Why Donald Carr ranks #247 in Cricket
Donald Carr ranks 247th among Cricket athletes on GOAT Rank and 1925th of 4013 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 81.8 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 74, Peak 86, Longevity 88, Honours 78, Statistics 86. 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 1945–1963 with 19 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1956, which sets the Peak component at 86. Longevity is the defining strength of the profile at 88 out of 100, and it carries 20% of the final score. The underlying career record includes test appearances 2, first-class runs 19257, first-class centuries 24, first-class matches 466.
Immediately ahead sits Gary Ballance on 81.8, a gap of 0.0 points. Directly behind is Mustafizur Rahman on 81.7. 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.
