The Cavaliers skipper is three points clear at the top of the table after five games on 10, ahead of Fletcher Rose (7).

Corben is having a phenomenal season, with 458 runs in the BOIDC from just four innings, with two 50s and two 100s - including a 176 - at an average of 114.

Rose has hit the one ton and two half-centuries at an average of 68 in the BOIDC in a breakout season with the bat.

The real surprise has come in third spot with CYMS tweaker Al Dhatt has racked up the maximum three points from his only two games this season to be sitting as the third place on six points.

The evergreen Dhatt has made a remarkable comeback to the BOIDC for CYMS' 75th year, with two five-wicket hauls from his two starts, taking 10-146 across his astonishing 62 overs in the competition on top of 1-32 in his sole Royal Hotel Cup appearance.

He's gone at a miserly 2.4 runs per over, averaging just 14 with ball in hand - as well as taking three catches to boot.

Eight players share the spoils on five points, including St Pat's Old Boys' Connor Slattery - who with a batting average of 119 in the BOIDC and eight wickets could be expected to sit much higher in the standings.

Three of his five points would have come from his round three match with City Colts where he belted 152 not out and then took 4-62 with ball in hand.

He may have picked up points in the round five clash with Rugby Union where he hit 86, or when he nabbed 3-82 from 22 overs in round two against Orange City.

Bathurst City pair Joey Coughlan and Harrison Craig are part of the large group on five points, along with Centennials Bulls' Kyle Aubin and Rugby Union's Jameel Qureshi.

Craig has picked up 14 wickets across the competition to date and Coughlan's points no doubt came from the opening two rounds where he racked up scores of 130, 77 and 58.

Aubin's new career high 69 and his recent four wicket haul were the likely sources of his points.

Jameel Qureshi has played limited cricket this season but made a big impact in that time with his scores of 58 not out and 91.

It's also been confirmed the smoke-affected matches involving Rugby, Pat's, City Colts and Redbacks will be declared draws.
