There are countless ways to apply techniques in a cross-stance; your imagination being the only limit - well, almost. I personally think that it's a good stance to exert a good amount of weight and resistance on the opponent, since your torso will be tilted towards him while pushing with eg. a jit kiu (intercepting bridge). Another example would be a block against a kick, where you shift into a cross-stance and do a lok kiu or ji lau (downward blocks) to repel the attack while maintaining a solid stance pending to be opened up (hoi ma) for the next technique.
