Why Warren Bardsley ranks #164 in Cricket

Warren Bardsley ranks 164th among Cricket athletes on GOAT Rank and 1232nd 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 82, Peak 90, Longevity 88, Honours 80, Statistics 88. 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 1903–1926 with 24 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1913, which sets the Peak component at 90. Peak is the defining strength of the profile at 90 out of 100, and it carries 20% of the final score. The underlying career record includes test runs 2469, test centuries 6, first-class runs 17025, first-class centuries 53.

Immediately ahead sits Alan Davidson on 85.3, a gap of 0.0 points. Directly behind is Trevor Bailey 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.
