A bit thin on the ground in terms of completed Cricket this week, thusly we can do a complete rundown of the entire list for the week (and therefore) the year.

1. Kyle Jamieson - 106 - Being first in the first week of January is a good start, but this time last year it was Jamieson's New Zealand captain Kane Williamson who led us out. Williamson ended up finishing third from bottom. The third lowest top score we've had.

2. KL Rahul - 78 - A half century in the loss to South Africa was not enough to see his India team to victory but is enough to see him finish second for the week.

3. Rishabh Pant - 67 - Never before have I seen a man criticised for a solitary shot in the way that Pant has this week. He finishes only 11 points behind second spot.

4. Glenn Maxwell - 11 - Not the greatest start to 2022. After scoring only 11 points in 2 BBL games he then went down with Covid.

Top Players by Format

Long Form - Kyle Jamieson = 106
One Day - n/a
T20 - Glenn Maxwell = 11

Top Players by Discipline

Runs - KL Rahul - 58
Batting Bonus - KL Rahul - 20
Strike Rate - n/a

Wickets - Kyle Jamieson = 40
Wicket Bonus - n/a
Economy - Kyle Jamieson = 60

Fielding - Rishabh Pant = 40
Fielding Bonus - Rishabh Pant = 10

Headlines

MIB leads us out with nearly three times the score of second place.

Interestingly not one of the players to feature this week won their 4 games of cricket. Slim odds on that.

Jamieson becomes the 50th individual cricketer to win Cricketer of the Week.

In his inaugural week he has the same number of Cricketer of the Week as ABDV, Duminy, M. Marsh, Yadav, Joe Burns, Bairstow, Abbas, Callum Ferguson, Guptill, Head and Williamson

Weekly Update

1. Ben Stokes - 196 - One word to describe Ben Stokes is irrepressible and, despite all that has been thrown at him, he manages to reverse the odds and claim Cricketer of the Week from the Fourth Ashes Test. It is his first List topping week since July of last year.

=2. Jonny Bairstow - 194 - The last time Bairstow scored a Test Century was 18 Test matches but saved this one up to mark his return to our List. He finishes joint second.

=2. Kyle Jamieson - 194 - Follows his inaugural week top sot with a joint second place finish in his sophomore week....thankfully it was coupled by a win for his team this time.

3. Steve Smith - 180 - Did not have an electric 2021 and was rooted to the foot of the List for pretty much the whole year. This could be a sign of positive intent.

4. Rishabh Pant - 177 - Pant will feel hard done by to score a century and only just creep into the top five but there have been some strong Test performances this week.

5. Pat Cummins - 174 - Captain Fantastic continues his great start in the hot seat with a top 5 finish in his debut week. Could be prolific this year.

Overall Update

1. Kyle Jamieson - 300 - First in Week 1 and second in Week 1 is bound to put you as top dog overall. Simon Harmer will tell you that trunkfuls of wickets will take you a long way in this game.

2. Rishabh Pant - 244 - The only player from the four that featured in Week 1 to improve his placing on the overall List. Third of four last week, he is now second of 11.

3. Ben Stokes - 196 - Has not been in the top three overall since the last week of 2020 where he fought Babar Azam for top spot until the bitter end. You feel another prolific year like that might not be in Stokes but he has started well.

4. Jonny Bairstow - 194 - Back with a bang on the Test scene and back with a bang to our Lists. Makes his second debut at fourth.

5. Steve Smith - 180 - A welcome return to form sees Smitty pop into the top 5; but there is only 6 points between the vice-captain and his captain in 6th.

Top Three Averages

1. Kyle Jamieson - 150
2. Rishabh Pant - 122
3. Glenn Maxwell - 67

Weekly Update

1. Glenn Maxwell - 407 - The winner of Cricketer of the Year 2019 has had some good weeks but this score is his highest weekly score in his 4 years on this List. It is also the 12th highest score ever.

2. Pat Cummins - 265 - A pretty much flawless first Test series for the new Australia captain sees him finish the Ashes with a second place berth.

3. Simon Harmer - 234 - Back in action sooner than we normally see him....and also back in the wickets. 7 in Titans match vs the North West. His first Top 5 of many this year, you would think.

4. Quinton De Kock - 195 - Unfazed by lack of match practice, controversy or fatherhood, QDK was back to his best in his first outing of 2022,

5. Travis Head - 164 - If you would have predicted Travis Head as your Ashes Man of the Series you would have been recommended a concussion Test. Only the fifth Test registered for points but still sees him finish in the week's Top Five.

Overall Update

1. Glenn Maxwell - 541 - At this early stage one good week can see you move up the table...so Maxwell's exemplary week was enough to see him move from 7th to top spot. He is 100 points clear on second.

2. Pat Cummins - 439 - Solid performances in the last two Ashes Tests sees Cummins move up 4 places to second spot.

3. Rishabh Pant - 395 - Pant has been one of the stand out performers for India in their disappointing tour of South Africa; he still manages to drop a place to third though.

4. Kyle Jamieson - 300 - Jamieson led for Weeks 1 and 2 but was inactive this week and dropped down three spots.

5. Simon Harmer - 334 - It took 21 weeks for Harmer to get in the top 5 last year, here he is in fifth spot after just the third week.

Other significant movers

Marnus Labuschagne finished in 7th place for the week but was still able to move up four spots to tail Harmer by 25 spots in 6th place.

Top Three Averages

1. Pat Cummins - 219.5
2. Glenn Maxwell - 180.33 (Up from 67)
3. Kyle Jamieson - 150

All three players who have played in all three active weeks (Maxwell, Pant, Rahul) improved their average. Maxwell's improvement by 113.33 is easily the biggest positive swing.

Top Players By Format

*=New Name

Long Form - Kyle Jamieson - 300

Economy - *Pat Cummins = 120

Fielding - Rishabh Pant = 70

Ones to Watch

There is just 16 points between 6th and 12th with KL Rahul (2 points off 6th) and Quinton De Kock (10 points off 9th) scheduled to play.

Headlines

Surprisingly stable in terms of movement; just the Red trio reversing their order for the week.
