Jack Crawford (cricketer)

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! John Neville ("e;Jack"e;) Crawford (1 December 1886 - 2 May 1963) was an English first-class cricketer who played mainly for Surrey.

An amateur, he played as an all-rounder and was highly regarded from an unusually early age before a disagreement with his county curtailed his career.

A right-handed batsman, Crawford had a reputation for scoring quickly and hitting powerful shots.

With the ball, he bowled medium-paced off spin and was noted for his accuracy and ability to make the ball turn sharply from the pitch.

Unusually, Crawford wore spectacles while playing.
