Cricket writer, Colin Bateman, noted that Crapp was a "sound rather than spectacular batsman who scored 1,000 runs in all but one of his fifteen seasons – that was 1954, when he struggled with the Gloucestershire captaincy".[1] Crapp went on to become an umpire for twenty two seasons, including standing in four Test matches.[1]
