Jos Buttler - The Best Cricketer of the Week




 Ridiculous amount of movement in the List this week courtesy of our second 2000+ point score week in succession.


Weekly Top 5

1. Jos Buttler - 303 - Has brought his decent IPL form to the T20 Blast courtesy of two half centuries in three innings this week. This is his 15th overall Cricketer of the Week which brings him into outright third. Only Azam (19) and Harmer (45) have more.

2. Ravindra Jadeja - 253 - Is continuing his stellar form with the bat in the Third Test. With 676 points, no Indian test player has outperformed him in this series.

3. Jasprit Bumrah - 245 - Lost both matches he has played in this series but has contributed 435 points to his total. Moved up a place to 21 in the Overall List this week.

4. Jamie Smith - 159 - A score in the mid hundreds looks paltry compared to his bumper score of the week before but still puts him as the highest England player on the List this week and moves him up to 13th overall - he was 20th at the start of the series.

5. Kane Williamson - 144 - is basically here due to a half century against Gloucestershire which he then padded with two other below par games in the T20 Blast. Moves up 2 places to 10th on the Overall List.

Overall Top 5

1. Sam Curran - 2736 - Reclaims the top spot he lost 20 weeks ago. Since then we have had 14 weeks of Sciver Brunt and three each of Jadeja and Dawson before the Hampshire man returned the sceptre to the Surrey captain. How long can he hold it?

2. Liam Dawson - 2714 - Just 70 points this week and he drops down to second. That being said, a return to the Test fold awaits and we have seen some huge scores registered there so he could be back up again soon.

3. Jos Buttler - 2541 - Such was the gap between the Top 2 and the rest that Buttler's 303 this week still leave shim 173 adrift of second place. He has put a gap of 126 between him and 4th though.

4. Ravindra Jadeja - 2415 - Our star Indian performer moves up a spot courtesy of another 200+ score with the bat.

5. Nat Sciver-Brunt - 2321 - Scored 41 on her return from injury but her points are really dipping since her decision to stop bowling on taking on the England captaincy.

Other Movers

For the second week in a row, Pathum Nissanka scores modestly(118) but still moves up a place (15th)

Ones to Watch

Kane Williamson and YashasviJaiswal are both performing quote inconsistently at the moment. 2 points separate them on the edge of the Top 10.

Top 3 Averages

1. Sam Curran - 160.94 (Down from 164.56)
2. Chamari Athapaththu -143.6
3. Nat Sciver-Brunt – 142.69

Jasprit Bumrah moves up by a huge 14.71 points to 97.91 whilst Nat Sciver-Brunt's decrease by 6.16 is the largest drop....still in the Top 3 though.
