Why Trent Boult ranks #69 in Cricket

Trent Boult ranks 69th among Cricket athletes on GOAT Rank and 451st of 2289 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 88.0 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 86, Peak 94, Longevity 82, Honours 86, 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 2011–present with 13 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 2019, which sets the Peak component at 94. Peak is the defining strength of the profile at 94 out of 100, and it carries 20% of the final score. The underlying career record includes test wickets 317, odi wickets 211, world test championship titles 1, test bowling average 27.5.

Immediately ahead sits Courtney Walsh on 88.0, a gap of 0.0 points. Directly behind is Deandra Dottin on 88.0. 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.
