Sam Curran - The Best Cricketer of the Week




 Weekly Top 5


1. Sam Curran - 230 - Showed his all round credentials in The Hundred this week with decent efforts with both bat and ball across his three fixtures. This is his second Cricketer of the Week of 2023.

2. Shakib Al Hasan - 221 - Played 4 matches in the LPL this week, and got a wicket in each...yet did not score above 20 in any. Despite finishing with the second highest points of the week, this total does seem a little underwhelming.

3. Simon Harmer - 151 - One wicket in all three Metro Bank One Day Cup games for Harmer, however his batting has let him down with a mere 11 runs across the games.

4. Devon Conway - 149 - Decent batting performances plus 60 points with the gloves sees Conway push into the Top 5.

5. Shubman Gill - 146 - Found his T20 Batting form for one game before promptly forgetting it again for the final T20 vs the West Indies. His score of 70 is enough to edge him into the Top 5.

Overall Top 5

1. Shakib Al Hasan - 3820 - Scored 70 points more than Simon Harmer this week to extend his lead to 88 points, however the LPL is at an end now and the Asia Cup doesn't start for a fortnight so he will struggle to hold on to top spot until then.

2. Simon Harmer - 3732 - Pootling along in his least favoured format. Within touching distance of first and a country mile away from 3rd. Mounting his charge, perhaps.

3. Shubman Gill - 3424 - Third once more - and you feel that may be his station for a little while. He is 308 points below second and 212 points above 4th.

4. Sam Curran - 3212 - His impressive week in The Hundred sees him move up into the Top 5 after he lost his place a month ago.

5. Jos Buttler - 3206 - A poor week for Buttler in The Hundred and he drops down to fifth. There is no real pressure from anyone below him so will be looking up rather than down.

Other Movers

Harry Brook is not doing terribly well in The Hundred but he manages to overtake the long-time inactive Marco Jansen into 13th place this week.

Ones To Watch

Two international team mates who are captaining different Hundred franchises have 6 points between them. Sam Curran's Oval Invincibles are doing much better than Jos Buttler's Manchester Originals...but they are both capable of big scores.

Top 3 Averages

1. Shakib Al Hasan - 181.9 (Up from 179.95_
2. Simon Harmer - 169.63 (Down from 170.52)
3. Ravindra Jadeja - 165

Sam Curran's top scoring week sees his average improve by 4.27 points to 118.96. Bairstow's ignominious return to The Hundred, coupled with his lack of active weeks means his average divebombs by ten and a half points to 97.5
