Why Hashim Amla ranks #70 in Cricket
Hashim Amla ranks 70th among Cricket athletes on GOAT Rank and 701st of 4013 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 86, Honours 84, 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 2004–2019 with 16 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 2012, 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 9282, test centuries 28, highest score 311, odi runs 8113.
Immediately ahead sits Denis Compton on 88.4, a gap of 0.0 points. Directly behind is Mahela Jayawardene on 88.3. 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.
