Why Gus Atkinson ranks #166 in Cricket
Gus Atkinson ranks 166th among Cricket athletes on GOAT Rank and 1937th of 2289 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 70.3 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 66, Peak 88, Longevity 58, Honours 60, Statistics 84. 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 2020–present with 6 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 2024, 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 test wickets 63, tests played 14, five-wicket hauls 4, test hat-tricks 1.
Immediately ahead sits Naseem Shah on 73.2, a gap of 2.9 points. 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.
