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.

Simon Harmer - The Best Cricketer of the Week

 Weekly Top 5

1.Simon Harmer - 320 - Now he's back. 100 wicket points plus 100 points with the bat plus the usual 60 Economy points. Prime Harmer-ism.

3. Shubman Gill - 159 - Continues his patter of one decent innings with one underhwleming one. His 84 against Rajasthan is enough for Top 3 this week. Up to 12th Overall.

4. Harry Brook -126 - Back in action after nine weeks away from the game. 66 runs and a random 30 for Economy sees him gatecrash the Top 5.

5. Liam Dawson - 119 - Dawson finishes fifth with, what appears to be, his last ever Red Ball game after his shock long form retirement this week.

Overall Top 5

1.Vaibhav Sooryavanshi - 2113 - 77 points this week and the wee man increases his lead on second by 74. With 37% of the year, is it possible he could lead wire to wire?

3.Jos Buttler - 1626 - His 90 points were enough to see him take back the third place position he lost last week. A huge 70 points came from the field this week.

4.Saim Ayub - 1591 - His first inactive week after the PSL and he slips back down to 4th.

5.Quinton De Kock - 1470 - Still out of the Mumabi side. Still just about fifth. 21 points between himself and Simon Harmer in 6th.

2. Nat Sciver-Brunt = 163.6
3. Simon Harmer- 144.9 (Up from 125.44)

Mehidy Hasan Miraz - The Best Cricketer of the Week

 

Weekly Update

1.Mehidy Hasan Miraz - 206 - MHM was the winner of one of the most unedifying Cricketers of the Week earlier this year when he got a score of 131 in a week where only two players featured. This one is more earned.....despite playing three games when most played two.

2.Ravindra Jadeja - 162 - Had a bit of a flat IPL so far but had two decent fixtures this week courtesy of two wickets against Kolkata and 43 runs vs Lucknow.

=3. Shubman Gill - 150 - 100 runs across two games this week continues his decent IPL spell. Does not manage to move up from 17th place overall however.

=3.Simon Harmer - 150 - We are still not at vintage Harmer levels - especially not with the ball - but the South African is certainly contributing with the bat for Essex.

5.Liam Dawson - 144 - 3 wickets and some choking economy in a thriller vs Somerset puts Dawson in 5th place this week.

Overall Top 5

1.Vaibhav Sooryavanshi - 1776 - Not exploding like he was in his opening figure but is still sizzling away. 84 points this week is still more than anyone else in the Top 5 from last week scored.

2. Aiden Markram - 1541 - 42 runs across two fixtures this week is not putting much pressure on first place. Has 71 points between himself and third.

3.Quinton de Kock - 1470 - Exploded back into IPL action last week but only got 40 points in two fixtures this week. Still, a healthy 150 point gap between him and fourth.

4. Saim Ayub - 1320 - Only 5 points this week as he failed to impress in his solitary match for Hyderabad in the PSL this week. Manages to hold 4th for a third week.

5. Jos Buttler - 1225 - Debuted in Week 1 in fifth place and drifted as low as tenth. Returns to claim his place courtesy of his IPL form.

Ones To Watch

Test superstars Ravindra Jadeja and Travis Head are struggling overall this year. Only one point splits them between 11th and 12th.

1. Vaibhav Sooryavanshi = 197.73 (Down from 211.5)
