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.

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.

Highest Weekly Average

1. Vaibhav Sooryavanshi = 192.07 (Up from 180.92)
2. Nat Sciver-Brunt = 163.6
3. Simon Harmer- 134.15 (Down from 141.67)

Liam Dawson dropped the most last week but has mroe than made up for it with a bump of 23.17 to 105.71. Gill is down the most - minus 9.18 to 120.15.

Vaibhav Sooryavanshi - The Best Cricketer of the Week

 

The final full week of the IPL sees the most points scored since February.

Weekly Top 5

1. Vaibhav Sooryavanshi - 337 - Running out of things to say now. Has 5 Cricketer of the Week awards in 5 months. For perspective Kane Williamson spent 5 years in our Lists, Steve Smith and Phil Salt have had 3, Pat Cummins have had 2 ....all have won less times.

2. Sam Curran - 213 - Back with a bang in the Blast. Second place just through batting as he eases himself back into full fitness. Frightening scores for someone performing below his full ability.

3. Paul Walter - 199 - Tall Paul started the week in bottom position but has hauled himself into 21st place courtesy of a week where he scored 109 runs across two Blast games. He even took the ball....admittedly earning nothing from it.

4. Shubman Gill - 186 - Was a massive let down on a poor night for Gujarat in the Qualifier. More than made up for it with a century against Rajasthan. Moves up to 6th spot.

5. Simon Harmer- 176 - Basically got this from 2 games having contributed with neither bat nor ball in Friday's game. T20 isn;t his natural format so a Top 5 finish will do very nicely.

Overall Top 5

1. Vaibhav Sooryavanshi - 2689 - A huge 712 point lead on second now but......the imminent future looks unclear now he is out of the IPL. He has played 14 weeks of cricket this year - the 5th most of anyone. Where and when will he next play as regularly?

2. Jos Buttler - 1977 - 2 games this week and a 100+ score but not the impactful one he needed to force his agenda. Has put a nice little gap on third place though.

3. Simon Harmer - 1700 - Continues his meteoric rise. He only broke into the Top 5 last week and manages to overleap fourth and move into Bronze medal position.

4. Aiden Markram - 1690 - Sat out the end of the IPL and moves down to fourth.

5. Saim Ayub - 1552 - Approaching a month since his last cricket. If Gill scores 39 points in the IPL final he overtakes his rival.

Highest Weekly Average

1. Vaibhav Sooryavanshi = 192.07 (Up from 180.92)
2. Nat Sciver-Brunt = 163.6
3. Simon Harmer- 141.67 - (Up from 138.55)

Having spent two weeks as the biggest loser, Paul Walter moves back to basically the same spot by improving his average by 19.38 this week. Liam Dawson moves down by 4,54 to 82.54.
