Jasprit Bumrah - The Best Cricketer of the Week

 

After some lean weeks all bur 6 of our players featured this week with 1920 shared between them.

Weekly Top 5

1. Jasprit Bumrah -211- Surprising to say but Bumrah has been something of a disappointment this year. And I don't think we can just blame injury. 211 is his highest score of the year and it sees him rise to 22nd Overall.

2.Ravindra Jadeja - 205 - A complimentary performance with both bat and ball for Jadeja....he did not scare massively with both but when you put them together it is enough for him to get second.

3. Babar Azam - 196 - Finished in the Top 5 last week and now the Top Three this. Dare we dream of a resurgence. The 2020 winner of Cricketer of the Year moves up to 4th from bottom with this week's performance.

4. Wanindu Hasaranga - 185 - Last week's 189 was his best score of the year and he follows it up with only 4 fewer this week. Really is enjoying his time in Pakistan...even if he did lose his contract with Rajasthan this week.

5. Saim Ayub - 145 - Another deceptive week for Ayub. 145 is decent. Fifth place is decent....but this is from three games....for that it seems a little underbaked.

Overall update

Despite 3 of our Top 5 being in action this week, our Top 5 remains unchanged as:

1 Sam Curran 4266
2 Jos Buttler 3912
3 Nat Sciver-Brunt 3888
4 Liam Dawson 3797
5 Ravindra Jadeja 3530

264 points were split (incredibly unevenly) between 3rd, 4th and 5th ....but those gaps are still pretty notable.

Ones to Watch

Big question of the week is whether Ayub can use the Pakistan/Sri Lanka/Zimbabwe tri series to propel himself into the top 10. He is 4 points off 11th, 74 off 10th and 166 off 9th. All eminently possible.

Other Movers

Livingstone posts 141 this week in the Abu Dhabi T10 to see him move up a place to 19th.

Top 3 Averages

1. Sam Curran - 147.1
2.Chamari Athapaththu - 142.24 (Down from 147.81)
3. Annabel Sutherland - 143.13 (Down from 141)

Jasprit Bumrah is the biggest beneficiary this week - up to 92.6 - an improvement of 6.23. Athapaththu moves down the most but still has the second highest overall.

Wanindu Hasaranga - The Best Cricketer of the Week

 

Weekly Top 5

1. Wanindu Hasaranga - 189 - An all round performance courtesy of a three-fer and a half century from the Sri Lankan. Rather tells the tale of his year that this score of 189 is his highest weekly score of the year. For context, the average highest score for the year is 269.64.

2. Rishabh Pant - 169 - Improves on his third place finish last week despite a lower points score. Also jumps a huge three places on the table off of bottom spot. Next up, a Test versus South Africa.

3. Chamari Athapaththu - 92 - Two games this week for the Sydney player. In one she performed with the bat....with the other the ball. Needs to combine those for a really big haul.

4. Nat Sciver-Brunt - 75 - A rather underwhelming performance for NSB this week....perhaps best shown by the fact that 40% of her points came in the field.

5. Babar Azam - 49 - 29 runs and 2 catches in the first ODI against Sri Lanka. Just enough to see him edge into a very low scoring Top 5. Contradictingly he has moved down a place Overall to 22nd.

Overall Top 5

No movement again this week. For the third successive week our Top 5 looks like:

Sam Curran 4266
Jos Buttler 3912
Nat Sciver-Brunt 3864
Liam Dawson 3762
Ravindra Jadeja 3325

Sciver-Brunt doesn't do enough to move into the Top 2 but may do next week whilst Jadeja holds off Sutherland by 223 points.

Top 3 Averages

1.Chamari Athapaththu - 147.81 (Down from 151.53)
2. Sam Curran - 147.1
3. Annabel Sutherland - 141 (Down from 145.48)

A tale of two Sri Lankans today as Hasaranga moves up the most (+4.32 to 98.27) whilst Nissanka moves down the most (-4.96 to 123.2)

James Vince - The Best Cricketer of the Week

 

Weekly Top 5

1. James Vince - 311 - Doing big things in the Abu Dhabi T10 tournament. Is the ninth highest scorer with 148 runs with an average strike rate of 187.34. Basically whenever he plays you're guaranteed at least 50 points. Is guaranteed at least one more game and might have a further 4.

2. Yashasvi Jaiswal - 201 - Got the feeling that his score of 161 was a defining innings in his burgeoning career. Despite that it is only worth silver medal this week. He does move up a place to 8th this week, over-taking his inactive Indian team mate Ravindra Jadeja.

3. Phil Salt - 196 - Registers his fourth three figure score in a row. Has got 892 points in the last month across his 20 over and 10 over commitments with England and Team Abu Dhabi. Started the year slowly but sure is finishing it strongly.

4. Virat Kohli - 155 - A century sees Kohli back in the Top 5 for the first time since July. Such has been his poor form that this is his highest score since May's Yearly Best 244.

5. Mitchell Marsh - 155 - It is telling how bad a 2024 Marsh has had when this is his third highest score of the year. 53 runs and 3 wickets in the loss to India was just enough to keep Jos Buttler in 6th place. He moves up a place on the Overall list to 19th.

Overall Top 5

1. Chamari Athapaththu - 4681 - Registering decent, if not spectacular numbers in the WBBL. Holds top spot for a seventh week. Only Azam's 20 weeks in first place have been longer.

2. James Vince - 4338 - Despite registering the 16th highest score of the year, Vince stays in second place and can only slash the gap on first to 343. More impressively the gap to third place stands at 652.

3. Travis Head - 3686 - Followed up his 6 week absence for cricket with a decent, if not rather underwhelming, 140. Lot of cricket in him yet this year though.

4. Phil Salt - 892 points in a month has seen him go from 13th to 4th. Quite the jump for a guy who took 5 months to break in the Top 10.

5. Sam Curran - Inactive this week and down a place to 5th; his lowest position for 15 weeks. Things could get even worse as he is just 121 points ahead of the next active player Marnus Labuschagne in 7th.

Other Movers

Despite Harry Brook's fairly anodyne 79 against a New Zealand Prime Minister's XI, he still manages to move up 2 places; overtaking the inactive Rachin Ravindra and Simon Harmer,

Top Three Averages

1. Chamari Athapaththu - 167.18 (Down from 168.44)
2. Jos Buttler -143.26 (Up from 142.83)
3. Ravindra Jadeja - 132.39.

James Vince average improves the most up by an impressive 5.44 to 1205, whilst Marnus' poor start to the BGT sees his average decrease to the tune of 3.53. He currently stands at 123.35 a week.
