About Graham Barlow

Graham Derek Barlow is a former cricketer and was a middle-order batsman for Middlesex and, briefly, for England. Barlow won many one-day games for his team, helping Middlesex to win the Gillette Cup in 1977 and 1980, the 1983 Benson & Hedges Cup and the 1984 NatWest Trophy. At the end of this tour he made a century in a match for the England XI against the Sri Lankans, but as Sri Lanka were five years short of Test status, this did not count towards his Test record.
