Why Alex Blackwell ranks #51 in Cricket
Alex Blackwell ranks 51st among Cricket athletes on GOAT Rank and 365th of 2289 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 88.7 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 82, Peak 90, Longevity 90, Honours 92, Statistics 92. Those categories are normalised against the full Cricket reference universe of 297 records, not a shortlist, so the position reflects the whole sport rather than a handful of famous names.
The record covers 2003–2018 with 15 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 2010, which sets the Peak component at 90. Honours is the defining strength of the profile at 92 out of 100, and it carries 20% of the final score. The underlying career record includes world cup titles 2, t20 world cup titles 4, odi matches 144, odi runs 3311.
Immediately ahead sits Graham Gooch on 88.7, a gap of 0.0 points. Directly behind is Alyssa Healy on 88.6. 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.
