Why Chris Adams ranks #210 in Cricket
Chris Adams ranks 210th among Cricket athletes on GOAT Rank and 1541st of 4013 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 83.6 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 76, Peak 88, 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 1988–2008 with 21 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 2001, which sets the Peak component at 88. Statistics is the defining strength of the profile at 92 out of 100, and it carries 15% of the final score. The underlying career record includes first-class runs 19981, first-class centuries 47, county championships as captain 3, tests played 5.
Immediately ahead sits Billy Barnes on 83.6, a gap of 0.0 points. Directly behind is Chris Cairns on 83.5. 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.
