Why Len Braund ranks #172 in Cricket
Len Braund ranks 172nd among Cricket athletes on GOAT Rank and 1279th of 4013 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 85.0 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 80, Peak 88, Longevity 88, 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 1896–1920 with 25 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1904, which sets the Peak component at 88. Statistics is the defining strength of the profile at 92 out of 100, and it carries 15% of the final score. The underlying career record includes test runs 987, test wickets 47, first-class runs 17801, first-class wickets 1114.
Immediately ahead sits Dennis Lillee on 85.0, a gap of 0.0 points. Directly behind is Tamim Iqbal 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.
