2025 All Year Fantasy Competition

[The Professor]

Weekly Top 5

1. Kane Williamson - 283 - Has burst into life at just the right time to help New Zealand to surge into the Champions Trophy final. Despite being in our lists for 5 (non-consecutive) years, this is only the second time he has top-scored for the week.

2. Heinrich Klaasen - 137 - Hampered by injury at the start of the tournament but left his mark on the tournament with a half century against England.

3. Ravindra Jadeja - 118 - Slim pickings for Jadeja again this week, only bolstered by the fact he has played two games.

4. Nat Sciver-Brunt - 115 - Not as prodigious as the last fortnight but still her 4th successive active week of scores in the hundreds.

5. Chamari Athapaththu - 71 - Back in action after a non-starter of a WIPL; the theme continued with a wash out in the first ODI against New Zealand but two wickets see her back on the board once more.

Overall Top 5

1. Nat Sciver-Brunt - 1176 - A second week in top spot for NSB. Her Mumbai team are in good form and that is largely down to her.

2. Kane Williamson - 1027 - Just as last week saw Nat Sciver Brunt surge up the table, Williamson has done the same. He was in 7th last week and has now surged up to second spot. Seems unlikely that he would get the 149 he needs to take top spot in the final....but not impossible

3. Sam Curran - 997 - Curran counting down the days to the start of the IPL. Dropping a position every inactive week.

4. Wanindu Hasaranga - 980 - Inactive again and down to 4th spot, his lowest placing in a month.

5. Ravindra Jadeja - 948 - Down to fifth place despite finishing third for the week. Has a 101 point jump on Annabel Sutherland in 6th; the 4th biggest gap on the List.

Other Movers

Modest performances from our underperforming Aussies, Zampa and Head, sees them move up a place each. The spinner is up to 12th with the batter in 15th,

Top 3 Averages

1. Sam Curran = 199.4
2. Nicholas Pooran - 165.75.
3. Wanindu Hasaranga - 163.33

Kane Williamson's weekly winner sees his average up by 22.09 to 128.38. Chamari Athapaththu loses her top three berth for the first time in 2025, her average is down to 162 per active week.

Nothing for me again, but it will soon be my time again

I hope England don’t try to correct their previous stupidity by selecting Liam Dawson and then not let him play anything. They do have that on their CV

Cheers Prof

[andy]

Williamson out cheaply and has a quad issue

[The Professor]

A mere 627 points separated between 6 players this week....only warrants a Top Three in my eyes.

Weekly Top 3

1. Nat Sciver-Brunt - 344 - Is in astonishing form with the bat in the WIPL. Scored another 184 runs in three innings this week. Since the start of the competition she has scored 1063, when looking at all our Cricketers in the same time period Williamson is second with 394.

2. Chamari Athapaththu - 219 - After a non-existent WIPL campaign and a damp squib of an ODI series, Athapaththu showed her T20 prowess over New Zealand.

3. Ravindra Jadeja - 59 - Never really set the competition on fire...didn't even make it smoulder. However he was always there and ticking along and contributed once more in the final.

Overall Top 5

1. Nat Sciver - Brunt - 1520 - Already had a comfortable lead and then top-scored for the week. There is now almost half a thousand points between her and second place.

2. Kane Williamson - 1018 - Had such a good Champions Trophy but only got 11 points in the Final. Only holding off third place by 9 points.

3. Chamari Athapaththu - 1029 - Was in first place when her WIPL lock out occurred, last week she drifted down to 7th but is now right back in the mix thanks to her great performance in the first ODI against New Zealand.

4. Ravindra Jadeja - 1007 - His score of 59 for the week edges him over the thousand point mark and into fourth place.

5. Sam Curran - 997 - Was first a month ago but has been inactive ever since. Just about holds off any challenge to his Top 5 place.

Other Movers

Onyly 28 points scored by Pathum Nissanka on his return to cricket but it is enough to see him overtake Rishabh Pant into 19th.

Top 3 Averages

1. Sam Curran = 199.4
2. Chamari Athapaththu - 171.5 (Up from 162)
3. Nat Sciver-Brunt - 168.89 (Up from 147)

NSB improves her average by 21.89 and moves into the Top Three highest average points per active week on our List. After improving his average by 22.09 the week before, Williamson loses 13.05 this week.

wrong thread Prof?

[The Professor]

Whoops

[The Professor]

The calm before the storm as only 241 points were split between 5 players before the IPL starts next week. More of a round-up than a list this week.

Weekly Top 5

1. Nat Sciver- Brunt - 130 - NSB has top scored in 4 of the 11 weeks of 2025 so far. This week she enters the Top 10 for most Cricketers of the Week alongside the likes of Steve Smith and Pat Cummins who took 3 and two years respectively to reach that number.

=2. Babar Azam - Scored 22 at a sufficient enough lick to get Strike Rate point this week for Lahore Blues vs Karachi Whites in an All-Pakistan Knockabout

=2. Annabel Sutherland - 42 - Had a bit of a inverse Sciver-Brunt in the WIPL. Had a great Ashes series and a then a tepid time in India. Just the one wicket and 2 runs in her final outing before getting 0 in a T20 against New Zealand on Friday morning.

4. Chamari Athapaththu - 23 - Just 23 runs and then a washout for Athapaththu to end the series in New Zealand. Quite the downfall from 219 points last week.

5. Pathum Nissanka - 4 - Not often that 4 points gets you in the Top 5 for the week but here we are. The Sri Lankan is having a categorical stinker after such a profligate 2025.

Overall Top 5

1. Nat Sciver-Brunt - 1650 - Swells her lead to 598 but is going to have to sit out for a little while now until the start of the English County games start up.

2. Chamari Athapaththu - 1052 - Only 23 points this week but it served enough to see her move up a place to second. Hard to see where her next cricket comes from, however.

3. Kane Williamson - 1038 - Inactive this week and down to third. Would usually be gearing up for IPL action but is now having to wait until mid April to make his PSL bow for Karachi.

4. Ravindra Jadeja - 1007 - Inactive this week and holds fourth. Is about to join back up with Chennai where he could be the first ever player to score 3000 runs and get 150 wickets in the IPL.

5. Sam Curran - 997 - Inactive again this week. He has made no secret of the fact that he wants to make a big impression for Chennai to force his way back into the England team....potentially as captain???

Top 3 Averages

1. Sam Curran = 199.4
2. Nicholas Pooran = 165.75
3. Nat Sciver-Brunt - 165 (Down from 168.89)

In a week where all 5 players' averages dropped, Athapaththu's descent by 21.21 was the most eye-watering.

Post champions trophy lull.

[Durhamfootman]

1000 point lead for gingerpele

soon be my turn

cheers Prof

[sussexpob]

Well as long as Pooran keeps this up for another 8 months, we have a chance

[The Professor]

IPL means that we start with some crazy periods of point-scoring

Weekly Top 5

1. Nicholas Pooran - 295 - An outstanding start for the West Indian with two 70+ scores in the IPL for Lucknow. He is currently the top run-scorer in that tournament and only bettered by Nat Sciver-Brunt and Kane Williamson for us.

2. Annabel Sutherland - 284 - An exceptional last two T20 games against New Zealand saw Sutherland get back to back 4 wicket hauls and get her highest score of the year. It is the third time she has scored 200+ points in a week.

3. Travis Head - 204 - Has been almost anonymous for the first 11 weeks of 2025 but hits his stride in the orange of Hyderabad with 114 runs across two games.

4. Heinrich Klaasen - 140 - Scored 50% of his points from Strike Rate points this week after scoring 34 off 14 balls against Rajasthan and 26 off 17 against Lucknow.

5. Phil Salt - 106 - Strips off the England shirt and dons the Bengaluru one....and then immediately remembers how to play cricket again. 56 runs at a decent lick against Kolkata sees him edge into the Top 5.

Overall Top 5

1. Nat Sciver-Brunt - 1650 - Her first inactive week of what may be quite a few. Holds first place with the lead she has on second place down to 453.

2. Annabel Sutherland - 1197 - Her score of 284 this week sess her up from 7th place into second. Hard to see where he next cricket is coming from though.

3. Chamari Athapaththu - 1052 - Inactive this week and down a place to third.

4. Kane Williamson - 1038 - Finds himself talking about the IPL this week rather than playing in it....no points for that and down a place to 4th.

5. Ravindra Jadeja - 1034 - Only 27 points in his first match of the IPL for Chennai - sees him drop down to 5th. 30 points separates him from Wanindu Hasaranga.

Ones to Watch

The bottom of the Top 5 will be very fluid over the coming week. 33 points separate the bowling all-rounders of Jadeja, Hasaranga and Curran.

Other Movers

Slim scores from the Indian trio of SKY, Pant and Jaiswal in their firist IPL digs...bu tthey do each move up a place to 17th, 19th and 21st respectively.


Top 3 Averages

1. Nicholas Pooran = 191.6 (Up from 165.75)
2. 166.83 (Down from Sam Curran = 199.4)
3. Nat Sciver-Brunt - 165

Both the largest increase and decrease come from our Top 3 this week. Pooran moved up 25.85 pointd and Curran dropped by an eye-watering 32.57.
