Travis Head - The Best Cricketer of the Week

 


Overall Top 5 

1. Travis Head - 218 - Head was the biggest beneficiary from the dead rubber ODI where South Africa handed out centuries like they were free samples. He moves up three places courtesy of this, his first Cricketer of the Week of the year.

2. Annabel Sutherland - 217 - Only Sam Curran and Harry Brook have scored more points during The Hundred than the Aussie allrounder. Over that time she has moved from 19th to 13th overall.

3. Jos Buttler - 165 - Started The Hundred in dodgy form but has worked his way back to his best. This is his third successive week in the Weekly Top 5.

4. Harry Brook - 156 - Was the standout man in that standout game against The Oval this week. He has at least one more game in The Hundred to keep up his good Summer.

5. Kane Williamson - 156 - Has maybe flown under the radar a little during his inaugural season captaining London but ends the tournament with 364 points. This was his highest scoring week courtesy of a half century against the South.

Overall Top 5

1. Sam Curran - 3887 - Outside the Top 5 for weekly scores this week but still has a triple figure points score for the week and a 694-point lead in the top spot.

2. Jos Buttler - 3193 - Another good week for Buttler allows him to keep his second place position for a second week.

3. Liam Dawson - 3097 - Had his best week of The Hundred with five wickets across 2 games for London. Holds third place for a second week.

4. Nat Sciver-Brunt - 2966 - The Hundred's second highest run scorer got another 90 this week. With no pressure below her, her lead on fifth is now 162.

5. Ravindra Jadeja - 2804 - Inactive for a third week. His lead on sixth place 279 is still second highest on any other position on The List.

Other Movers

Whilst the entire Top Ten remained static there was plenty of movement from the bottom half. Jamie Smith, Liam Livingstone and Adam Zampa all moved up a place to 11th, 18th and 22,d respectively.

Top 3 Averages

1. Sam Curran -  169 (Down from 170) 
2. Chamari Athapaththu -143.6
3. Nat Sciver-Brunt – 141.24 (Down from 141.3) 

Travis Head's weekly high score sells his average by 6.97 to a (still unimpressive) 92.53. Heinrich Klaasen's poor Hundred campaign sees his average drop to 90.96.

Sam Curran - The Best Cricketer of the Week

 


Weekly Top 5

1. Sam Curran - 428 - Last August Curran scored the highest score of 2024...he may have just done the same thing for this year. Bloody loves The Hundred. This is his fourth Cricketer of the Week of 2025 making this his most successful year of his three on The List.

2. Liam Livingstone - 211- Using The Hundred as something of a redemption for what has been a pretty dire year. Has registered 441 points in the last 2 weeks and has gone up from 23rd to 19th in that time.

3. Annabel Sutherland - 190 -Another Top 5 score for the Aussie as she marks her return to cricket in style. She has moved up from 19th at the start of the competition to 14th now.

4. Jos Buttler - 143 - Continues his strong showing in The Hundred with a half century against the North to register back to back triple figure point scores.

5. Travis Head - 133 - Back in the Top 5 after a spell away but his score this week is from three matches so 133 seems rather underbaked. Add into this that almost half of that is from a very unusual 4-fer then there is some real questions about his batting.

Overall Top 5

1. Sam Curran - 3740- At the start of the week he had a lead of 340 on second place. He then scores the joint 17th highest score that anyone has scored in the seven and a half years we've done this and now has a gap of 712 on the chasing pack.

2. Jos Buttler - 3028 - Has used his impressive form in The Hundred to force his way up to second place. He will soon be joining back up with England for the final third of the year so could well launch an assault on the top spot.

3. Liam Dawson - 2972 - Seems like his spell with the England Test side kinda broke him. Before that foray against India he registered 139.42 points an active week...since then just 64.6. He is subsequently down a position.

4. Nat Sciver-Brunt - 2826 - After her great start to The Hundred, she had a quieter week this week...but still managed to move up a place to fourth.

5. Ravindra Jadeja - 2804 - Inactive again but a gap of 433 between himself and Kane Williamson in 6th.

Other Movers

Harry Brook scores 101 this week and manages to break the Top 10 for the first time. Adam Zampa bags just 91 points from a T20 and an ODI versus West Indies but still relegates Saim Ayub back into bottom spot.

Top 3 Averages

1. Sam Curran - 170 (Up from 157.71)
2. Chamari Athapaththu -143.6
3. Nat Sciver-Brunt – 141.3 (Down from 142.69)

Sam Curran already had the best average and then scores nearly half a thousand points a week. Nicholas Pooran's poor start to the CPL sees his average drop by 4.95 to 122.11 a week.

Harry Brook - The Best Cricketer of the Week

 


Weekly Top 5

1. Harry Brook - 329 - Would have got to the top spot without his little foray in The Hundred last night. His bumper score sees him move up 5 places to 11th spot. Should move into the Top ten over the coming weeks.

2. Saim Ayub - 203 - His serious injury in the first week of the year and the rehabilitation for it has really affected Ayub, however he contributed all across the board this week for his highest score of 2025.

3. Yashasvi Jaiswal - 150 - Up until this week was a bit of a disappointment in the Test series against England. Of our 7 players to have featured on either side only Bumrah scored fewer runs...for obvious reasons. Finished well though.

4. Sam Curran - 109 - Has carried on his strong form into a third competition of the Summer. This is now his 11th week scoring three figures or more. Last year this was the tournament where he scored the majority of his points so he could be odds on to continue that spell.

5. Ravindra Jadeja - 102 - Our most impressive player over the England/India series ends with a decent 102 which takes him to 1016 points for the series. It is, however, his quietest Test out of the five.

Overall Top 5

1. Sam Curran - 3228 - Marks a month at the top of the list...and it's starting to look a bit foreboding. He scored huge amounts of points in The Hundred last year and already has a lead of 329 points on second - there is no gap bigger on the whole of The List.

2. Liam Dawson - 2899 - Didn't formally feature in the final Test but managed 74 in his first game in the Hundred.

3. Ravindra Jadeja - 2804 - Has used the England/India series to firmly ensconce himself into that Top Three....however might have been hoping for higher. No immediate cricket on the horizon for him however.

4. Jos Buttler - 2632 - A score of 82 this week with just under half of that coming from his glovework....more to come you would think.

5. Nat Sciver-Brunt - 2500 - Inactive this week but will pick up her first points of The Hundred on Friday afternoon when Birmingham play Trent Bridge.

Other Movers

Annabel Sutherland returns to cricket after a huge 19 week gap. The last time she played she was 3rd....her 88 points in The Hundred sees her move up a spot to 19th.

Top 3 Averages

1. Sam Curran - 161.4 (Down from 164.42)
2. Chamari Athapaththu -143.6
3. Nat Sciver-Brunt – 142.69

Harry Brook's blockbuster score sees his average up by 15.11 points - he now averages 117.4 a week. Kane Williamson's change in fortunes sees him drop by 5.85 - down to 114.21.
