Why Arthur Day ranks #285 in Cricket
Arthur Day ranks 285th among Cricket athletes on GOAT Rank and 3848th of 4013 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 63.6 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 58, Peak 70, Longevity 68, Honours 58, Statistics 66. 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 1905–1925 with 21 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1911, which sets the Peak component at 70. Peak is the defining strength of the profile at 70 out of 100, and it carries 20% of the final score. The underlying career record includes county championship titles 3, first-class runs 6000, first-class centuries 8, first-class matches 180.
Immediately ahead sits Gus Atkinson on 70.3, a gap of 6.7 points. Directly behind is Jack Bryan on 62.1. 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.
