Why Tim Southee ranks #77 in Cricket
Tim Southee ranks 77th among Cricket athletes on GOAT Rank and 473rd of 2289 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 87.8 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 82, Peak 90, Longevity 92, Honours 84, 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 2008–2024 with 17 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 2014, which sets the Peak component at 90. Statistics is the defining strength of the profile at 94 out of 100, and it carries 15% of the final score. The underlying career record includes test wickets 391, odi wickets 221, tests played 107, world test championship titles 1.
Immediately ahead sits Arjuna Ranatunga on 87.9, a gap of 0.1 points. Directly behind is Belinda Clark on 87.6. 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.
