Why Liam Dawson ranks #163 in Cricket
Liam Dawson ranks 163rd among Cricket athletes on GOAT Rank and 1741st of 2289 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 74.9 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 64, Peak 82, Longevity 86, Honours 62, Statistics 86. 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 2007–present with 16 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 2022, which sets the Peak component at 82. Longevity is the defining strength of the profile at 86 out of 100, and it carries 20% of the final score. The underlying career record includes first-class wickets 450, first-class runs 9000, tests played 8, t20 internationals 20.
Immediately ahead sits Willis Cuttell on 77.5, a gap of 2.6 points. Directly behind is Mohammad Asif on 74.8. 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.
