Why Wasim Bari ranks #142 in Cricket

Wasim Bari ranks 142nd among Cricket athletes on GOAT Rank and 893rd of 2289 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 83.7 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 78, Peak 88, Longevity 90, Honours 74, Statistics 92. 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 1964–1984 with 16 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1972, 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 dismissals 228, tests played 81, dismissals in one innings 8, odi dismissals 62.

Immediately ahead sits Mashrafe Mortaza on 83.7, a gap of 0.0 points. Directly behind is Danni Wyatt-Hodge on 83.7. 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.
