Quinton de Kock - The Best Cricketer of the Week

 


Despite it being a very low scoring week overall - all 7 of our contributors scored over 100. Just a Top three though.

Weekly Top 3

1. Quinton de Kock - 191 - Very much enjoying his time in the CPL. This week's score very much bolstered by the fact he played three games this week but got 40s in two of them.

2. Simon Harmer - 178 - Marked his final outing for Essex this year with four wickets against Sussex. Will be on the domestic scene in South Africa in the coming weeks.

3. Michael Bracewell - 157 - Making the most of it out in the European T20 Premier League. He got 6 wickets across three games for Amsterdam.

Overall Top 5

1. Vaibhav Sooryavanshi - 3840 - 52 runs across both innings in the Duleep Trophy final gave him 102 points. Second place is on his heels though.

2. Simon Harmer-3531- Narrows the gap on first and increases the gap on third. Very well insulated now with 309 above and 402 below.

3. Jos Buttler -3258 - Inactive this week but will soon be back in England colours.....letting the Top 2 drift away though.

4.Harry Brook -2856 - Perhaps would have expected top have registered points this week but the third Test against Pakistan continues to rumble on.

5. Sam Curran - 2732 - Inactive and injured this week - Quinton De Kock is now a feasible threat, 238 points below him in seventh.

Ones to Watch

if Michael Bracewell keeps his form he may do a bit of a mini surge. 235 points split 19th to 15th.

Highest Weekly Average

1. Vaibhav Sooryavanshi = 166.96(Down from 169.91)
2. Simon Harmer = 141.24 (Up from 139.71)
3. Sam Curran = 130.1

Sooryavanshi drops the most this week but still keeps top spot - whilst Pooran's average goes above 100 for the first time this year.

Saim Ayub & Ravindra Jadeja - The Best Cricketers of the Week

 



For the first time in the 8 year history of this, we have a tie in first place.

Weekly Top 5

=1. Ravindra Jadeja - 213 - His return to Test cricket has seen him improve his overall position by two places every week for the last three weeks. Earns his 15th Cricketer of the Week; fourth on the All-Time List with Buttler's 18 his next target.

=1. Saim Ayub = 213 - Grabs his joint top spot berth thanks to a massive century against St Kitts and Nevis overnight. This is his fourth Cricketer of the Week this year, only Sooriyavanshi has more.

3. Harry Brook = 121 - Grabs third spot for his 91 against Pakistan in the first Test.

4. Simon Harmer = 118 - Back to the County Championship and back in the points. 28 runs with 2 wickets and low economies sees him in fourth for the week.

5. Nicholas Pooran - 103 - Continues his phoenix like redemption in the second half of the year, largely solely down to his 43 runs against Antigua and Barbuda. Up a place to 11th overall.

Overall Top 5

1. Vaibhav Sooryavanshi - 3546 - Back in action this week but only 8 runs off the bat in the Duleep Trophy - enigmatically picks up a further 70 points with his bowling.

2. Jos Buttler - 3258 - Inactive this week but just about manages to hold on to second place. Will not be as lucky next week.

3. Simon Harmer - 3225 - Finished fourth for the week and narrows the gap on second spot to 33 points. Has a huge gap of 448 points from fourth.

4. Harry Brook - 2777 - Half way through his summer and has moved up a place to fourth.

5. Sam Curran - 2732 - Inactive this week and only in the Top 5 thanks to a rather subdued performance from Gill in 6th.

Highest Weekly Average

1. Vaibhav Sooryavanshi = 168.86 (Down from 172.9)
2. Simon Harmer = 140.22 (Down from 141.23)
3. Harry Brook = 13224 (Down from 132.8)

Jadeja's high-scoring week moves him up 6.44 points to 129.29. Bracewell scores just one point and unsurprisingly drops the most - down 6.44 to 91.2

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.

Highest Weekly Average

1. Vaibhav Sooryavanshi = 180,88 (Down from 181.94)
2. Nat Sciver-Brunt = 154.57
3. Simon Harmer = 139 ( Up from 139.17)

Gill loses his Top 3 place after leaking 7.44 from hisi average down to 131.63. Pooran is up 6.75 but still has the worst average of 58.08.
