Jack Crawford was an incredibly gifted cricketer who played for Surrey while he was still a public schoolboy at Repton and for England at the age of 18. He was an amateur who seemed to have the world at his feet when a dispute in 1909 brought about a very public rift with his county. For an important game against the touring Australian team, for which Crawford was the county’s stand-in captain, Surrey omitted some key professionals for disciplinary issues. Crawford was unhappy not to be consulted, apologised to the Australians for the weakness of the home team and withdrew from the side. An angry series of letters flew between Crawford and Surrey’s President Lord Alverstone in which Crawford complained about the lack of respect with which the Committee had treated him given his amateur status while Alverstone demanded an apology for going against the decision of the county’s official captain, H. D. G. Leveson Gower. Within weeks, Crawford had effectively been banned from playing for Surrey until he apologised, Leveson Gower had used his influence as a Test selector to withdraw Crawford’s invitation to play for England in South Africa, and Crawf

Jack Crawford (cricketer)
English cricketer
John Neville Crawford (1 December 1886 – 2 May 1963) was an English first-class cricketer who played mainly for Surrey County Cricket Club and South Australia. An amateur, he played as an all-rounder. As a right-handed batsman, Crawford had a reputation for scoring quickly and hitting powerful shots. He bowled medium-pacedoff spin and was noted for his accuracy and his ability to make the ball turn sharply from the pitch. Unusually for a first-class cricketer, Crawford wore spectacles while playing.
Crawford established a reputation as an outstanding cricketer while still a schoolboy.

A dispute over the composition of a Surrey side chosen to play a high-profile game in 1909, after several professional players were omitted for disciplinary reasons, led to an increasingly bitter disagreement between Crawford and the Surrey authori
