Pathum Nissanka-The Best Cricketer of the Week

 

Calculations were concluded before the end of the England match so NSB's score will role over to next week.

Weekly Top 5

1. Pathum Nissanka - 167 - Finished an impressive few weeks with a stonking score of 107 against India. It was an eye-catching knock that, many people say, might get him an IPL contract next year. He also did it in one T20 game compared to the rest of the Top 5 this week who needed two ODIs or a Four Day game to do less well than him.

2. Annabel Sutherland - 161 - Did not score well in her final warm-up game but came on for a devastating spell to finish New Zealand off in her first World Cup game.

3. Liam Dawson - 109- The leading red ball point scorer added another 109 to his balance in the final County Championship game of the season. Will count himself very lucky that it wasn't the last in Division One.

4. Chamari Athapaththu - 101 - A smidge under a half century in the opening loss to India points to the fact this could be another big tournament for the Lankan. Moves up a place to 15th Overall.

5. Travis Head - 71 - A lean week for point scoring sees a score of less than 100 get you into the Top 5. Could have been more if rain had not interrupted this morning.

Overall Top 5

1. Sam Curran - 4148 - A well earnt rest for a very busy man over the English summer. Seems to be out of action until the beginning of the BBL....but I could be wrong.

2.Jos Buttler - 3807 - A period of time in the wilderness looms for Buttler. I think his next action will be for Durban in the SA20.

3. Liam Dawson- 3722 - A man who is going to have a well earned rest for a bit; potentially all the way up until the SA20.

4.Nat Sciver-Brunt - 3166 - The only member of our Top 5 who is going to be very active over the coming weeks. She has a huge gulf to eat into to move up as there is 556 - the largest gap of any point in the List - between her and third place.

5. Nicholas Pooran - 3096- Inactive this week but also has a very active Ravindra Jadeja 292 points behind him.

Other Movers

Only 50 points this week but is enough to not only see Bumrah off bottom place but up above both Azam and Zampa into 22nd.

Top 3 Averages

1. Sam Curran - 159.94
2.Chamari Athapaththu - 157 (Down from 161.67)
3. Annabel Sutherland - 143.12 (Up from 142)

Sciver-Brunt loses her top three place due to a 5.55 drop down to 137.65. Pathum Nissanka's big week sees him move up to 128.16; an improvement of 2.16.

Nicholas Pooran - The Best Cricketer of the Week

 

Weekly Top 5

1. Nicholas Pooran - 278 - Never really caught fire since the opening salvos of the IPL but has turned it back on with a half century and a century in the MLC this week.

2. Sam Curran - 218 - Scored a century and was not even in the top 3 highest scores in that mammoth Surrey innings this week. Continues his very very strong English summer.

3. Pathum Nissanka - 198 - Another Test match century....followed up by an ODI duck. Has improved his overall score by 459 in the last fortnight.

4. Wanindu Hasaranga - 172 - Has had a torrid last month or two but turned it back on for an ODI against Bangladesh this week with a fourfer and a score of 22 at a decent lick.

5. Liam Dawson - 167 - Overperformed with the bat and underperformed with the ball against Worcestershire this week. 87 runs and a single wicket sees him in the Top 5 once more though.

Overall Top 5

1. Liam Dawson - 2506 - Holds onto first place for a second week. Has reduced his lead on second from 165 to 114 however.

2. Sam Curran - 2392 - His County Championship 100 sees him hold second place for a second week. He has increased his lead on third from 40 to 109.

3. Nat Sciver-Brunt - 2283 - One decent performance and one disappointing one against India this week sees her hold third place. The gap between her and fourth stands at 202; the third largest of any gap on the List. Is now out for, at least, the next game with injury.

4. Jos Buttler - 2081 - Inactive this week and holds on to fourth place by a mere 10 points.

5. Nicholas Pooran - 2071 - His weekly high score sees him move back into the top 5 for the first time in a month. He has an 177 point gap on the inactive Ravindra Jadeja below him.

Other Movers

Fell out of the weekly Top 5 this week but Travis Head's 160 saw him move up two places to 14th.

Top 3 Averages

1. Sam Curran - 159.47 (Up from 155.29)
2. Chamari Athapaththu -143.6
3. Nat Sciver-Brunt – 142.69 (Up from 142.27)

Liam Dawson - The Best Cricketer of the Week

 

Some huge scores this week and some huge lunges up the List.

Weekly Top 5

1. Liam Dawson - 395 - Despite two Tests going on this week, our biggest score came from the little ol' County Championship. A century and a five wickets saw Dawson finish top for the second time this year.

2. Rishabh Pant - 352 - A double century in a Test match would win you Cricketer of the Week 9 weeks out of 10....but this is the tenth week. It does see Pant move up on the Overall List from 21st to 18th.

3. Pathum Nissanka - 261 - Is capable of a huge score but his average points per active week of 98.5 shows that those big scores have been too few and far between. 211 runs against Bangladesh only sees Nissanka move up a solitary place overall - now 19th.

4. Jasprit Bumrah - 190 - Week of two halves for Bumrah. A fivefer in the first England innings and nothing but Economy points in the second innings. Stays in 22nd place Overall.

5. Harry Brook - 139 - A frustrating week, in many ways, for Brook but his almost-century sees him just pip Jaiswal and Jamie Smith to fifth place. All three of those players scored in the 130s this week.

Overall Top 5

1. Liam Dawson - 2239 - Last week I predicted we would have a new Best Cricketer in the World - however I suspected it would be Sam Curran. Instead, it is the Hampshire man who becomes the fifth Number One player of the year.

2. Sam Curran - 2174 - A decent final T20 Blast game was followed by a County Championship game where he was not really called upon - and when he was he scored just 8 runs. Still manages to move up to 2nd.

3. Nat Sciver-Brunt - 2134 - Inactive this week and down to her lowest position for 17 weeks.

4. Jos Buttler - 2081 - Inactive this week and down two places to 4th.

5. Ravindra Jadeja - 1894 - His 106 runs this week was the lowest of any of the England/India players however was enough to see him hold off the MLC contingent from mounting a challenge on the Top 5. Pooran is 101 behind with Klaasen a further 18 adrift.

Other Movers

Jaiswal's wonky performance in the Anderson-TendulkarTrophy saw him fall in 6th place for the week but still rise by three places to tenth on the Overall list. Nicholas Pooran also moved up one place to 6th.

Top 3 Averages

1. Sam Curran - 155.29 (Down from 158.46)
2. Chamari Athapaththu -143.6
3. Nat Sciver-Brunt – 142.27

Rishabh Pant's poor year coupled with his massive score this week sees his average improve by 24.19 points. Klaasen's second poor week in a row sees him move down to 98.61 - down 5.25.
