Why Bill Brockwell ranks #244 in Cricket
Bill Brockwell ranks 244th among Cricket athletes on GOAT Rank and 1922nd of 4013 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 81.8 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 76, Peak 86, Longevity 84, Honours 78, Statistics 88. 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 1886–1903 with 18 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1895, which sets the Peak component at 86. Statistics is the defining strength of the profile at 88 out of 100, and it carries 15% of the final score. The underlying career record includes first-class runs 13239, first-class wickets 725, test runs 202, county championships won 5.
Immediately ahead sits Dominic Cork on 81.8, a gap of 0.0 points. Directly behind is Bob Catterall on 81.8. 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.
