Why Tim Bresnan ranks #228 in Cricket
Tim Bresnan ranks 228th among Cricket athletes on GOAT Rank and 1735th of 4013 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 82.6 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 76, Peak 88, Longevity 84, Honours 80, Statistics 88. 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 2001–2021 with 21 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 2011, which sets the Peak component at 88. Peak is the defining strength of the profile at 88 out of 100, and it carries 20% of the final score. The underlying career record includes consecutive tests won 13, test wickets 72, test runs 575, ashes series won 2.
Immediately ahead sits Basil D'Oliveira on 82.7, a gap of 0.1 points. Directly behind is Walter Brearley on 82.6. 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.
