Why Andrew Strauss ranks #102 in Cricket
Andrew Strauss ranks 102nd among Cricket athletes on GOAT Rank and 597th of 2289 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 86.7 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 82, Peak 92, Longevity 84, Honours 86, 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 1998–2012 with 9 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 2009, which sets the Peak component at 92. Peak 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 ashes series won as captain 2, test runs 7037, test centuries 21, tests as captain 50.
Immediately ahead sits VVS Laxman on 86.7, a gap of 0.0 points. Directly behind is Kapil Dev on 86.6. 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.
