Why Martin Crowe ranks #186 in Cricket
Martin Crowe ranks 186th among Cricket athletes on GOAT Rank and 1388th of 4013 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 84.4 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 82, Peak 92, Longevity 80, Honours 80, Statistics 90. 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 1982–1995 with 14 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1991, 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 5444, test centuries 17, tests played 77, highest score 299.
Immediately ahead sits Nida Dar on 84.6, a gap of 0.2 points. Directly behind is Bob Appleyard on 84.4. 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.
