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.
