Nicholas Pooran - The Best Cricketer of the Week

 

Only 9 cricketers register a score this week - will still plough on with a Top 5.

Weekly Top 5

1. Nicholas Pooran - 287 - Continuing his late year revival. No player has scored more than him over the last three weeks (454).This is a man who was in last place 11 weeks ago and 14th 6 weeks ago...he is now 11 points off 7th.

2. Vaibhav Sooryavanshi - 195 -Had a poor time with the bat in his first senior Red Ball game but made up for it this week with 132 to see his East Zone side through to the final on Sunday.

3. Quinton de Kock - 187 - Only one man has more T20 hundreds than QDK...but he would be most proud of his third place finish for the week here. Up to 7th place Overall.

4.Simon Harmer- 128- The third time in arow where Harmer has scored 100+ in active weeks. Got there with just the ball this week having scored just 6 with the bat.

5. Harry Brook - 79 - 49 runs and three contributions in the field for Brook to keep him in the Top 5 for the third week on the bounce.

Overall Top 5

1. Vaibhav Sooryavanshi - 3728 - Moving in on that 4000 point mark - but only extended his lead on second by 8 points this week.

2. Simon Harmer - 3353 - Back up into second place again after losing it last week. Just 95 points between him and third.

3.Jos Buttler - 3258 - Inactive this week but will be back next week with a white ball series against Sri Lanka to get tucked into.

4. Harry Brook - 2856 -553 points separate him from the next active player this week (De Kock in 7th) whilst he needs 402 points to move up in the world. Fairly safe in 4th.

5. Sam Curran - 2856 - Just about holding on to fifth...but might manage to keep the berth for another week.

Saim Ayub & Ravindra Jadeja - The Best Cricketers of the Week

 

For the first time in the 8 year history of this, we have a tie in first place.

Weekly Top 5

=1. Ravindra Jadeja - 213 - His return to Test cricket has seen him improve his overall position by two places every week for the last three weeks. Earns his 15th Cricketer of the Week; fourth on the All-Time List with Buttler's 18 his next target.

=1. Saim Ayub = 213 - Grabs his joint top spot berth thanks to a massive century against St Kitts and Nevis overnight. This is his fourth Cricketer of the Week this year, only Sooriyavanshi has more.

3. Harry Brook = 121 - Grabs third spot for his 91 against Pakistan in the first Test.

4. Simon Harmer = 118 - Back to the County Championship and back in the points. 28 runs with 2 wickets and low economies sees him in fourth for the week.

5. Nicholas Pooran - 103 - Continues his phoenix like redemption in the second half of the year, largely solely down to his 43 runs against Antigua and Barbuda. Up a place to 11th overall.

Overall Top 5

1. Vaibhav Sooryavanshi - 3546 - Back in action this week but only 8 runs off the bat in the Duleep Trophy - enigmatically picks up a further 70 points with his bowling.

2. Jos Buttler - 3258 - Inactive this week but just about manages to hold on to second place. Will not be as lucky next week.

3. Simon Harmer - 3225 - Finished fourth for the week and narrows the gap on second spot to 33 points. Has a huge gap of 448 points from fourth.

4. Harry Brook - 2777 - Half way through his summer and has moved up a place to fourth.

5. Sam Curran - 2732 - Inactive this week and only in the Top 5 thanks to a rather subdued performance from Gill in 6th.

Highest Weekly Average

1. Vaibhav Sooryavanshi = 168.86 (Down from 172.9)
2. Simon Harmer = 140.22 (Down from 141.23)
3. Harry Brook = 13224 (Down from 132.8)

Jadeja's high-scoring week moves him up 6.44 points to 129.29. Bracewell scores just one point and unsurprisingly drops the most - down 6.44 to 91.2

Nat Sciver-Brunt - The Best Cricketer of the Week

 As is often the way after a high point scoring week, this week sees 60 points let you into the Top 5.

Top 5 for the Week

1. Nat Sciver-Brunt - 180 - Positive signs for fans of England as NSB bags a World Cup Warm-Up Match century...she also bowled for the first time since her ascension to the England captaincy. You'd suspect more points to come.

2. Saim Ayub - 133 - Oh...Pakistan wunkerkind Saim Ayub has finished second has he....he must be performing fantastically in the Asia Cup....let me see.....oh! Yet again saves himself with the ball as he turns into a batting allrounder that's crap at batting.

3. Nicholas Pooran - 120- Seems a little disappointing that he did so well in the Qualifier against St Lucia before bombing in the final against Guyana....still his side won though so can't be too bad.

4. Wanindu Hasaranga - 117 - Another 100+ score since his exile from cricket sees Hasaranga move up a place to 15th in what has been a bit of a damp squib for the portly Lankan bowler.

=5. Pathum Nissanka - 60 - His worst week of the Asia Cup sees him sneak into the Top 5, head bowed and shuffling his feet. Still manages to move up to within 4 points of the Top Ten though.

=5. Jasprit Bumrah - 60 - Another comfortable yet rather quiet Asia Cup week for Jasprit; a man who many call the best bowler in the world...but is our lowest point scorer of the year.

Overall Top 5


1. Sam Curran - 4148 - Rested/dropped from the final England T20I against Ireland and therefore inactive this week. Comfortable 341 point lead on second though.

2. Jos Buttler - 3807 - Might as well have not shown up proceedings in Malahide. Added 10 Fielding points to his total after nicking off for a duck.

3. Liam Dawson - 3613 - Bagged two wickets in the final T20I of the English 'summer' to continue his chokehold on third without ever looking like threatening second. He has now spent 11 consecutive weeks in the Top 3.

4. Nat Sciver-Brunt - 3146 - Is about to enter a pretty intense period of cricket, and does it off the back of moving up spot. She will have to go some to eat into the 467 point gap between her and third....but she's capable.

5. Nicholas Pooran - 3096 - Despite winning the CPL and despite finishing third for the week, Pooran still loses ground this week and drops to fifth.

Top 3 Averages

1.Chamari Athapaththu - 161.67
2. Sam Curran - 159.94
3. Nat Sciver-Brunt - 143 (Up from 141.24)

Madly Saim Ayub's average improves the most this week - up 1.94 to 103.94. Pathum Nissanka comes back down to earth with a 5.67 point reduction to 134.96
