As an elegant right-handed batsman Rowe, also known as "Yagga", was described by [[Michael Holding]], his teammate, as "the best batsman I ever saw". It was felt that his ability was so extraordinary that [[Gary Sobers]] believed he could have been the greatest of all West Indian batsmen. At one game Rowe hit a ball so cleanly that it followed a level trajectory like a guided missile over the boundary for six. [[Gideon Haigh]] describes the incident:
<blockquote>
Early in his innings against England at [[Kensington Oval]], Bridgetown, Barbados, in March 1974, he received a bouncer from [[Bob Willis]]. He smashed it flat into the stand at square leg; it travelled most of the way at head height. His 302 took only 430 hectic deliveries, with 36 further boundaries.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.theage.com.au/sport/cricket/when-talent-proves-a-rowe-too-hard-to-hoe-20040306-gdxfzd.html|title=When talent proves a Rowe too hard to hoe|date=6 March 2004|website=The Age|accessdate=22 October 2018}}</ref>
