Why Enid Bakewell ranks #58 in Cricket
Enid Bakewell ranks 58th among Cricket athletes on GOAT Rank and 395th of 2289 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 88.4 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 86, Peak 94, Longevity 82, Honours 88, Statistics 94. Those categories are normalised against the full Cricket reference universe of 297 records, not a shortlist, so the position reflects the whole sport rather than a handful of famous names.
The record covers 1966–1982 with 10 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1971, which sets the Peak component at 94. Peak is the defining strength of the profile at 94 out of 100, and it carries 20% of the final score. The underlying career record includes world cup titles 1, test average 59.88, test runs 1078, test wickets 50.
Immediately ahead sits Kevin Pietersen on 88.4, a gap of 0.0 points. Directly behind is Beth Mooney on 88.4. 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.
