Why Ted Dexter ranks #252 in Cricket
Ted Dexter ranks 252nd among Cricket athletes on GOAT Rank and 2059th of 4013 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 81.2 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 78, Peak 92, Longevity 74, Honours 78, Statistics 86. 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 1958–1968 with 11 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1963, which sets the Peak component at 92. Peak is the defining strength of the profile at 92 out of 100, and it carries 20% of the final score. The underlying career record includes test runs 4502, test centuries 9, tests as captain 30, test wickets 66.
Immediately ahead sits Geoff Arnold on 81.3, a gap of 0.1 points. Directly behind is Michael Atherton on 81.1. 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.
