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.

Jos Buttler - The Best Cricketer of the Week

 

Weekly Top 5

1. Jos Buttler - 253 - A personally very challenging week for Jos - but he did not let it impact his game. This is his fifth Cricketer of the Week - the same he got last year. He has never had more than 5 in a calendar year.

2. Nat Sciver-Brunt - 240 - Two half centuries in three games has seen NSB hit the ground running in The Hundred. Both of them came with 30 SR points a piece too.

3. Liam Livingstone - 230 - Certainly made a show of the fact he has silenced his critics after his 69 against The Oval. He has moved up two places from second bottom to fourth bottom with this week's haul.

4. Jamie Smith - 200 - Followed up his Cricketer of the Week last week with a round double hundred this week. The highlight of his week was his half century against Trent Bridge.

5. Annabel Sutherland - 188 - After breaking her long fallow period last week, Sutherland hits the Top 5 in her second week. Her highlight with the bat was 51 against London but she certainly helped her cause with 50 Fielding Points.

Overall Top 5

1. Sam Curran - 3312 - Broke his extraordinary run of 11 weeks scoring three figure scores but has a comfortable enough lead of 372 to allow for such slip ups.

2. Liam Dawson - 2940 - Just the two wickets across his three games for London this week...and he has a bit of scoreboard pressure from those below him. Will need a better week this week to keep second.

3. Jos Buttler - 2885 - Moves up a place thanks to his Cricketer of the Week feats. Only 55 points separate him from second place; a berth he lost 2 months ago.

4. Ravindra Jadeja - 2804 - His first inactive until the Asia Cup - I presume. He has a 64 point lead on 5th but then a huge 506 point lead on 6th so might stick around in the Top 5 until then.

5. Nat Sciver- Brunt - 2740 - Her big score this week keeps her in fifth but draws her closer to fourth and puts a massive gulch between the Top 5 and the chase pack - to the tune of 442 points.

Other Movers

Three players moved up a spot this week. Kane Williamson to 6th, Pathum Nissanka to 14th and (perhaps most notably) we have a new name at the foot of the table as Ayub leaves the position he has held for 27 of the last 28 weeks, He is replaced by Adam Zampa.

Ones to Watch

The two players closest to each other this week are both plying their trades captaining in rather unfashionable T20 leagues.Will Kane Williamson's Lodon side see him hold off a returning Nicholas Pooran?

Top 3 Averages

1. Sam Curran - 157.71 (Down from 161.4)
2. Nat Sciver-Brunt – 142.69 (Up from 138.89)
3. Chamari Athapaththu -143.6

Liam Dawson is doen the most - decreasing by 3.94 to 127.85. Perhaps most tellingly, Liam Livingstone's increase of 9.56, the most of anyone, still sees him with the lowest average of our 24 cricketers - 67.44.

Harry Brook - The Best Cricketer of the Week

 

Weekly Top 5

1. Harry Brook - 329 - Would have got to the top spot without his little foray in The Hundred last night. His bumper score sees him move up 5 places to 11th spot. Should move into the Top ten over the coming weeks.

2. Saim Ayub - 203 - His serious injury in the first week of the year and the rehabilitation for it has really affected Ayub, however he contributed all across the board this week for his highest score of 2025.

3. Yashasvi Jaiswal - 150 - Up until this week was a bit of a disappointment in the Test series against England. Of our 7 players to have featured on either side only Bumrah scored fewer runs...for obvious reasons. Finished well though.

4. Sam Curran - 109 - Has carried on his strong form into a third competition of the Summer. This is now his 11th week scoring three figures or more. Last year this was the tournament where he scored the majority of his points so he could be odds on to continue that spell.

5. Ravindra Jadeja - 102 - Our most impressive player over the England/India series ends with a decent 102 which takes him to 1016 points for the series. It is, however, his quietest Test out of the five.

Overall Top 5

1. Sam Curran - 3228 - Marks a month at the top of the list...and it's starting to look a bit foreboding. He scored huge amounts of points in The Hundred last year and already has a lead of 329 points on second - there is no gap bigger on the whole of The List.

2. Liam Dawson - 2899 - Didn't formally feature in the final Test but managed 74 in his first game in the Hundred.

3. Ravindra Jadeja - 2804 - Has used the England/India series to firmly ensconce himself into that Top Three....however might have been hoping for higher. No immediate cricket on the horizon for him however.

4. Jos Buttler - 2632 - A score of 82 this week with just under half of that coming from his glovework....more to come you would think.

5. Nat Sciver-Brunt - 2500 - Inactive this week but will pick up her first points of The Hundred on Friday afternoon when Birmingham play Trent Bridge.

Other Movers

Annabel Sutherland returns to cricket after a huge 19 week gap. The last time she played she was 3rd....her 88 points in The Hundred sees her move up a spot to 19th.

Top 3 Averages

1. Sam Curran - 161.4 (Down from 164.42)
2. Chamari Athapaththu -143.6
3. Nat Sciver-Brunt – 142.69

Harry Brook's blockbuster score sees his average up by 15.11 points - he now averages 117.4 a week. Kane Williamson's change in fortunes sees him drop by 5.85 - down to 114.21.
