John Cowie (born March 30, 1912, Auckland, died June 3, 1994, Lower Hutt, Wellington) was a New Zealand cricketer who played in nine Tests from 1937 to 1949. His Test opportunities were restricted by New Zealand's limited programme, exacerbated by the occurrence of World War II from 1939 to 1945. Following the 1937 tour of England, Wisden commented: 'Had he been an Australian, he might have been termed a wonder of the age.'[1]
In 1956, Cowie made his debut as a Test umpire; he officiated in a total of three Test matches. In addition, Cowie played professional soccer in the winter.
