Why Dennis Brookes ranks #221 in Cricket
Dennis Brookes ranks 221st among Cricket athletes on GOAT Rank and 1633rd of 4013 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 83.1 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 76, Peak 86, Longevity 92, Honours 72, Statistics 94. 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 1934–1959 with 26 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1948, which sets the Peak component at 86. Statistics is the defining strength of the profile at 94 out of 100, and it carries 15% of the final score. The underlying career record includes first-class runs 28980, first-class centuries 71, seasons played 25, tests played 1.
Immediately ahead sits Martin Donnelly on 83.1, a gap of 0.0 points. Directly behind is Herschelle Gibbs on 83.0. 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.
