Why Andrew Flintoff ranks #110 in Cricket
Andrew Flintoff ranks 110th among Cricket athletes on GOAT Rank and 630th of 2289 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 86.4 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 84, Peak 96, Longevity 78, Honours 84, 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 1995–2010 with 12 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 2004, which sets the Peak component at 96. Peak is the defining strength of the profile at 96 out of 100, and it carries 20% of the final score. The underlying career record includes test wickets 226, test runs 3845, ashes series won 2, man of the series awards 3.
Immediately ahead sits Bishan Singh Bedi on 86.4, a gap of 0.0 points. Directly behind is Ian Chappell on 86.3. 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.
