Graham Barlow

Graham Derek Barlow (born 26 March 1950) is a former cricketer and was a middle-order batsman for Middlesex and, briefly, for England.

Early life Educated at the former Ealing Grammar School for Boys (now Ealing, Hammersmith and West London College), Barlow was both a talented cricketer and rugby player in his youth. He has been capped for the England under-23 Rugby Union team. but as Sri Lanka were five years short of Test status, this did not count towards his Test record. At the start of the 1977 Australia tour of England he top-scored for England in their first victory over Australia of the summer in a One Day International in Manchester, but he was dropped after another failure in the first Test of the summer. In five Test innings, Barlow never reached double figures, and defensive flaws saw him ultimately overlooked. He later resided in Whangārei, teaching.
