Very very early to have an almost full compliment of cricketers featuring in a week but only Brook, Gill and Jadeja did not play this week. Let's see our Top 5.
Weekly Top 5
1. Jos Buttler - 273 - Last year's Cricketer of the Year ended 2023 on a bit of a sour note, but is starting to look sweet again in the SA20 and is straight back into action with a weekly top score. Places him 8th Overall after three weeks.
2. Babar Azam - 253 - Pakistan are getting drubbed by New Zealand but Azam is giving it his all. You can always bank on him to get a half century and with two this week he is good value for second spot.
3. Travis Head = 179 - Provided the batting highlight of the first Test against the West Indies and is rewarded with a third place finish for the week as well as a surge up the table overall; from 11th to 9th.
4. Glenn Maxwell - 172 - Ended his BBL 13 season with some typically boisterous hitting and a final feature in the Top 5. Is now going to have a fortnight out the game before the ODIs against the West Indies.
5. Daryl Mitchell - 168 - Featured in three T20s this week and is largely here thanks to 72* in the final one. He has finished in the Top 5 two weeks in a row and will be playing throughout February.
Overall Top 5
1. Chamari Athapaththu - 478 - Becomes the first cricketer to top the overall list for the first three weeks of the year. Scored only 105 and has the pack breathing down her neck but is holding her own.
2. Babar Azam - 439 - Jumped up 4 places to 2nd this week. Only spent two weeks in the Top 5 in 2023. Will be wanting to better that in 2024.
3. Daryl Mitchell - 392 - Up a place from last week. Is rapidly becoming the fulcrum of the team. With New Zealand playing pretty consistently through until March, he could be a mainstay at the very top of our List.
4. Glenn Maxwell - 385 - Up a place for The Big Show. He is really looking on top form after his injury ravaged 2023. Is having a fortnight away from the game but should be back soon enough.
5. Aaron Hardie - 316 - Yo-yos back into the Top 5 against. After finishing third in week one, dropping down to 7th in week two, he now rounds off our weekly Top 5. His continued involvement in BBL 13 will see him continue to be amongst the points for at least one more game.
Other Movers
Two other players moved up this week. Sam Curran moved up 3 spots to finish Week 3 in 12th whilst Virat Kohli is up two to 11th.
Ones To Watch
With the second Test against the West Indies next week, Australia's new opening partnership of Steve Smith and Usman Khawaja are both tied in 15th place with 115 points.
