Crowe represented New Zealand from the early 1980s until his retirement in 1996, and was probably the country's best-ever right-handed batsman. Through the early part of his career he was also a medium-pace bowler. He captained New Zealand in the early 1990s. During this period he brought many innovations, such as opening with spin bowlers (like Dipak Patel) rather than fast ones and opening with pinch hitting batsmen. Whilst captaining in the 1992 World Cup, New Zealand lost only two matches (both to Pakistan), one in the group stages and one in the semi finals. He is generally accredited for this unprecedented success.

This elegant right handed batsman was unfortunate to play only three times for his country. He scored 140 on his debut for Queensland in 1974-75 season but the powerful Australian middle order of the seventies, dominated by the Chappell brothers and Doug Walters kept him out of contention for international honours. Opportunity did arise when Kerry Packer bought up most of the leading stars in 1977, but he chose World Series Cricket instead of staying with the traditional game. He would certainly have played in the 1978-79 Ashes series otherwise.
