Why Jimmy Binks ranks #174 in Cricket
Jimmy Binks ranks 174th among Cricket athletes on GOAT Rank and 1302nd of 4013 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 84.9 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 78, Peak 86, Longevity 92, Honours 80, Statistics 92. 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 1955–1969 with 15 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1963, which sets the Peak component at 86. Longevity 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 consecutive championship matches 412, first-class dismissals 1071, county championships won 7, tests played 2.
Immediately ahead sits Tamim Iqbal on 84.9, a gap of 0.0 points. Directly behind is Glen Chapple on 84.9. 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.
