Bowes, a flyhalf, was first capped for the Rhodesian rugby union team in 1970. A former Hamilton High School student, he played at club level for Old Miltonians. Off the field he worked for a Bulawayo steel company.[1]

As a right-arm fast-medium bowler, Bowes was a good enough cricketer to appear in four first-class cricket matches for the Rhodesia cricket team. Three of those were in the 1971/72 Currie Cup season and the other in 1974/75.[2] His best performances came on debut, against Eastern Province, when he took 3-38 in the first innings, including the wickets of both openers.[3]
