Vaibhav Sooryavanshi - The Best Cricketer of the Week

 



One of those weird weeks where everyone plays musical chars. Only 6 of our 22 players stayed in the same place on The Overall List.

Weekly Top 5

1. Vaibhav Sooryavanshi - 256 - Week after week passes and I expect their to be a drop off.....but there just never is. His Strike Rate numbers are absolutely enormous; he has 90 more more than anyone else.

2. Jos Buttler - 233 - Has his best IPL week so far- playing one more game than most helps in that front as well though to be honest. Only Vaibhav has scored more points than him since the start of the IPL.

3. Shubman Gill - 208 Keeps following a pattern of scoring ne stonking score a week and did so again this time out courtesy of a rapid score against Bengalaru yesterday. Moves up 5 places to 12th overall.

4.Michael Bracewell - 165 - Turning into quite a canny little signing for Peshawar. After a big week two weeks ago, he contributed with a score of 85 against Lahore this week.

5. Simon Harmer - 161 - Again, nothing dramatic for Harmer but it is the grind that keeps seeing him move up the List. Averages 158 points per week since the start of the County Championship and is now 7th and 290 points out of the Top 5.

Overall Top 5

1.Vaibhav Sooryavanshi - 2032 - Your semi-regular reminder that we are now a third of the way through the year and Vaibhav has never been out of first position at any point this year....and he now has nearly half a thousand point lead on second. Extra-ordinary.

2. Aiden Markram- 1602 - Another below par IPL week for Markram - although did only play a solitary game. Needs to watch his back.

3. Quinton De Kock - 1470 - Inactive this week after failing to live up to the pyrotechnics of his return to the Mumbai fold a fortnight ago. His Top three berth is in dire jeopardy.

4. Jos Buttler - 1458 - 729 points since the start of the IPL has seen Buttler move from 10th to the cusp of the Top 3.

5. Saim Ayub- 1419 - Is not hugely forcing his agenda in the PSL. 99 points across three games is a disappointment, as his single place decent down the List. That being said there are 263 points between himself and sixth.

Highest Weekly Average

1. Vaibhav Sooryavanshi = 203.2 (Up from 197.73)
2. Nat Sciver-Brunt = 163.6 (Down from 177.75)
3.Quinton De Kock = 133.64

Paul Walter up by 16.42 points to 84.75. Jadeja drops the most - down 15.61 t0 113.25

Michael Bracewell - The Best Cricketer of the Week

 


Weekly Top 5

1, Michael Bracewell - 185 - A relatively impressive all round display from Bracewell sees him earn his first Cricketer of the Week award. Seems to have uncovered some huge hitting potential. Was helped by playing 3 games in the window this week, though.

2 Quinton De Kock - 182 - Has given Mumbai a selection headache to go along with their results headache after scoring a mammoth 112 in the loss to Punjab yesterday.

3. Phil Salt - 135 - Produced one of his decent performances with 78 against Mumbai before clocking up a damp squib against Lucknow. Enough to clinch bronze.

4. Liam Dawson - 124 - His first appearance in a Top 5 this year courtesy of a not very impressive performance against Yorkshire. Almost half of his points this week come from Economy.

5. Jos Buttler - 120 - Another half century for Buttler as he edges his way back towards the Top 5 again.

Overall Top 5

1. Vaibhav Sooryavanshi - 1692 - Despite his score of 0 this week he still claims top spot with a lead of 233 points.

2. Aiden Markram - 1459 - Ticking along nicely for his third week in Top 2. Did not take advantage of a slip up from our current leader but holds off third.

3. Quinton De Kock - 1430 - Back in action after three weeks away and manages to keep his third place berth again.

4. Saim Ayub - 1315 - Played three games this week and got only 106 runs from them but still managed to keep a hold of fourth for a second week.

5.Sam Curran - 1156 - Just about managing to hold on to his Top 5 position with quite a few lining up to replace him.

Ones to Watch

Ravindra Jadeja and Liam Dawson were both mainstays in the Top 5 for almost all of the last year but find themselves lingering outside the Top 10 this year. Only three points split them this week.

Highest Weekly Average

1. Vaibhav Sooryavanshi = 211.5 (Down from 241.71)
2. Nat Sciver-Brunt = 177.75
3.Quinton De Kock = 143 (Up from 138.67)

Michael Bracewell shoots up by 20.5 points to 82 and a half. Vaibhav's 0 sees him plummet by 30.21 points.

Yashasvi Jaiswal - The Best Cricketer of the Week

 


Normal service has resumed after last week’s stopgap with 1325 points split between 14 people.

Weekly Top 5

1. Yashasvi Jaiswal - 196 - Back with a bit of a bang after the break. All too little and too late for Rajasthan but moves himself up two places to 13th on the Overall List. It his first COTW of the year and second of all time.


2. Nicholas Pooran - 191 - 667 in the first 4 weeks of the IPL, 103 in the next 4 weeks and then back to form when it doesn't matter anymore for Lucknow.


3. Babar Azam - 170 - Must have hit the nets during the T20 franchise hiatus. Back with a huge score of 94 against Kaarachi - by some distance his most impressive score of the year. Up 3 places to 10th.


4. Suryakumar Yadav - 123 - Continues his decent IPL. In only two weeks of the tournament has he registered scores not in three figures. Moves up to 8th overall - his highest position of the year.


=5. Pathum Nissanka - 110 - Has been inactive since his domestic double hundred 6 weeks ago and scored a 50 in 21 balls for some big scoring of a different creed as the Major Clubs T20 Tournament.


=5. Jasprit Bumrah - 110 - Just the one game for the Mumbai man but got a perfect score. 3 wickets (and therefore 20 Wicket Bonus Points) and 30 points for Economy.

Overall Top 5

1. Ravindra Jadeja - 1697 - Should count himself very lucky to have got to his hat trick of weeks at Number 1. Only eleven points scored and only 7 points separating him and second place.


2. Nat Sciver-Brunt - 1690 - Back into action this week with a rather unimpressive score of 40 fieldling points. If she had contributed anything with bat or ball she would have reclaimed her hold on top spot....maybe next week.


3. Nicholas Pooran - 1624 - Finished second in the weekly scores which is enough to see him move up one place to third in the Overall List. Bit of a gap between him and 4th.


4. Jos Buttler - 1583 - A relatively fast 33 saw Jos get 73 points this week and drop back a place to 3rd. Soon to leave India and join up with England for the series against West Indie. Should bolster his scores there...depending which Buttler shows up.


5. Chamari Athapaththu - 1436 - inactive this week and moves down a place to 5th. Has Heinrich Klaasen with two matches left in him for Hyderabad breathing down her next with only 35 points of cushion.

Ones to Watch

Keep your eyes on the cluster just outside the Top 10 with 100 points separating Athapaththu, Klaasen and Liam Dawson in 5th, 6th and 7th.

Top 3 Averages

1. Nat Sciver-Brunt – 153.67 ( Down from 165)
2. Chamari Athapaththu - 143.6
3. Nicholas Pooran – 135.33 (Up from 130.27)

NSB leaked 11.36 off her average this week but still is in top spot. The largest improvement was Yahasvi Jaiswal who moves up 8.82 points to 107.82.

Jos Buttler - The Best Cricketer of the Week

  The Weekly Top 5 1. Jos Buttler- 263 - Perhaps shockingly, this is Buttler's first Cricketer of the Week award this year. His 153runs ...
