Sam Curran - The Best Cricketer of the Week

 

Weekly Top 5

1. Sam Curran - 301 - Before this week, Curran's best score of the week was 176, this week he nearly doubled that courtesy of 161 runs in 2 games in the T20 Blast. Becomes the third player to win three Cricketers of the Week across more than one year alongside Head and Handscomb.

2. Travis Head - 208 - Two identical scores in two MLC games this week. He scored 54 at a SR of 150+ scoring 104 points against Los Angeles and then scored 54 at a SR of 150+ scoring 104 points against New York. Consistent.

3. Moeen Ali - 195 - Enjoying his domestic cricket once more...but has very much been helped by the fact he has played three games across the week. His high point was 59 off the bat against Derbyshire.

4. Marnus Labuschagne - 173 - Continues his love affair with the English domestic game with his fourth successive score of 100 or more. Since joining up with Glamorgan he has averaged 171.77 points a week.

5. Yashasvi Jaiswal - 165 - Was lighting up our lists on a week by week basis before his total omission from a majority of the T20 World Cup. Is now back in fine fettle most notably in his score of 93 against Zimbabwe this week.

Overall Top 5

1. James Vince - 2833 - A second week in top spot this week courtesy of his fifth 100+ scoring week since the start of the English Domestic season.

2. Babar Azam - 2647 - Only bottom placed Usman Khawaja has been inactive longer than Babar Azam, he spends another week in second after losing top spot last week.

3. Chamari Athapaththu - 2574 - Inactive again this week but will be back in action in the Women's Asia Cup this week. Will be looking up the table rather than down due to the 73 point gap to 2nd slightly more pressing than the 320 gap below her.

4. Marnus Labuschagne - 2254 - Has inflated his total by 1546 in the ten weeks since the start of the English Domestic season. Jumps up another place to 4th.

5. Travis Head - 2221 - Spent a solitary week out of 5th spot before reclaiming it again this week. He has spent 6 weeks in 5th place this year. Three further weeks and he usurps Jadeja who has spent 9 weeks there.

Hardik Pandya - The Best Cricketer of the Week

 

Weekly Top 5

1. Hardik Pandya - 196 - Injury has hampered Hardik this year but every now and then you get a glimpse of him at his best. This week it was in one of his three games against the West Indies where he got 70*. It is his second Cricketer of the Week accolade this year.

2. Shakib Al Hasan - 193 - Last week he was playing for Montreal in the Global T20 Canada league, he has seemingly dumped them to go and play for Galle in the LPL. Has started very well with 53 runs and three wickets in his opening two games.

3. Moeen Ali - 173 - This was his highest score in any of the Ashes Tests. Not expecting to play Test Cricket 6 weeks ago he now has more Test Match points than Devon Conway, David Warner, Shubman Gill, Marco Jansen, Babar Azam, Shakib Al Hasan & Suryakumar Yadav.

=4. Jonny Baistow - 172 - When Bairstow plays well England win. That may very well be a coincidence but worked himself into form at the same time as England began to look ascendant.

=4. Shubman Gill - 172 - 2 months ago, Gill looked a world beater in all formats...then he has fallen away. This week he sorted out his ODI form which has seen him pop back into the Weekly Top 5 once more.

Overall Top 5

1. Shakib Al Hasan - 3532 - Lost his top place spot to Shubman Gill 11 weeks ago, he edges ahead of Simon Harmer this week to take a 79 point lead into Week 32 of the year.

2. Simon Harmer - 3453 - Only took first place last week, he picked the wrong time to take a rest. He is likely to play some part in the One Day Cup campaign soon.

3. Shubman Gill - 3265 - A decent score this week sees him arrest his slide down the table. Needs to sort his T20 form out in order to keep the wolves from the door.

4. Ravindra Jadeja - 3135 - A disappointing final two ODIs from Jadeja, but he manages to hold onto fourth place for a second week.

5. Rashid Khan - 3135 - Put in his best showing in the final of the MLC, however is now out of The Hundred tournament with an 'unspecified injury'. Buttler and Curran, who will both feature in the tournament, are 47 and 130 points behind him respectively.

Other Movers

Brook and Khawaja were the ones to watch last week. They scored 3 points different to each other and both shuffled up a place into 14th and 15th. Green drops two places to make way.

Top 3 Averages

1. Shakib Al Hasan - 185.89 (Up from 185.5)
2. Simon Harmer - 172.65 (Up from 153.68)
3. Ravindra Jadeja - 165 (Down from 170.94)

Jadeja's drop of 5.94 points is the largest of the week whilst Bairstow's improvement of 8 points is the best improvement.
