Why Suzie Bates ranks #63 in Cricket

Suzie Bates ranks 63rd among Cricket athletes on GOAT Rank and 405th of 2289 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 88.3 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 84, Peak 90, Longevity 94, Honours 82, 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–present with 19 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 2012, which sets the Peak component at 90. Longevity 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 5500, t20 international runs 4000, odi centuries 13, player of the year awards 1.

Immediately ahead sits Mahela Jayawardene on 88.3, a gap of 0.0 points. Directly behind is Lisa Sthalekar on 88.3. 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.
