Michael Bracewell - The Best Cricketer of the Week

 


Overall Top 5

1. Michael Bracewell - 309 - Bit of a cheat this week as I cannot remember somebody playing quite as much cricket in seven days as Bracewell. His pair of ODIs for New Zealand and then two games for Lahore in the Global Super League gives him his second Cricketer of the Week.

2. Sam Curran - 260 - Continuing his fine Summer, as he always does with 120 wicket points and 60 runs across two games in two formats. Lots more to come for him over the next month or two.

3. Nicholas Pooran - 158 - Finding his form again and finishes in the Top 5 for the second week on the bounce. Moves up to 15th overall- his highest position in 6 months. He was in bottom place just 4 weeks ago.

4. Liam Dawson - 124 - Perhaps a surprise to see him in the Top 5 this week but the fact he played three games sees him scrape together enough points for a fourth place berth.

5.Rachin Ravindra - 121 - Two games in two different continents this week as he finished his MLC season with a loss to Los Angeles before starting his Hundred season with a win against the South.

Overall Top 5

1.Vaibhav Sooryavanshi - 3257 - After a sobering debut series against England, Vaibhav made hay in the Zimbabwean sunshine as he got a half century in the first T20.

2. Simon Harmer - 2750 - Inactive this week - and will be until the County Championship kicks off again in about a month. How far will he descent in that time?

3. Jos Buttler - 2610 - A fantastically speedy 41 in the final ODI against India was followed by a pretty pedestrian opening match for Manchester in The Hundred. Holds third for a third week.

4. Shubman Giill - 2384 - Finished the ODI series with yet another half century. Not quite enough to see him improve on his fourth place position which he has now held for three weeks.

5.Sam Curran - 2344 - Takes advantage of his England teammate Harry Brook's poor week to nip into the Top 5. Curran has not been in the top 5 for 13 weeks but he loves The Hundred and could score some big points in coming weeks.

Ones to Watch

There's a real resurgence in the bottom third of the table - thiis can be seen most when we see Ecclestone, Bracewell and Salt all split by 59 points in 18th, 19th and 20th.

Highest Weekly Average

1. Vaibhav Sooryavanshi = 171.42 (Down from 174.28)
2. Simon Harmer = 144.74
3. Nat Sciver-Brunt = 138

Bracewell's average improves by 19.66 (having also swelled by 13.37 the week before. Harry Brook drops out of the Top 3 having lost 6.94 from his average.

Quinton De Kock - The Best Cricketer of the Week

 


WeeklyTop 5

1. Quinton De Kock - 214 - Back to decent T20 performances over in America. 114 runs with 70 Strike Rate points across three games for MI New York sees him with his highest score since the end of January.

2. Harry Brook-159 - A deceptively good performance in terms of metrics for Brook. In fact, despite the historically poor series against New Zealand, only Harmer and Gill have scored more points than Brook since the start of the first Test.

3. Paul Walter- 151 - Tall Paul's yo-yo-ing form continues to do just that with a big score this week. Strap yourself in for a meagre one next week. This week he scored Essex's fastest ever half century in 18 balls.

4.Nat Sciver-Brunt- 145 - Captain Fantastic is back with a match-winning performance over South Africa to take England to the World Cup final. Captivating stuff.

5.Nicholas Pooran - 145 - Making hay in the New York sun with a second Top 5 finish in a week. Pulls himself up to 19th - a position he has been no higher than since the end of January.

Overall Top 5

1. Vaibhav Sooryavanshi - 3075 - Inactive for only the second time in the last thirteen weeks. His lead now a 'mere'764 points.

2. Simon Harmer - 2311 - Harmer never sets the world alight in Blast weeks and this was no different with 87 points in two games.

3.Shubman Gill - 2106 - Inactive this week and holds off fourth place by 80 points.

4. Jos Buttler - 2026 - A rare T20 Blast outing before a washed out England game sees Buttler back in action for the first time since the IPL. Holds fourth for the third week in a row.

5. Quinton De Kock - 1761 - A phenomenal bump up the table as QDK goes from 10th to reclaim a Top 5 spot he lost 6 weeks ago.

Highest Weekly Average

1. Vaibhav Sooryavanshi = 180,88
2. Nat Sciver-Brunt = 153.38 (Down from 154.57)
3. Simon Harmer = 135.95 (Down from 139)

QDK's renaissance week sees him up 6.34 points to 135.46 whilst Curran's solitary T20 matches sees him leak 6.64 to 112 a week.

Simon Harmer - The Best Cricketer of the Week

 


Weekly Top 5.....but kinda 6

1. Simon Harmer - 198 - A five-fer for Harmer against Glamorgan puts him top of the tree for the third time this year. He now clears the board for wicket scoring points this year.

2. Marco Jansen - 181 - Had more cold patches than hot ones in the IPL this year but is now plying his trade in the MLC where he got 4 wickets across 3 games for Washington.

3. Harry Brook - 172 - The perennial vice-captain put an OK showing in during the Second Test against New Zealand. 72 runs plus some extra points sees him in third place.

4. Vaibhav Sooryavanshi - 164 - Warmed up for his call-up to the full India squad with the fastest ever 50 in List A history. Seems like that should be worth more than 40 Strike Rate points but oh well.

=5. Nicholas Pooran - 139 - His travails in the IPL have been well publicised but he seems to have perked up now he is batting against 40 year old Americans. Moved up from bottom spot at the expense of Michael Bracewell.

=5. Rachin Ravindra - 139 - Put his poor first Test behind him with 33 and 76 in the second. He has scored more red call points this week than in his last two red ball games combined.

Overall Top 5

1. Vaibhav Sooryavanshi - 3075 - Sees his monumental lead on second eaten into by a mere 34 points this week.

2. Simon Harmer- 2224 - Moves up into second place thanks to his weekly winning score. One more game in the County Championship before it's back to the Blast.

3. Shubman Gill - 2106 - A victim of his team's dominance against Afghanistan this week. He was needed to bat and just got 20 fielding points. Down a spot.

4. Jos Buttler - 2006 - Retains fifth place despite his inactivity.

5. Aiden Markram - 1690 - Still clinging on to his Top 5 berth. Sam Curran is now only 29 behind him though.

Highest Weekly Average

1. Vaibhav Sooryavanshi = 180,88 (Down from 181.94)
2. Nat Sciver-Brunt = 154.57
3. Simon Harmer = 139 ( Up from 139.17)

Gill loses his Top 3 place after leaking 7.44 from hisi average down to 131.63. Pooran is up 6.75 but still has the worst average of 58.08.
