Harry Brook - The Best Cricketer of the Week

 


N.B. Calculations do not include Friday's T20 between Australia and India as I had to press go a little earlier than normal.

Weekly Top 5

1. Harry Brook - 239 - In a week of relatively modest scores (both for England and for our players) Brook blew the roof of with the only 200+ score of the week.

2. Nat Sciver-Brunt - 174 - A disappointing end to her first foray into international captaincy. She has scored 648 points across the tournament though so she has had a decent personal campaign.

3. Saim Ayub - 97 - Another alright-ish performance for Ayub. He has, at least, broken his slump of ducks with 37 runs against South Africa. He backed this up with two wickets.

4. Annabel Sutherland - 73 - A rather ignominious end to the World Cup for the player who has scored the most points over the 5 weeks of the tournament (783)

5. Ravindra Jadeja - 66 - A surprise turnout for Saurashtra saw Jadeja register a satisfactory little 66 against Madhya Pradesh.

Overall Top 5

1. Sam Curran - 4199 - A meagre return for Curran in his return to the ODI side as he scored just 33 runs in the only completed match. His lead on second place remains on 345 points though.

2. Jos Buttler - 3854 - Scored just 33 points for England this week and just about holds on to his second-place berth that might have been threatened should things have panned out differently in the Women's World Cup.

3. Nat Sciver - Brunt - 3794 - The gap between NSB and third place that it took the whole of the World Cup for her to just nip into that position on her final week of action. Now has week off before WBBL action for Hobart.

4. Liam Dawson - 3762 - Inactive this week and down a place to 4th - his lowest position for 18 weeks.

5. Ravindra Jadeja - 3325 - Holds fifth spot with absolutely no pressure below him for at least a fortnight where Sutherland could mount a late WBBL resistance.

Other Movers

Both Adam Zampa and Jamie Smith scored very meagrely this week but managed to move up a spot; Zampa to 22nd and Smith to 14th.

Top 3 Averages

1.Chamari Athapaththu - 151,53
2. Sam Curran - 149.48 (Down from 154.3)
3. Annabel Sutherland - 145.48 (Down from 149.1)

Different fates awaited two of our young Englishmen this week. Brook improved the most (up 5.57 points to 116.57) whilst Smith moved down the most; leaking 5.18 points to 111.35.

Nat Sciver-Brunt - The Best Cricketer of the Week

 



Many more points scored this week but from the exact same amount of cricketers. The natural break comes after a Top Three so that is what we shall do.


Weekly Top 3

1. Nat Sciver-Brunt- 237 – Had a (admittedly unimpressive) game washed out but still manages to bag top spot courtesy of a century and a couple of wickets against Sri Lanka.

2. Annabel Sutherland – 230 – Became the top wicket taker of the World Cup this week, largely due to the five-fer she bagged against India.

3. Yashasvi Jaiswal – 213 – Been a bit since he registered an impressive score in Tests but certainly got his dues against West Indies. Moves up three places on the Overall List to 11th.

Overall Top 5

1. Sam Curran – 4148 – Inactive this week but is likely to feature in the T20 series that starts Saturday morning against New Zealand.

2. Jos Buttler- 3807- Inactive this week but will hope to be an instrumental figure in the T20 series that starts Saturday morning against New Zealand.

3. Liam Dawson – 3722 - Inactive this week but may just feature in the T20 series that starts Saturday morning against New Zealand.

4. Nat Sciver – Brunt – 3515 – Despite her weekly high score this week, she just finds herself further sandwiched in fourth place. 207 points separate her from third and 257 from 5th.

5. Ravindra Jadeja – 3258 – His form in the West indies series propels Jadeja into the Top 5 at the expense of Nicholas Pooran.

Other Movers

Two Pakistan players finished off the pace but still managed to move on the Overall List. Saim Ayub continues to improve and moves up to 16th whilst Azam jumps up from bottom place to 22nd after his long respite from Cricket.

Top 3 Averages

1. Sam Curran - 159.94
2.Chamari Athapaththu - 148.29 (Down from 157)
3. Annabel Sutherland - 144.95 (Up from 140.22)

Chamari Athapaththu drops the most - down by 8.71 points but still manages to hold second place. Yashasvi Jaiswal does the best this week with his average up by 5.17 to 109.53.
