Sam Curran - The Best Cricketer of the Week...again

 



After a very busy week last week, only 580 points were shared between 6 players this week - this was the fourth lowest weekly total of the year. Accordingly we shall only have a Top 3 for the Week.

Weekly Top 3

1. Sam Curran - 140 - After bagging the third highest score in the 7 years of these Lists last week, Curran gets top spot again this week....but this time with the 10th worst high score for the week in the 7 years of these Lists.

2. Phil Salt - 133 - Another good week for Salt who has improved his total score by 385 points over the last fortnight. No player has scored a greater percentage of their total points from their Strike Rate; 27.23% of his 2350 points are from that discipline.

3. Moeen Ali - 140 - Has underperformed this year....but is never far away from a three figure score when he flicks the switch. This fairly anodyne score sees him move up three places in the Overall list, overleaping the Indian trio of Gill, Kohli and Jadeja and moving to 12th.

Overall Top 5

1. James Vince - 3421 - Just the one game this week courtesy of a washout against the Welsh Fire however still holds a comfortable lead on second place.

2. Chamari Athapaththu - 3224 - Has not impressed in her spell in The Hundred with just one score over 20 and 0 wickets. Will be joining up with Sri Lanka for the ODI series against Ireland. She has the most 50 over points of anyone so could be back in the points shortly.

3. Sam Curran - 2563 - Jumped from 12th to 5th last week and this week moves up into the Top 3 for the first time since July last year.

4. Babar Azam - 2647 - Has not played a single stroke of cricket since the World Cup. The last time he turned out he was first on our List....now slips down another place to 4th.

5. Travis Head - 2586 - His first inactive week since his MLS outing and is down a place to 5th. He needn't be overly concerned as he has a cushion of 202 points from the inactive Marnus Labuschagne in 6th and 236 away from Phil Salt - his nearest active rival.

Top Three Averages

1. Chamari Athapaththu - 179.11 (Down from 188.06)
2. Babar Azam - 155.71
3. Marnus Labuschagne - 132.44

Athapaththu's average takes another hit this week; shes leaked a jot over 17 points in her time in The Hundred. Moeen Ali's good weeks sees his average up 2.04 but he still has the fourth lowest at 84.04.
