Why Bruce Dooland ranks #261 in Cricket
Bruce Dooland ranks 261st among Cricket athletes on GOAT Rank and 2201st of 4013 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 80.6 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 78, Peak 88, Longevity 76, Honours 74, Statistics 90. 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 1945–1957 with 13 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1952, which sets the Peak component at 88. Statistics is the defining strength of the profile at 90 out of 100, and it carries 15% of the final score. The underlying career record includes first-class wickets 1016, first-class runs 7141, test wickets 9, seasons with 100 wickets 4.
Immediately ahead sits Kim Barnett on 80.6, a gap of 0.0 points. Directly behind is Hugh Bartlett on 80.6. 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.
