Why Jack Crawford ranks #156 in Cricket
Jack Crawford ranks 156th among Cricket athletes on GOAT Rank and 1314th of 2289 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 80.1 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 74, Peak 90, Longevity 78, Honours 74, Statistics 88. 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 1904–1923 with 15 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1907, 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 tests played 12, test wickets 39, first-class wickets 1146, first-class runs 9488.
Immediately ahead sits Kim Barnett on 80.6, a gap of 0.5 points. Directly behind is Lizelle Lee on 80.1. 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.
