[The Professor]

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

Will roll over to next week

Didn't realise the games finished on a Saturday

[Arthur Crabtree]

Cheers Prof. Red leads us into Autumn.

[The Professor]

Calculations were concluded before the end of the England match so NSB's score will role over to next week.

Weekly Top 5

1. Pathum Nissanka - 167 - Finished an impressive few weeks with a stonking score of 107 against India. It was an eye-catching knock that, many people say, might get him an IPL contract next year. He also did it in one T20 game compared to the rest of the Top 5 this week who needed two ODIs or a Four Day game to do less well than him.

2. Annabel Sutherland - 161 - Did not score well in her final warm-up game but came on for a devastating spell to finish New Zealand off in her first World Cup game.

3. Liam Dawson - 109- The leading red ball point scorer added another 109 to his balance in the final County Championship game of the season. Will count himself very lucky that it wasn't the last in Division One.

4. Chamari Athapaththu - 101 - A smidge under a half century in the opening loss to India points to the fact this could be another big tournament for the Lankan. Moves up a place to 15th Overall.

5. Travis Head - 71 - A lean week for point scoring sees a score of less than 100 get you into the Top 5. Could have been more if rain had not interrupted this morning.

Overall Top 5

1. Sam Curran - 4148 - A well earnt rest for a very busy man over the English summer. Seems to be out of action until the beginning of the BBL....but I could be wrong.

2.Jos Buttler - 3807 - A period of time in the wilderness looms for Buttler. I think his next action will be for Durban in the SA20.

3. Liam Dawson- 3722 - A man who is going to have a well earned rest for a bit; potentially all the way up until the SA20.

4.Nat Sciver-Brunt - 3166 - The only member of our Top 5 who is going to be very active over the coming weeks. She has a huge gulf to eat into to move up as there is 556 - the largest gap of any point in the List - between her and third place.

5. Nicholas Pooran - 3096- Inactive this week but also has a very active Ravindra Jadeja 292 points behind him.

Other Movers

Only 50 points this week but is enough to not only see Bumrah off bottom place but up above both Azam and Zampa into 22nd.

Top 3 Averages

1. Sam Curran - 159.94
2.Chamari Athapaththu - 157 (Down from 161.67)
3. Annabel Sutherland - 143.12 (Up from 142)

Sciver-Brunt loses her top three place due to a 5.55 drop down to 137.65. Pathum Nissanka's big week sees him move up to 128.16; an improvement of 2.16.

[Durhamfootman]

Dawson has a gig in the ITLPLGBTQIanon+, so hopefully will keep earning me points

not for the first time Hasaranga could do with pulling his finger out

cheers Prof

[The Professor]

Very lean week in terms of contributions but there is a natural gap between the person that finished fifth and the person in 6th so I will do a Top 5 as normal.

Weekly Top 5

1. Ravindra Jadeja – 274 – Clearly likes a bit of responsibility. His first game as vice captain saw him excel with both bat and ball – something he has not done in a while. Another Test started on Friday so more points in the offing.

2. Saim Ayub – 232 – A struggling batter returning back to their domestic league and completely annihilating is a dance as old as time itself. Ayub scored 142 runs this week – this is more than he bagged in the last 5 weeks combined.

3. Nat Sciver-Brunt – 112 – Hasn’t quite hit her staps like we know she is capable of but still a comfortable three figure score in the second week of the World Cup.

4. Jasprit Bumrah – 110 - Felt like he was a bit out of luck in the first Test against West Indies but managed to bag three late wickets in the first innings to scrape a three figure score.

5. Annabel Sutherland- 91 – Bowled superbly in the match against Pakistan but looked like she might need get her just deserts….but managed to bag three late wickets to finish with a decent score.

Overall Top 5

Not much to report this week with only NSB playing.

The Top 5 remains:

1 Sam Curran 4148
2 Jos Buttler 3807
3 Liam Dawson 3722
4 Nat Sciver-Brunt 3278
5 Nicholas Pooran 3096

Jadeja is only 18 points off 5th so expect changes next week.

Top 3 Averages

1. Sam Curran - 159.94
2.Chamari Athapaththu - 157 (Down from 161.67)
3. Annabel Sutherland - 140.22 (Down from 143.12)

Saim Ayub's return to form sees his average improve by 7.37 point to 106.61. Travis Head's damp squib versus New Zealand sees him drop by 3.5, down to 87.95.

Points for Saim this week and possibly more from Yashasvi in next scoring week

[Red Devil]

Looking like I'm going to be passed very soon

[Durhamfootman]

I think gingerpele picked two women players this year, so I find myself heartily encouraged by his strong showing this year, because it means women are playing more matches, which has to be a good thing, I think. They still have the WBBL to come once this WC is done

in the meantime, my goose is cooked and I can lay the blame firmly at a Sri Lankan door. He would have scored over 4,000 points last year.... doesn't even have half of that this year and I'm not aware that he's missed anything through injury. He just flattered to deceive

cheers Prof

[gingerpele]

Yeah my girls doing surprisingly well. Be hard to get rid of either of them for next year the way they are playing!

[The Professor]

Many more points scored this week but from the exact same amount of cricketers. The natural break comes after a Top Three so that is what we shall do.

Weekly Top 3

1. Nat Sciver-Brunt- 237 – Had a (admittedly unimpressive) game washed out but still manages to bag top spot courtesy of a century and a couple of wickets against Sri Lanka.

2. Annabel Sutherland – 230 – Became the top wicket taker of the World Cup this week, largely due to the five-fer she bagged against India.

3. Yashasvi Jaiswal – 213 – Been a bit since he registered an impressive score in Tests but certainly got his dues against West Indies. Moves up three places on the Overall List to 11th.

Overall Top 5

1. Sam Curran – 4148 – Inactive this week but is likely to feature in the T20 series that starts Saturday morning against New Zealand.

2. Jos Buttler- 3807- Inactive this week but will hope to be an instrumental figure in the T20 series that starts Saturday morning against New Zealand.

3. Liam Dawson – 3722 - Inactive this week but may just feature in the T20 series that starts Saturday morning against New Zealand.

4. Nat Sciver – Brunt – 3515 – Despite her weekly high score this week, she just finds herself further sandwiched in fourth place. 207 points separate her from third and 257 from 5th.

5. Ravindra Jadeja – 3258 – His form in the West indies series propels Jadeja into the Top 5 at the expense of Nicholas Pooran.

Other Movers

Two Pakistan players finished off the pace but still managed to move on the Overall List. Saim Ayub continues to improve and moves up to 16th whilst Azam jumps up from bottom place to 22nd after his long respite from Cricket.

Top 3 Averages

1. Sam Curran - 159.94
2.Chamari Athapaththu - 148.29 (Down from 157)
3. Annabel Sutherland - 144.95 (Up from 140.22)

Chamari Athapaththu drops the most - down by 8.71 points but still manages to hold second place. Yashasvi Jaiswal does the best this week with his average up by 5.17 to 109.53.

Could be GP's time this year. Lots of women's cricket between now and the end of the year
