Crawshaw moved around New Zealand in his work for the Bank of New Zealand.[2] An opening batsman, he scored 106, his only first-class century, in March 1897, when Taranaki beat Hawke's Bay by an innings and 42 runs.[3] 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.[4] 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.[5]

Crawshaw retired in 1916 and went to live in England.[6]
