Why Rachael Heyhoe Flint ranks #27 in Cricket
Rachael Heyhoe Flint ranks 27th among Cricket athletes on GOAT Rank and 235th of 2289 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 90.2 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 88, Peak 94, Longevity 88, Honours 90, 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 1960–1982 with 14 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1967, which sets the Peak component at 94. Peak is the defining strength of the profile at 94 out of 100, and it carries 20% of the final score. The underlying career record includes world cup titles 1, tests played 22, test runs 1594, test average 45.54.
Immediately ahead sits Viv Richards on 90.2, a gap of 0.0 points. Directly behind is Fred Trueman on 90.1. 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.
