Why Freddie Brown ranks #212 in Cricket
Freddie Brown ranks 212th among Cricket athletes on GOAT Rank and 1559th of 4013 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 83.5 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 78, Peak 88, Longevity 86, Honours 80, Statistics 88. 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 1930–1953 with 24 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1942, which sets the Peak component at 88. Peak 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 tests played 22, tests as captain 15, test wickets 45, first-class runs 13325.
Immediately ahead sits Chris Cairns on 83.5, a gap of 0.0 points. Directly behind is Basil Butcher on 83.4. 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.
