Why Neil Adcock ranks #218 in Cricket
Neil Adcock ranks 218th among Cricket athletes on GOAT Rank and 1605th of 4013 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 83.2 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 82, Peak 90, Longevity 78, Honours 78, Statistics 90. 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 1952–1963 with 12 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1959, which sets the Peak component at 90. Peak is the defining strength of the profile at 90 out of 100, and it carries 20% of the final score. The underlying career record includes test wickets 104, test average 21, first-class wickets 405, five-wicket hauls in tests 5.
Immediately ahead sits Harry Brook on 83.2, a gap of 0.0 points. Directly behind is Keith Boyce on 83.1. 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.
