Richard Trevor Barber (3 June 1925 – 7 August 2015)[1] was a New Zealand cricketer who played in one Test match against the West Indies at Wellington in 1956.
Barber was born in Ōtaki, on the Kāpiti Coast north of Wellington, where his family had a dairy farm.
[4] Dick Brittenden wrote that Barber "could field anywhere with distinction", especially slips and gully, and that "his cover drive, produced from the best blend of balance and timing, was for the connoisseur".
[2] On the death of Sammy Guillen on 1 March 2013, Barber became the oldest surviving New Zealand Test cricketer.
Following his death aged 90 in August 2015, John Reid became the oldest surviving New Zealand Test cricketer.
