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

Mehidy Hasan Miraz - The Best Cricketer of the Week

 


Weekly Top 5

1. Mehidy Hasan Miraz - 275 - A historic week for his side and Cricketer of the Week to boot. MHM was instrumental in his side's humbling of Australia. Moves up to 7th place overall - his highest point at any point this year.

2. Ravindra Jadeja - 182 - Continuing his recovering from hitting bottom place in the List with a second week in the Top 5. His 4 wickets against Sri Lanka moves him to 17th.

3. Paul Walter - 162 - Continued his amazing late tournament spell of form in The Hundred with 102 runs in the last two games. Instrumental to Manchester's victory in the tournament.

4. Jos Buttler - 156 - Two decent performances in the last two games sess the stand-in Manchester captain in fourth place for the week.

5. Harry Brook - 89 - Big gap between the Top 4 and 5th this week but Brook's 89 points game in just one game against Manchester. 49 runs with 30 SR points and a catch.

Overall Top 5

1. Vaibhav Sooryavanshi - 3458 - Will be back in action this Sunday in his first Red Ball foray.....and who knows what to expect there.

2. Jos Buttler - 3258 - His Hundred heroics sees him back up to second after being deposed last week.

3. Simon Harrmer - 3107 - Back down to third after an inactive week.

4. Sam Curran - 2732 - Seemed to be on the cusp of a Test recall but is now out with injury. With a number of weeks out of the game we could see him lose his Top 5 berth.

5. Harry Brook - 2656 - Got 45 more points than Shubman Gill in 6th and extends his lead on him to 174.

Highest Weekly Average

1. Vaibhav Sooryavanshi = 172.9
2. Simon Harmer = 141.23
3. Harry Brook = 132.8 (Down from 135.11)

MHM moves up 8.59 points to 11.75 whilst NSB moves down 8.58 to 125.5 a week.

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.

Highest Weekly Average

1. Vaibhav Sooryavanshi = 172.9
2. Simon Harmer = 141.23 (Up from 138.71 )
3. Harry Brook = 135.11 (Down from 136.39)

Jadeja's return sees his average improve the most - up 9.74 to 117.93 whilst Bracewell's ineffectual cameo for Manchester sees him down 6.15 to 104.85
