He was a right-arm fast bowler.

During the 1956 tour to England, Crawford was denied permission to have his pregnant wife accompany him on the sea voyage by the Australian Board of Control under its policy against spouses travelling with the team; she travelled separately.

Crawford suffered an injury during his debut Test at Lord's and bowled only 29 balls.
