Why Frederick Bull ranks #270 in Cricket
Frederick Bull ranks 270th among Cricket athletes on GOAT Rank and 2469th of 4013 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 79.3 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 76, Peak 88, Longevity 74, Honours 72, Statistics 90. 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 1890–1900 with 11 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1896, which sets the Peak component at 88. Statistics is the defining strength of the profile at 90 out of 100, and it carries 15% of the final score. The underlying career record includes first-class wickets 484, wickets in 1897 121, seasons with 100 wickets 1, ten-wicket matches 12.
Immediately ahead sits Hubert Ashton on 79.4, a gap of 0.1 points. Directly behind is Duleepsinhji on 79.1. 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.
