Why Jack Brown ranks #201 in Cricket

Jack Brown ranks 201st among Cricket athletes on GOAT Rank and 1476th of 4013 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 83.9 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 80, Peak 92, Longevity 82, Honours 78, 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 1889–1904 with 16 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1897, 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 470, test centuries 1, first-class runs 17920, first-class centuries 29.

Immediately ahead sits Shafali Verma on 83.9, a gap of 0.0 points. Directly behind is Mike Brearley on 83.8. 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.
