Why Betty Wilson ranks #39 in Cricket
Betty Wilson ranks 39th among Cricket athletes on GOAT Rank and 310th of 2289 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 89.4 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 92, Peak 98, Longevity 76, Honours 86, Statistics 96. 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 1947–1958 with 9 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1951, which sets the Peak component at 98. Peak is the defining strength of the profile at 98 out of 100, and it carries 20% of the final score. The underlying career record includes test batting average 57.46, test bowling average 11.8, test wickets 68, test runs 862.
Immediately ahead sits Malcolm Marshall on 89.5, a gap of 0.1 points. Directly behind is Sanath Jayasuriya on 89.3. 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.
