Why Major Booth ranks #268 in Cricket
Major Booth ranks 268th among Cricket athletes on GOAT Rank and 2432nd of 4013 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 79.5 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 78, Peak 88, Longevity 66, Honours 80, 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 1908–1914 with 7 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1913, which sets the Peak component at 88. Peak is the defining strength of the profile at 88 out of 100, and it carries 20% of the final score. The underlying career record includes test appearances 2, first-class wickets 603, first-class runs 4753, wisden cricketer of the year 1.
Immediately ahead sits Nick Compton on 79.6, a gap of 0.1 points. Directly behind is Hubert Ashton on 79.4. 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.
