Why Peter Burge ranks #153 in Cricket
Peter Burge ranks 153rd among Cricket athletes on GOAT Rank and 1203rd of 2289 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 80.9 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 74, Peak 90, Longevity 82, 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 1952–1968 with 11 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1962, 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 test runs 2290, tests played 42, test centuries 4, test batting average 38.16.
Immediately ahead sits Mark Alleyne on 81.6, a gap of 0.7 points. Directly behind is Umar Gul on 80.9. 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.
