Why Phillip DeFreitas ranks #160 in Cricket
Phillip DeFreitas ranks 160th among Cricket athletes on GOAT Rank and 1420th of 2289 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 79.1 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 70, Peak 86, Longevity 88, Honours 68, Statistics 88. 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 1985–2006 with 12 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1991, which sets the Peak component at 86. Longevity 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 wickets 140, tests played 44, odi wickets 115, first-class wickets 1221.
Immediately ahead sits Duleepsinhji on 79.1, a gap of 0.0 points. Directly behind is John Childs on 77.8. 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.
