Why Laura Wolvaardt ranks #99 in Cricket
Laura Wolvaardt ranks 99th among Cricket athletes on GOAT Rank and 585th of 2289 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 86.8 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 86, Peak 94, Longevity 78, Honours 84, Statistics 94. 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 2016–present with 10 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 2022, which sets the Peak component at 94. Peak is the defining strength of the profile at 94 out of 100, and it carries 20% of the final score. The underlying career record includes world cup finals reached 3, odi runs 4000, odi centuries 8, odi average 46.
Immediately ahead sits Daniel Vettori on 87.0, a gap of 0.2 points. Directly behind is Abdul Qadir on 86.8. 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.
