About Terry Barwell

  • Terence Ian Barwell was a South African born cricketer who played first-class and List A cricket for Somerset over a 10-season period from 1959 to 1968.
  • He later represented Wiltshire in the Minor Counties and played List A cricket for both Wiltshire and for Minor Counties representative sides. Born at Bloemhof in Transvaal on 29 April 1937, Barwell was a right-handed middle-order batsman and an occasional wicketkeeper.
  • Towards the end of his first-class career, when he played for Somerset's second eleven, he also bowled with some success. Barwell played first for Somerset in 1959 in a match against the Combined Services, keeping wicket and making the only stumping of his first-class career.
  • Unable to play County Championship cricket until 1961 as he qualified for the county by residence, his appearances were in any case restricted in some seasons by his career as a schoolmaster.
  • But even in those seasons when he was more regularly available, he often found himself a fringe first-team player, never making more than 11 first-class appearances in any one season and managing a highest season aggregate of just 410 runs, which he achieved in 1967.His best score was an unbeaten and quick 84 against Glamorgan at Weston-super-Mare in 1965.
  • He also made 74 not out against the Pakistanis in 1967, though he was much upstaged by a second wicket partnership of 262 between Roy Virgin and Mervyn Kitchen, who made 162 and 189 respectively.
  • He appeared in Somerset's losing Gillette Cup side of 1967, being run out for 24 in what Wisden termed "a fearful mix-up" with Graham Burgess.
  • After starting the 1968 season as a regular member of the side, he dropped out after a few games and did not regain his place. In second eleven cricket, Barwell was a reliable and prolific scorer, acting as batsman, occasional wicketkeeper, sometime captain and, more rarely, bowler.
  • His final match for the combined Gloucestershire and Somerset Second Eleven side in 1968 saw him make 45 out of 54 added while he was at the wicket in a first innings that totalled only 78, top-score in the second innings with 68 and then take four wickets for 14 runs as the combined side recovered to force a draw with Kent's second eleven.After leaving Somerset, he played for Wiltshire, appearing in first-round Gillette Cup matches against Hampshire in both 1972 and 1973, and also turning out for the Minor Counties representative side in the Benson and Hedges Cup.
  • In 1973, he made a single final first-class cricket appearance for the Minor Counties side against the West Indies at Torquay.As a schoolmaster, he taught at Dr Morgan's School, Bridgwater, Marlborough College and at Blundell's School.
