Why Tom Dollery ranks #195 in Cricket
Tom Dollery ranks 195th among Cricket athletes on GOAT Rank and 1438th of 4013 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 84.1 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 78, Peak 88, Longevity 88, Honours 78, 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 1934–1955 with 22 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1947, 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 24413, first-class centuries 50, county championships as captain 1, tests played 4.
Immediately ahead sits Bill Copson on 84.2, a gap of 0.1 points. Directly behind is Andy Ducat on 84.2. 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.
