Paul Walter - The Best Cricketer of the Week

 

Weekly Top 5

1. Paul Walter - 238 - A phenomenal score for The Hundred's breakout star as he scores 108 runs in two Manchester innings. Jumps a huge 5 spots to 16th on the Overall List.

2. Ravindra Jadeja - 225 - Had been out of action for eleven weeks and subsequently dropped to the bottom of the List...but 225 points moves him up to 20th before a Test series against Sri Lanka.

3. Mehidy Hasan Miraz - 215 - Test warm up games can either be feast or famine ...and the Bangladesh captain certainly tucked in this week against a Cricket Australia XI. Unusually a majority of his points came from the bat.

4. Simon Harmer - 193 - Three One Day Cup Games sees Harmer into the Top 5. The highlight of his week was 32 and a wicket against Durham.

5. Nat Sciver-Brunt - 189 - Is playing so well at the moment. When she enters a tournament or a game she has the skills and acumen to turn it around without breaking sweat. Up to 12th overall.

Overall Top 5

1.Vaibhav Sooryavanshi - 3458 - Will be inactive for at least another fortnight and his lead is now 351.

2. Simon Harmer - 3107 - Moves back into second place - but only has a five point jump on Buttler and has now been knocked out of the One Day Cup

3. Jos Buttler - 3102 - Just 11 points for the new Manchester captain sees him down a place to third. However it is only 5 points and he has at least 1 more game of The Hundred left.

4.Sam Curran - 2732 - A decent score of 162 this week was not enough for Curran's MI London to qualify. He scored 648 points across the tournament.

5.Harry Brook - 2567 - Played three games this week but only had one superhuman effort so remains in fifth with Gill 129 points below him.

Liam Dawson - The Best Cricketer of the Week

 

Overall Top 5

1. Liam Dawson - 385 - Has awoken from his post international malaise and top scored with his first 50 over runs of the year. His 142 against Yorkshire is his highest score of his career.

2. Pathum Nissanka - 383 - Played three games for Sri Lanka this week and got at least a half century in each. His high point was 122 in the second ODI against Zimbabwe. Moves up 3 places to 13th overall.

3. Nicholas Pooran - 277 - Gets a very large score....but also gets it from four T20 game which makes it slightly less impressive. Moves into 6th place and just 60 runs away from an Overall Top 5 assault.

4. Saim Ayub - 244 - Has had a horrid year but certainly looked in good touch this week. He has spent the whole year in 23rd or 24th position...this week he moves up to 21st.

5. Anabel Sutherland - 173 - Finished The Hundred as the highest point scorer on the List and with the trophy in her hands. She ends the tournament only 41 points off Sam Curran's points haul of 897 in the competition.

Overall

1. Sam Curran - 4021 - Straight out of The Hundred and straight into The Blast (admittedly straight out of it too but that's not the point.) The man doesn't rest. His lead is now above half a thousand points once more.

2. Liam Dawson - 3492 - Regains second place and puts 153 points between himself and 3rd courtesy of those two good One Day Cup games.

3. Jos Buttler - 3329 - Surprisingly lost second place despite an average score....not the only disappointment the England man has had this week after his side's insipid showings against South Africa.

4. Nat Sciver-Brunt - 2966 - Inactive this week and retains fourth.

5. Ravindra Jadeja - 2894 - Completes a month of inactivity and has Nicholas Pooran - in fine fettle in the CPL - breathing down his collar. Should be usurped next week.

Other Movers

Only Adam Zampa scored less than Harry Brook this week, however the Englishman's 55 sees him move above Heinrich Klaasen into 9th.

Top 3 Averages

1. Sam Curran - 167.54 (Down from 169)
2. Chamari Athapaththu -143.6
