Why Greg Chappell ranks #60 in Cricket
Greg Chappell ranks 60th among Cricket athletes on GOAT Rank and 682nd of 4013 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 88.5 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 88, Peak 94, Longevity 82, Honours 86, 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 1970–1984 with 15 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1978, 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 test runs 7110, test centuries 24, batting average 54, tests as captain 48.
Immediately ahead sits Aravinda de Silva on 88.5, a gap of 0.0 points. Directly behind is Inzamam-ul-Haq 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.
