's breakout star as he scores 108 runs in two Manchester innings. Jumps a huge 5 spots to 16th on the Overall List.

2. Ravindra Jadeja - 225 - Had been out of action for eleven weeks and subsequently dropped to the bottom of the List...but 225 points moves him up to 20th before a Test series against Sri Lanka.

3. Mehidy Hasan Miraz - 215 - Test warm up games can either be feast or famine ...and the Bangladesh captain certainly tucked in this week against a Cricket Australia XI. Unusually a majority of his points came from the bat.

4. Simon Harmer - 193 - Three One Day Cup Games sees Harmer into the Top 5. The highlight of his week was 32 and a wicket against Durham.

5. Nat Sciver-Brunt - 189 - Is playing so well at the moment. When she enters a tournament or a game she has the skills and acumen to turn it around without breaking sweat. Up to 12th overall.

Overall Top 5

1.Vaibhav Sooryavanshi - 3458 - Will be inactive for at least another fortnight and his lead is now 351.

2. Simon Harmer - 3107 - Moves back into second place - but only has a five point jump on Buttler and has now been knocked out of the One Day Cup

3. Jos Buttler - 3102 - Just 11 points for the new Manchester captain sees him down a place to third. However it is only 5 points and he has at least 1 more game of The Hundred left.

4.Sam Curran - 2732 - A decent score of 162 this week was not enough for Curran's MI London to qualify. He scored 648 points across the tournament.

5.Harry Brook - 2567 - Played three games this week but only had one superhuman effort so remains in fifth with Gill 129 points below him.

Jos Buttler - The Best Cricketer of the Week

 

The Weekly Top 5

1. Jos Buttler- 263 - Perhaps shockingly, this is Buttler's first Cricketer of the Week award this year. His 153runs across two games now takes him to within one of Babar Azam's tally of 19 Cricketers of the Week; only Harmer has more.

2. Rachin Ravindra - 224 - Exploding with points at the point. Nobody has scored more than his 1077 points in the month of July. In that time he has moved up from 16th to 7th.

3.Vaibhav Sooryavanshi - 201 - Everyone's favourite adolescent is back in cricket's good graces with 101 runs from two T20s against Zimbabwe. Is scheduled to make his red ball debut at the end of next month which should prove interesting if nothing else.

4. Michael Bracewell - 96 - A huge descent down in points from third to fourth; also a bit of a point difference from his 309 last week - but three wickets in the Global Super League is enough for fourth.

5. Harry Brook - 95 - A 17 ball 42 against Manchester sees Brook round off our Top 5 this week.

Overall Top 5

1. Vaibhav Sooryavanshi - 3458 - Takes lead back up to over 500 points and with 59% of the year gone we ask ourselves once again; could he lead the way for the duration of 2026?

2. Jos Buttler - 2873 - His highest point score of the week also comes with a complimentary promotion to second position.

3. Simon Harmer - 2822 - Back in action in the One Day Cup, however is forced down a place as thanks.

4. Sam Curran - 2434 - His score this week was hampered by missing one of the three MI London games. He did enough in the two games to move up to fourth.

5. Shubman Gill - 2384 - After all he did in the series against England, one inactive week has seen him down to fifth. Another one may see him out of the Top 5 all together with Brook 110 behind him.

Ones to Watch

England compatriots Sciver-Brunt and Ecclestone have 3 points between them in 16th and 17th.

Highest Weekly Average

1. Vaibhav Sooryavanshi = 172.9 (Up from 171.42)
2. Simon Harmer = 141.1 (Down from 144.74)
3. Harry Brook = 133.76 (Down from 136.76.

Ravindra's improving form sees his average up to a year high of 113.44 - up 6.5 from last week. Sciver-Brunt's return to short form cricket sees her lose 6.45 points and lose her top three berth.
