Why Herschelle Gibbs ranks #145 in Cricket
Herschelle Gibbs ranks 145th among Cricket athletes on GOAT Rank and 953rd of 2289 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 83.0 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 78, Peak 92, Longevity 82, Honours 76, Statistics 90. 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 1996–2010 with 14 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 2001, which sets the Peak component at 92. Peak is the defining strength of the profile at 92 out of 100, and it carries 20% of the final score. The underlying career record includes test runs 6167, odi runs 8094, test centuries 14, odi centuries 21.
Immediately ahead sits Babar Azam on 83.2, a gap of 0.2 points. Directly behind is Adam Voges on 82.7. 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.
