Why Ted Bowley ranks #208 in Cricket
Ted Bowley ranks 208th among Cricket athletes on GOAT Rank and 1515th of 4013 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 83.7 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 78, Peak 88, Longevity 90, Honours 74, 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 1912–1934 with 23 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1924, which sets the Peak component at 88. Statistics is the defining strength of the profile at 92 out of 100, and it carries 15% of the final score. The underlying career record includes first-class runs 28378, first-class centuries 52, highest score 283, tests played 5.
Immediately ahead sits Danni Wyatt-Hodge on 83.7, a gap of 0.0 points. Directly behind is Billy Barnes on 83.6. 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.
