Why Roger Blunt ranks #188 in Cricket
Roger Blunt ranks 188th among Cricket athletes on GOAT Rank and 1395th of 4013 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 84.4 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 80, Peak 90, Longevity 84, Honours 82, 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 1917–1936 with 20 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1927, 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 appearances 9, test runs 330, first-class runs 9069, first-class wickets 236.
Immediately ahead sits Bob Appleyard on 84.4, a gap of 0.0 points. Directly behind is Saeed Anwar on 84.3. 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.
