Why Charlie Barnett ranks #162 in Cricket
Charlie Barnett ranks 162nd among Cricket athletes on GOAT Rank and 1216th of 4013 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 85.4 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 80, Peak 92, Longevity 88, Honours 78, Statistics 92. 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 1927–1953 with 27 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1938, which sets the Peak component at 92. Peak is the defining strength of the profile at 92 out of 100, and it carries 20% of the final score. The underlying career record includes test runs 1098, test centuries 2, first-class runs 25389, first-class centuries 48.
Immediately ahead sits Brian Close on 85.4, a gap of 0.0 points. Directly behind is Alan Davidson on 85.3. 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.
