Why Sarah Taylor ranks #36 in Cricket
Sarah Taylor ranks 36th among Cricket athletes on GOAT Rank and 287th of 2289 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 89.6 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 86, Peak 94, Longevity 86, Honours 90, Statistics 94. 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 2006–2019 with 14 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 2013, 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 2, t20 world cup titles 1, odi dismissals 135, odi runs 4056.
Immediately ahead sits Sophie Devine on 89.6, a gap of 0.0 points. Directly behind is Jim Laker on 89.6. 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.
