The Weekly Top 5
1. Marnus Labuschagne - 284 - Always starts a year strongly. His previous Cricketer of the Week accolade came in the second week of January 2020. Can he keep his form up this year?
2. Steve Smith - 284 - Smith put some poor form at the end of 2020 behind him to finish second in his first active week of 2020 thanks to a match-winning 131 + 81 for Australia v England.
3. Glenn Maxwell - 167 - The Big Show showed his prowess with the ball this week with 65.87% of his points coming from his less favoured discipline. It is his second successive week in the top 5.
4. Ravichandran Ashwin - 149 - If we gave points for courage and determination he would be much further up....but we don't...so he isn't.
5. Jasprit Bumrah - 130 - Not as an electric a start from Bumrah as we might have expected but a decent enough yield from the debutant.
The Overall Top 5
1. Glenn Maxwell - 353 - Being one of just three players to have been active in both weeks of this year has helped to propel Maxwell back to top spot again. The last time he held this lofty accolade was in the last week of 2019 where he was crowned Cricketer of the Year.
2. Kane Williamson - 318 - Such was the weight of Williamson's haul in that final Test against Pakistan, he can go inactive this week and still remain in second place overall.
3. Marnus Labuschagne - 284 - This week's top scorer sees himself in third from his debut appearance of 2021. With another Test currently underway, Marnus has upward momentum.
4. Steve Smith - 262 - Smith spent a lot of time last year in the Top 5 before a poor IPL saw him drop down to his final position of 9th. Debuting in 4th, can he do better his year?
5. Dawid Malan - 201 - Despite just 10 points this week, Malan's first week score of 191 sees him just about hold off Ravichandran Ashwin for a place in the Overall Top 5.
