Jack Barley
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jack Charles Barley (born 4 December 1887 in Eton, Buckinghamshire; date and place of death unknown) was an English cricketer: a right-handed batsman and wicket-keeper who played four first-class matches, all for different teams. He scored 12 runs in eight innings and made five dismissals: one stumping and four catches.
His debut came for Sussex against Cambridge University in 1908; he had a quiet match, taking only one catch and scoring 0 and 1 with the bat. The following year he played for HDG Leveson-Gower's XI against Oxford University, for Worcestershire against the same opposition, and finally for Oxford against Surrey.
Barley has one minor claim to fame: he shared in Worcestershire's record eleventh-wicket partnership - albeit one of just 9 - with Maurice Jewell in their 12-a-side match against Oxford.
