Why Mignon du Preez ranks #122 in Cricket
Mignon du Preez ranks 122nd among Cricket athletes on GOAT Rank and 724th of 2289 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 85.4 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 80, Peak 90, Longevity 88, Honours 80, Statistics 92. 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 2007–2023 with 16 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 2014, which sets the Peak component at 90. 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 odi runs 3760, t20i runs 2000, odi matches 154, matches as captain 100.
Immediately ahead sits Jhulan Goswami on 85.6, a gap of 0.2 points. Directly behind is Michael Vaughan on 85.4. 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.
