Default Something about BD\'s former coach Barlow

Eddie Barlow is one of the men credited with turning South Africa into arguably the best team in the world 35 years ago.

BARLOW'S RECORD

Test cricket
30 matches, 2,516 runs, average 45.74, highest score 201, 40 wickets, 35 catches
First-class cricket
18,212 runs, average 39.16, highest score 217, 571 wickets, best figures 7-24, 335 catches
Limited overs cricket
2,983 runs, average 31.73, highest score 186, 161 wickets, 43 catches

Along with the Pollock brothers, Graeme and Peter, Barry Richards and Mike Procter, he was a member of the side which thrashed Australia 4-0 under the captaincy of Ali Bacher.

But such has been his interest in English cricket he was once accused of wearing Union Jack underpants by former South Africa Cricket Association - now the United Cricket Board - secretary Charles Fortune.

Barlow is now 64 and confined to a wheelchair after suffering a stroke in 2000.
