He was picked for the First Test but withdrew with back problems. At Lord’s he scored 75 in a match ruined by rain when England were in a strong position. A duck at Edgbaston followed by 49 and 46 not out at Headingley and he was then dropped for the Oval match. Barrington had a disappointing end to his last first-class season when scoring only 30 runs in six innings. Own Team O M R W Opp Ct Total Total 509.
