#7 Robert William 'Bob' Barber [England]

A southpaw and a wily wrist spinner, Bob Barber made optimum use of the limited opportunities he got at the international level. Barber initially represented Lancashire and consistent performances slotted him into the captain's role in the 1959-1960 season.

Soon enough, he saw himself taking to field for his debut test against South Africa and although he did not contribute much, his talent helped him keep his place and in 28 test matches, Barber scored 1495 runs and picked 42 wickets, although the wickets came at a rather steep average.

However, some issues forced Barber to shift base to Warwickshire, where he was given the freedom to express himself through his shot-making, after which he decided to call it quits in 1971.
