Why Tom Blundell ranks #223 in Cricket
Tom Blundell ranks 223rd among Cricket athletes on GOAT Rank and 1647th of 4013 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 83.0 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 78, Peak 88, Longevity 78, Honours 84, Statistics 90. 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 2013–present with 14 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 2021, which sets the Peak component at 88. Statistics is the defining strength of the profile at 90 out of 100, and it carries 15% of the final score. The underlying career record includes world test championship titles 1, test centuries 5, test runs 2200, test dismissals 150.
Immediately ahead sits Herschelle Gibbs on 83.0, a gap of 0.0 points. Directly behind is Bevan Congdon on 82.9. 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.
