Nat Sciver-Brunt - The Best Cricketer of the Week

 

Many more points scored this week but from the exact same amount of cricketers. The natural break comes after a Top Three so that is what we shall do.

Weekly Top 3

1. Nat Sciver-Brunt- 237 – Had a (admittedly unimpressive) game washed out but still manages to bag top spot courtesy of a century and a couple of wickets against Sri Lanka.

2. Annabel Sutherland – 230 – Became the top wicket taker of the World Cup this week, largely due to the five-fer she bagged against India.

3. Yashasvi Jaiswal – 213 – Been a bit since he registered an impressive score in Tests but certainly got his dues against West Indies. Moves up three places on the Overall List to 11th.

Overall Top 5

1. Sam Curran – 4148 – Inactive this week but is likely to feature in the T20 series that starts Saturday morning against New Zealand.

2. Jos Buttler- 3807- Inactive this week but will hope to be an instrumental figure in the T20 series that starts Saturday morning against New Zealand.

3. Liam Dawson – 3722 - Inactive this week but may just feature in the T20 series that starts Saturday morning against New Zealand.

4. Nat Sciver – Brunt – 3515 – Despite her weekly high score this week, she just finds herself further sandwiched in fourth place. 207 points separate her from third and 257 from 5th.

5. Ravindra Jadeja – 3258 – His form in the West indies series propels Jadeja into the Top 5 at the expense of Nicholas Pooran.

Other Movers

Two Pakistan players finished off the pace but still managed to move on the Overall List. Saim Ayub continues to improve and moves up to 16th whilst Azam jumps up from bottom place to 22nd after his long respite from Cricket.

Top 3 Averages

1. Sam Curran - 159.94
2.Chamari Athapaththu - 148.29 (Down from 157)
3. Annabel Sutherland - 144.95 (Up from 140.22)

Chamari Athapaththu drops the most - down by 8.71 points but still manages to hold second place. Yashasvi Jaiswal does the best this week with his average up by 5.17 to 109.53.

Kane Williamson - The Best Cricketer of the Week

 

After the profligate last fortnights worth of updates only 807 points were shared between 7 cricketers this week - only merits a Top Three in my eyes.

Weekly Top 3

1. Kane Williamson - 277 - Featured in his first red Ball match of the year this week and hardly looked like he had been away by scoring 154 points to add to his 123 from a T20 Blast game against Glamorgan. Up to 8th Overall.

2. Nat Sciver-Brunt - 179 - Back to decent scores with the bat after her injury niggles that knocked her out of the back end of the T20 series. Got 119 runs across the two ODIs this week.

3. Sam Curran - 144 - Can't keep Curran down this Summer. After having done so well with the bat thus far, he chips in with a four-fer before the T20 Blast hiatus. He also reclaims the highest Short Form Point scorer from Nicholas Pooran.

Overall Top 5

1. Sam Curran - 2880 - Curran marks his ninth successive week of triple figure scores with his second week in top spot. He has 166 points on second place.

2. Liam Dawson - 2714 - Inactive this week but in anticipation of Test points next week.

3. Jos Buttler - 2550 - Only 9 points in the final game before the break for the T20 Blast but holds third place for a successive week.

4. Nat Sciver-Brunt - 2500 - Two decent ODIs sees her address her descent down the list and move back up into 4th.

5. Ravinfra Jadeja - 2415 - Inactive this week but is facing zero pressure below him - he has 441 points between himself and the next active player; Phil Salt in 7th.

Other Movers

Salt would be especially diapointed with just 70 points from a T20 game and a First class outing - but he still manages to move up a place into 7th.

Top 3 Averages

1. Sam Curran - 160 (Down from 160.94)
2. Chamari Athapaththu -143.6
3. Nat Sciver-Brunt – 142.69

Williamson's big haul sees his average improve by 10.12 points - he nwo has a very decent 115.18 a werk. Buttler's poor week sees his avergae drop to 127.7 - a reduction of 6.24.

Jamie Smith - The Best Cricketer of the Week

 

Bumper week with 2649 points scored - the highest of any week of the year.

Weekly Top 5

1. Jamie Smith - 402 - Of course it's Jamie Smith. His score of 402 is the second highest score of the year to date and sess him move from 20th to 15th on the Overall List.

2. Ravindra Jadeja - 268 - A weird one for Jadeja who scores just 70 points from his bowling and the other 198 for a batting performance where he bagged 89 + 69.

3. Phil Salt - 265 - Scored 145 runs across three T20 Blast to return from his post-IPL lull with a bang. Manages to move up to 8th after ending the IPl in 9th. Must be that magic bat of his.

4. Sam Curran - 241 - The Surrey captain has now scored 7 successive 3 figure scores and his second successive score of 200+. Over the last 7 weeks he averages 203.14 points per week. Not too shabby at all.

5. Harry Brook - 231 - A huge score of 158 in the first innings - and then a bit of a damp squib in the second sees Brook just about scrape into the Top 5. Have no data on it but I would imagine this is one of the highest fifth place scores we've ever had

Overall Top 5

1. Liam Dawson - 2644 - 5 wickets across two games for Hampshire has seen Dawson just about hold on to top spot. His lead on second is just 11 points.

2. Sam Curran - 2633 - Has been getting incrementally closer to top spot week after week and is now within a nose. Only 11 points separate him and the Number One spot.

3. Nat Sciver-Brunt - 2283 - Out of action all this week with injuries but is expected to be back in action of the ODI series against India this week. Needs to go well as there are necks being breathed down.

4. Jos Buttler - 2238 - Back in action this week after a three week sabbatical. He was in second the last time he hit a ball in anger and, this week, holds onto fourth for the third week on the bounce.

5. Ravindra Jadeja - 2162 - Lost his top five berth in his off week, has claimed it back quite emphatically in his on week. Has an ongoing Test to cash in next Friday but also has Pooran just 18 points behind him. That Top 6 is starting to look a little isolated though.

Other Movers

Pathum Nissanka is the biggest mover - despite only getting 132 this week he moves up 3 places to 16th. Jaiswal also moves up one place to 10th.

Top 3 Averages

1. Sam Curran - 164.56 (Up from 159.47)
2. Chamari Athapaththu -143.6
3. Nat Sciver-Brunt – 142.69

Having been the largest beneficiary last week, Pooran now drops the most (-3.32 to 126.12). Harry Brook's massive score this week sees his average up by a stonking 28.34. He now scorres 120.64 points a week.
