William Crawshaw

William Crawshaw was a New Zealand cricketer. He played first-class cricket for Canterbury [cricket team|Canterbury], Otago, Taranaki and Wellington between 1877 and 1898.
Crawshaw moved around New Zealand in his work for the Bank of New Zealand. An opening batsman, he scored 106, his only first-class century, in March 1897, when Taranaki beat Hawke's [Bay cricket team|Hawke's Bay] by an innings and 42 runs. It was also Taranaki's only individual first-class century, in Taranaki's only first-class victory.
In January 1898, in a non-first-class match for Taranaki against a team from Wanganui, he carried his bat for 174 not out in a team total of 363 in five hours. It was part of a sequence of four innings in which he made 54 not out, 115 not out, 174 not out, and 71: 414 runs for once out.
Crawshaw retired in 1916 and went to live in England.
