Description
John Paul Crawley is a retired English professional cricketer, who played international cricket for England and county cricket for Hampshire and Lancashire. Crawley, one of three brothers who all played first-class cricket, was a right-handed batsman and occasional wicket-keeper.
Nicknamed "Creepy", he promised much in his early career; he was a leading run-scorer at Under-19 international level and Young Cricketer of the Year in 1994. An elegant leg-side hitter and player of spin bowling, a lack of off-side shots hampered his international career, as did injury. Though he enjoyed a rejuvenation in 2002 when he joined Hampshire, following legal battles with Lancashire, and celebrated his recall to the England team with a Test century at Lord's, Crawley only played in 37 Test matches in total.
Crawley nevertheless remained prolific a domestic level, maintaining a batting average of 46.49 into his late-thirties.
