Why Nick Compton ranks #267 in Cricket
Nick Compton ranks 267th among Cricket athletes on GOAT Rank and 2415th of 4013 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 79.6 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 72, Peak 86, Longevity 84, Honours 72, 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 2001–2018 with 18 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 2012, which sets the Peak component at 86. Statistics is the defining strength of the profile at 88 out of 100, and it carries 15% of the final score. The underlying career record includes test runs 775, test centuries 2, first-class runs 12963, first-class centuries 26.
Immediately ahead sits Dale Benkenstein on 80.0, a gap of 0.4 points. Directly behind is Major Booth on 79.5. 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.
