Why Trevor Bailey ranks #165 in Cricket
Trevor Bailey ranks 165th among Cricket athletes on GOAT Rank and 1233rd of 4013 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 85.3 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 78, Peak 88, Longevity 88, Honours 84, 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 1945–1967 with 23 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1954, 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 test runs 2290, test wickets 132, first-class runs 28641, first-class wickets 2082.
Immediately ahead sits Warren Bardsley on 85.3, a gap of 0.0 points. Directly behind is Johnny Douglas on 85.3. 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.
