Why Brendon McCullum ranks #112 in Cricket
Brendon McCullum ranks 112th among Cricket athletes on GOAT Rank and 644th of 2289 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 86.3 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 82, Peak 96, Longevity 84, Honours 80, 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 2001–2016 with 13 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 2014, which sets the Peak component at 96. Peak is the defining strength of the profile at 96 out of 100, and it carries 20% of the final score. The underlying career record includes test runs 6453, highest test score 302, fastest test century (balls) 54, odi runs 6083.
Immediately ahead sits Ian Chappell on 86.3, a gap of 0.0 points. Directly behind is Sana Mir on 86.3. 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.
