Why Keith Boyce ranks #219 in Cricket
Keith Boyce ranks 219th among Cricket athletes on GOAT Rank and 1628th of 4013 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 83.1 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 78, Peak 90, Longevity 78, Honours 84, Statistics 88. 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 1965–1977 with 13 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1974, 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 world cup titles 1, wickets in the 1975 final 4, test wickets 60, first-class wickets 852.
Immediately ahead sits Neil Adcock on 83.2, a gap of 0.1 points. Directly behind is Martin Donnelly on 83.1. 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.
