Why Adam Gilchrist ranks #37 in Cricket
Adam Gilchrist ranks 37th among Cricket athletes on GOAT Rank and 340th of 1063 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 86.5 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 84, Peak 90, Longevity 82, Honours 88, Statistics 90. Those categories are normalised against the full Cricket reference universe of 294 records, not a shortlist, so the position reflects the whole sport rather than a handful of famous names.
The record covers 1992–2013 with 12 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 2001, which sets the Peak component at 90. Peak is the defining strength of the profile at 90 out of 100, and it carries 20% of the final score. The underlying career record includes world cups 3, test runs 5570, odi runs 9619, test dismissals 416.
Immediately ahead sits Richard Hadlee on 87.0, a gap of 0.5 points. Directly behind is Michael Holding on 87.5. The position moves whenever the verified record moves: new titles, new seasons or a corrected source all feed straight back into the same formula, and every change is dated on this profile.
