Nicholas Pooran - The Best Cricketer of the Week

 




Weekly Top 5

1. Nicholas Pooran - 278 - Never really caught fire since the opening salvos of the IPL but has turned it back on with a half century and a century in the MLC this week.

2. Sam Curran - 218 - Scored a century and was not even in the top 3 highest scores in that mammoth Surrey innings this week. Continues his very very strong English summer.

3. Pathum Nissanka - 198 - Another Test match century....followed up by an ODI duck. Has improved his overall score by 459 in the last fortnight.

4. Wanindu Hasaranga - 172 - Has had a torrid last month or two but turned it back on for an ODI against Bangladesh this week with a fourfer and a score of 22 at a decent lick.

5. Liam Dawson - 167 - Overperformed with the bat and underperformed with the ball against Worcestershire this week. 87 runs and a single wicket sees him in the Top 5 once more though.

Overall Top 5

1. Liam Dawson - 2506 - Holds onto first place for a second week. Has reduced his lead on second from 165 to 114 however.

2. Sam Curran - 2392 - His County Championship 100 sees him hold second place for a second week. He has increased his lead on third from 40 to 109.

3. Nat Sciver-Brunt - 2283 - One decent performance and one disappointing one against India this week sees her hold third place. The gap between her and fourth stands at 202; the third largest of any gap on the List. Is now out for, at least, the next game with injury.

4. Jos Buttler - 2081 - Inactive this week and holds on to fourth place by a mere 10 points.
