Why Saeed Anwar ranks #189 in Cricket
Saeed Anwar ranks 189th among Cricket athletes on GOAT Rank and 1412th of 4013 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 84.3 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 82, Peak 94, Longevity 78, Honours 78, Statistics 92. 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 1989–2003 with 15 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1997, 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 odi runs 8824, odi centuries 20, highest odi score 194, test runs 4052.
Immediately ahead sits Roger Blunt on 84.4, a gap of 0.1 points. Directly behind is Joe Darling 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.
