Why Bill Brown ranks #150 in Cricket
Bill Brown ranks 150th among Cricket athletes on GOAT Rank and 1094th of 2289 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 90, Longevity 78, Honours 80, Statistics 88. 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 1932–1950 with 10 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1938, which sets the Peak component at 90. Peak is the defining strength of the profile at 90 out of 100, and it carries 20% of the final score. The underlying career record includes test runs 1592, test centuries 4, test batting average 46.82, tests played 22.
Immediately ahead sits Aaqib Javed on 82.1, a gap of 0.3 points. Directly behind is Mustafizur Rahman on 81.7. 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.
