Simon Harmer - The Best Cricketer of the Week

 


Weekly Top 5.....but kinda 6

1. Simon Harmer - 198 - A five-fer for Harmer against Glamorgan puts him top of the tree for the third time this year. He now clears the board for wicket scoring points this year.

2. Marco Jansen - 181 - Had more cold patches than hot ones in the IPL this year but is now plying his trade in the MLC where he got 4 wickets across 3 games for Washington.

3. Harry Brook - 172 - The perennial vice-captain put an OK showing in during the Second Test against New Zealand. 72 runs plus some extra points sees him in third place.

4. Vaibhav Sooryavanshi - 164 - Warmed up for his call-up to the full India squad with the fastest ever 50 in List A history. Seems like that should be worth more than 40 Strike Rate points but oh well.

=5. Nicholas Pooran - 139 - His travails in the IPL have been well publicised but he seems to have perked up now he is batting against 40 year old Americans. Moved up from bottom spot at the expense of Michael Bracewell.

=5. Rachin Ravindra - 139 - Put his poor first Test behind him with 33 and 76 in the second. He has scored more red call points this week than in his last two red ball games combined.

Overall Top 5

1. Vaibhav Sooryavanshi - 3075 - Sees his monumental lead on second eaten into by a mere 34 points this week.

2. Simon Harmer- 2224 - Moves up into second place thanks to his weekly winning score. One more game in the County Championship before it's back to the Blast.

3. Shubman Gill - 2106 - A victim of his team's dominance against Afghanistan this week. He was needed to bat and just got 20 fielding points. Down a spot.

4. Jos Buttler - 2006 - Retains fifth place despite his inactivity.

5. Aiden Markram - 1690 - Still clinging on to his Top 5 berth. Sam Curran is now only 29 behind him though.

Shubman Gill - The Best Cricketer of the Week

 



Weekly Top 5

1. Shubman Gill - 358 - Two stonking ODI innings for the Indian captain sees him claim his 12th All Time Cricketer of the Week - clear in 6th place. Maxwell with 13 is his next target.

2. Simon Harmer - 256 - One of his big scoring weeks against Leicester sees him get a score that would normally be worth a Cricketer of the Week nod. Had to suffice with the silver medal place instead.

3. Nat Sciver-Brunt - 164 - Two (almost) half centuries in England's World Cup campaign - followed by the news she is out of the next two. When she plays she is devastating but those injuries are a concern.

4. Paul Walter - 162 - It's feast or famine for Tall Paul - and this week he has been eating well courtesy of a century against Leicestershire.

5. Sophie Ecclestone- 130 - has been a very poor year for Ecclestone but this week sees her jump off of bottom spot and into 20th thanks to 100 wickets across two World Cup games.

Overall Top 5

1. Vaibhav Sooryavanshi - 2911 - 59 runs in two ODIs this week saw him finish 6th for the week and continues to push his lead on first up towards the 1000 point mark.

2. Shubman Gill - 2086 - Two weeks ago jumped from 6th to 4th. This week he has done just the same; o'er-leaping third and alighting at second.

3. Simon Harmer - 2026 - Will feel aggrieved to have remained in third despite Jos Buttler finishing below him and having scored a quarter of a thousand points.

4. Jos Buttler - Inactive and down two places to fourth.

5. Aiden Markram - 1690 - Just about holding on to fifth place against despite a month of scoring 0 points.

Highest Weekly Average

1. Vaibhav Sooryavanshi = 181.94 (Down from 186.13)
2. Nat Sciver-Brunt = 154.57 (Up from 153)
3. Shubman Gill = 139.07 (Up from 123.43)

Gill moves up by 15.64 to push into the top three highest average. An underwhelming game from Sam Curran in the County Championship sees him down by 5.77 points to 122.31.

Shubman Gill - The Best Cricketer of the Week

 


Weekly Top 5

1. Shubman Gill - 269 - Bit of a blockbuster week for the Gujarat captain as he scores 149 runs in two games to grab his first Cricketer of the Week in almost two years. He is now joint 6th on the All Time List alongside Moeen Ali and Joe Root with 11.

2. Jos Buttler - 244 - Identical scores of 57 across his two IPL fixtures this week sees Buttler with his biggest score of the year. Really has used the IPL to dispel his World Cup Critics. Nobody has scored more than his 1141 points since the IPL began.

3. Vaibhav Sooryavanshi - 239 - The Vaib Train rumbles on after two weeks of lower scores he is back on the 200+ trail with some fierce batting over his two IPL games.

4.Mehidy Hasan Miraz - 163 - Down on last week's score but was still an instrumental cog in Bangladesh's fifth consecutive Test win. He also is now the highest averaging Red Ball Cricketer on our List with 208 and a half points per Test.

5. Harry Brook - 157 - A rather astonishing turn of events where Brook has scored 4% of his weekly score with the bat and 86% of his total with the ball in hand. All points count....despite how unlikely.

Overall Top 5

1. Vaibhav Sooryavanshi - 2352 - Still keeps his lead close to half a thousand points despite significant movement below him. Shows no sign of allowing anybody else so much as a look in,

2. Jos Buttler - 1870 - Moves up to his highest position so far. Could the 2024 Cricketer of the Year be mounting a return to the top of the tree?

3. Aiden Markram - 1690 - Those poor scores really have caught up with him. Since the start of the IPL he averages just 56.38 points - about the same as Nicholas Pooran (52.75.) Down to 3rd.

4. Saim Ayub - 1591 - Inactive again this week but holds on to 4th.

5. Simon Harmer - 1524 - Rounds off the first block of County Championship game with his most unimpressive score - 75 - but still manages to move into the Top 5 at the expense of the injured De Kock.

Highest Weekly Average

1. Vaibhav Sooryavanshi = 180.92 (Up from 176.08)
2. Nat Sciver-Brunt = 163.6
3. Simon Harmer- 138.55 (Down from 144.9)

Gll's big score sees hm up 14.48 points to 124.18. For the second week in a row Paul Walter's average drops the most - this week down 11.07 to 63.33.

  The Weekly Top 5 1. Jos Buttler- 263 - Perhaps shockingly, this is Buttler's first Cricketer of the Week award this year. His 153runs ...
