Why Jock Cameron ranks #259 in Cricket

Jock Cameron ranks 259th among Cricket athletes on GOAT Rank and 2133rd of 4013 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 80.8 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 78, Peak 90, Longevity 76, Honours 76, Statistics 86. 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 1924–1935 with 12 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1932, which sets the Peak component at 90. Peak is the defining strength of the profile at 90 out of 100, and it carries 20% of the final score. The underlying career record includes test dismissals 51, test runs 1239, runs in one over 30, first-class runs 5396.

Immediately ahead sits Umar Gul on 80.9, a gap of 0.1 points. Directly behind is Kim Barnett on 80.6. 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.
