Jos Buttler - The Best Cricketer of the Week

 



Weekly Top 5


1. Jos Buttler - 315 - Looks like he might be getting back to his best form again. After a pretty good IPL he was instrumental to England's two white ball series victories against the Windies. He now has 14 career Cricketers of the Week. Only Azam (19) and Harmer (45) have more.

2. Jamie Smith - 202 - Eyebrows were raised at his promotion to open against the West Indies....well those eyebrows need to return to their normal home as he played a more than decent hand with 165 runs across 3 T20s.

3. Sam Curran - 153 - The worst of his three weeks back in English cricket but still enough for third place for the week. No player has scored more than the 703 points he has over the last 3 weeks.

4. Liam Dawson - 150 - His immediate return to the England fold was a stormer....however his last two games were rather more sobering. Still enough for fourth place this week.

5. Harry Brook - 145 - Two solid scores at a decent lick across the three T20s has seen the new England captain take fifth place this week...and, less notably, two series victories in his new berth. Moves up 4 places to 17th Overall

Overall Top 5

1. Nat Sciver-Brunt - 107 - Finished the West Indies ODI series with a half century and 107 points that sees her hold on to top spot by a mere 2 points.

2. Jos Buttler - 2081 - Continues his surge up the table to a whisker off first place. The 2023 Cricketer of the Year might be gearing himself up for a tilt at the 2025 crown.

3. Sam Curran - 1914 - Leaps up from 7th a fortnight ago to 3rd today. Really making hay when the English Summer sun shines.

4. Liam Dawson - 1891 - Firmly cementing his place in the Top 5 - will be back with Hampshire soon enough. Will the points keep flowing?

5. Ravinidra Jadeja - 1788 - Post IPL inactivity sees Jadeja drop from 2nd to 5th. This is his lowest position for ten weeks.

Other Movers

Modest but moving scores from Kane Williamson and Liam Livingstone sees them move up to 14th and 19th respectively.

Top 3 Averages

1. Sam Curran - 1159.5 (Down from 160.09)
2. Nat Sciver-Brunt – 148.79 (Down from 152)
3. Chamari Athapaththu -143.6

Jamie Smith moves up the most again - this week's increase of 14.29 means he has moved up 23 points over the last fortnight. Jaiswal's insipid return to red ball sees him leak 6.73 points - down to 102.77.
