Michael Bracewell - The Best Cricketer of the Week

 


Overall Top 5

1. Michael Bracewell - 309 - Bit of a cheat this week as I cannot remember somebody playing quite as much cricket in seven days as Bracewell. His pair of ODIs for New Zealand and then two games for Lahore in the Global Super League gives him his second Cricketer of the Week.

2. Sam Curran - 260 - Continuing his fine Summer, as he always does with 120 wicket points and 60 runs across two games in two formats. Lots more to come for him over the next month or two.

3. Nicholas Pooran - 158 - Finding his form again and finishes in the Top 5 for the second week on the bounce. Moves up to 15th overall- his highest position in 6 months. He was in bottom place just 4 weeks ago.

4. Liam Dawson - 124 - Perhaps a surprise to see him in the Top 5 this week but the fact he played three games sees him scrape together enough points for a fourth place berth.

5.Rachin Ravindra - 121 - Two games in two different continents this week as he finished his MLC season with a loss to Los Angeles before starting his Hundred season with a win against the South.

Overall Top 5

1.Vaibhav Sooryavanshi - 3257 - After a sobering debut series against England, Vaibhav made hay in the Zimbabwean sunshine as he got a half century in the first T20.

2. Simon Harmer - 2750 - Inactive this week - and will be until the County Championship kicks off again in about a month. How far will he descent in that time?

3. Jos Buttler - 2610 - A fantastically speedy 41 in the final ODI against India was followed by a pretty pedestrian opening match for Manchester in The Hundred. Holds third for a third week.

4. Shubman Giill - 2384 - Finished the ODI series with yet another half century. Not quite enough to see him improve on his fourth place position which he has now held for three weeks.

5.Sam Curran - 2344 - Takes advantage of his England teammate Harry Brook's poor week to nip into the Top 5. Curran has not been in the top 5 for 13 weeks but he loves The Hundred and could score some big points in coming weeks.

Ones to Watch

There's a real resurgence in the bottom third of the table - thiis can be seen most when we see Ecclestone, Bracewell and Salt all split by 59 points in 18th, 19th and 20th.
