Why Warwick Armstrong ranks #109 in Cricket
Warwick Armstrong ranks 109th among Cricket athletes on GOAT Rank and 931st of 4013 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 87.1 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 86, Peak 92, Longevity 86, Honours 84, 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 1902–1921 with 20 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1916, which sets the Peak component at 92. Peak is the defining strength of the profile at 92 out of 100, and it carries 20% of the final score. The underlying career record includes test runs 2863, test wickets 87, consecutive test wins as captain 8, tests played 50.
Immediately ahead sits Justin Langer on 87.1, a gap of 0.0 points. Directly behind is Mohinder Amarnath on 87.1. 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.
