After being tried unsuccessfully as an opener he was dropped by Surrey before returning to bat at no. 5 in the batting order. Although he scored more than 1000 runs it was a poor season for Barrington averaging only 30, which was not helped by suffering from a broken toe at one stage. Own Team O M R W Opp Ct Total Total 76.
