Why Willis Cuttell ranks #162 in Cricket
Willis Cuttell ranks 162nd among Cricket athletes on GOAT Rank and 1569th of 2289 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 77.5 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 68, Peak 86, Longevity 82, Honours 70, Statistics 86. 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 1890–1906 with 11 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1898, which sets the Peak component at 86. Peak is the defining strength of the profile at 86 out of 100, and it carries 20% of the final score. The underlying career record includes tests played 2, first-class wickets 1013, first-class runs 8562, wisden cricketer of the year awards 1.
Immediately ahead sits John Childs on 77.8, a gap of 0.3 points. Directly behind is Liam Dawson on 74.9. 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.
