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.

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.
