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.

Ravindra Jadeja- The Best Cricketer of the Week

 


Very lean week in terms of contributions but there is a natural gap between the person that finished fifth and the person in 6th so I will do a Top 5 as normal.

Weekly Top 5

1. Ravindra Jadeja – 274 – Clearly likes a bit of responsibility. His first game as vice captain saw him excel with both bat and ball – something he has not done in a while. Another Test started on Friday so more points in the offing.

2. Saim Ayub – 232 – A struggling batter returning back to their domestic league and completely annihilating is a dance as old as time itself. Ayub scored 142 runs this week – this is more than he bagged in the last 5 weeks combined.

3. Nat Sciver-Brunt – 112 – Hasn’t quite hit her staps like we know she is capable of but still a comfortable three figure score in the second week of the World Cup.

4. Jasprit Bumrah – 110 - Felt like he was a bit out of luck in the first Test against West Indies but managed to bag three late wickets in the first innings to scrape a three figure score.

5. Annabel Sutherland- 91 – Bowled superbly in the match against Pakistan but looked like she might need get her just deserts….but managed to bag three late wickets to finish with a decent score.

Overall Top 5

Not much to report this week with only NSB playing.

The Top 5 remains:

1 Sam Curran 4148
2 Jos Buttler 3807
3 Liam Dawson 3722
4 Nat Sciver-Brunt 3278
5 Nicholas Pooran 3096

Jadeja is only 18 points off 5th so expect changes next week.

Top 3 Averages

1. Sam Curran - 159.94
2.Chamari Athapaththu - 157 (Down from 161.67)
3. Annabel Sutherland - 140.22 (Down from 143.12)

Saim Ayub's return to form sees his average improve by 7.37 point to 106.61. Travis Head's damp squib versus New Zealand sees him drop by 3.5, down to 87.95.
