Jos Buttler - The Best Cricketer of the Week

 



Top 5 for the Week

1. Jos Buttler - 230 - His points had been gradually declining throughout The Hundred but was back in a big way this week; with 120 runs across two games. This is his third Cricketer of the Week performance making 2023 the best of his three years on our Lists.

2. Harry Brook - 187 - Scored his obligatory century in each Short Format franchise competition he plays in and gets second place. If it wasn't for the flop against Manchester he could have bagged his first Cricketer of the Week.

3. Jonny Bairstow - 124 - Had two awful games last week and scored 3 points. This week he performed 4100% better and finished third.

4. Devon Conway - 120 - Is rather enjoying his time at The Rose Bowl. He has scored triple figure point scores in back to back weeks this week and finishes fourth once more.

5. Moeen Ali - 116 - Back in the points again and, inexplicably, still creeping up the Overall Table. Despite having the second worst average points per active week (86.73) He is now up to 11th place. Having only missed 8 weeks of cricket also helps.

Overall Top 5

1. Shakib Al Hasan - 3867 - Despite scoring the lowest score of any active player this week (47) Shakib manages to extend his lead in first to 135. He has one Asia Cup game against Sri Lanka before next week's deadline to extend that lead.

2. Simon Harmer - 3732 - Inactive this week and will be inactive next week due to Essex's elimination from the Metro Bank One Day Cup. He has a 296 point lead on third place; will that be enough?

3. Jos Buttler - 3436 - His weekly high score sees him to his highest Overall placement in a month. Is guaranteed at least 1 (maybe 2 games) over the next week.

4. Shubman Gill - 3424 - Down one place to fourth. Inactive this week and will also be inactive next week before having two games the week after. With just 164 points off him and 5th spot he may descend further down the overall list.

5. Sam Curran - 3260 - Such are the ups and downs of cricket that Sam Curran scored the highest weekly total last week and then got the lowest one this week. It sees him drop a place overall to 5th.

Other Mover

Rashid Khan finished 6th this week and also moved up to 6th overall courtesy of the two lost ODIs to Pakistan.

Top 3 Averages

1. Shakib Al Hasan - 175.77 (Down from 181.9)
2. Simon Harmer - 169.63
3. Ravindra Jadeja - 165

Shakib Al Hasan's average topples by 6.13 but he still remains comfortably first for the year. Harry Brook's average gets a 4.43 boost thanks to that century vs the Welsh Fire.
