ScorecardsScorecards breakdown for this player


Brother of Peter Crombie and son of club patron Bevan Crombie. Former St Kevin's 1st XI player and North Otago representative. Started playing for Union Seniors primarily as a bowler but quickly developed into an all-rounder. Currently holds the record for best bowling figures in a match taking 15-54 against St Kevin's College's 1st XI on the 30th of October 1993 and has the 5th highest number of wickets for Union Seniors in a career. After a leg injury that left a promising rugby career by the wayside his bowling slowed down to a more fast medium but due to have a keen tactical mind was no less lethal taking more wickets than before his injury. Appearance's have been rare in the past couple of seasons but a good man to have in the team when the pressure is starting to rise. Self-describes his bowling style as "fast as F****".(Dec 2007)
