Liam Dawson - The Best Cricketer of the Week

 


Bit of a lull in points after the IPL but still enough action for a Weekly Top 5

Weekly Top 5

1. Liam Dawson - 408 - In the 14 T20 games that Dawson has played up until this week he has scored 459 points - this week he scored 408 in three. What is more he also moves up an insane 8 places in the Overall List to 7th.

=2. Pathum Nissanka - 99 - Announced he was giving up the LPL to undergo surgery but was fit enough in his half century in Sri Lanka's ODI win over West Indies.

=2. Sam Curran = 99 - After coming out of the block all guns blazing last week he had a more sanguine week this week with one short of a hundred in 3 games.

4. Paul Walter - 81 - Just the single game for Essex this week but another decent score sees him into fourth. He has the 7th most points of anybody since the start of the County Championship.

5. Mehidy Hasan Miraz - 51 - Two wickets and a contribution in the field is enough to get you in the Top 5 in this lean scoring week.

Overall Top 5

1. Vaibhav Sooryavanshi - 2689 - After a very busy 21 weeks, Vaibhav can rest on his 683 point laurels a little bit.

2. Jos Buttler - 2006 - Just 29 points in an underwhelming IPL final for Buttler.....will be back in action over the English summer to continue to put pressure on that top spot.

3. Simon Harmer - 1744 - 44 points in a more characteristic T20 Blast week for Harmer. Zero immediate pressure below him though so no sweat.

4.Aiden Markram - 1591 - Inactive this week but holds 4th place.

5. Saim Ayub - 1591 - Is very thankful that Gill had such a poor IPL final. Holds his place in the top 5 by just 29 points.

Ones To Watch

Curran has so much cricket to play over this Summer and is 2 points away from 8th, 12 away from 7th, 92 from 6th and (more aspirationally) 320 from 3rd.

2. Nat Sciver-Brunt = 163.6
