Yeah... Martin Crowe I think? Right handed batsman, scored a 299 once if I remember correctly. I'll check cricinfo later for more details.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Martin_Crowe

" In 1991, he shared a 467-run partnership with Andrew Jones, at the time the highest partnership in Test history. Crowe was dismissed on 299, the highest innings by a New Zealander in Test history."

Jeff and Martin Crowe are his cousins.

Martin is perhaps NZ's greatest batsman.

Jeff Captained the NZ team that toured the WI in 1985.
Jeff was also instrumental in getting Tony Gray his County contract.
