John Neville Crawford 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. Crawford established a reputation as an outstanding cricketer while still a schoolboy and played Test cricket for England before he was 21 years old. In two successive seasons, he completed the double of 1,000 runs and 100 wickets in first-class games and successfully toured Australia with Marylebone Cricket Club in 1907 08
