'''Barrington Noel Jarman''' {{post-nominals|country=AUS|OAM}} (17 February 1936{{spnd}}17 July 2020) was an Australian [[Test cricket]]er and [[International Cricket Council]] (ICC) [[match referee]].<ref name=ci-profile>{{cite web|first=Daniel|last=Brettig|date=18 July 2020|url=https://www.espncricinfo.com/story/_/id/29484345/former-australian-captain-barry-jarman-dies |title=Former Australian captain Barry Jarman dies |work=ESPNcricinfo |access-date=18 July 2020}}</ref> Jarman played in 19 Test matches for the [[Australian cricket team]] between 1959 and 1969, including one match as captain.<ref name="CA"/>

==Early life==
Jarman was born in [[Hindmarsh, South Australia]], and later attended the Thebarton Technical High School.<ref name=ci-profile/><ref>{{Cite news |last=Turner |first=Matt |date=13 February 2019 |title=Jarman heads the best of the boys from the west |work=The Messenger}}</ref> He played club cricket for Woodville Cricket Club in [[South Australian Grade Cricket League|South Australian district cricket]]. After playing in the club's schoolboy team as an 11-year-old in 1948, Jarman began playing senior cricket during the 1949/50 season and made his [[Grade cricket|A-Grade]] debut in 1952 at the age of 15.<ref name=woodvillecc>{{Cite web |title=B N (Barry) Jarman OAM |url=http://woodvillecricket.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/WDCC-75-History_plus-photos.pdf|publisher=Woodville Cricket Club|page=42 |access-date=19 July 2020}}</ref>

While playing [[Australian rules football]] for [[West Torrens Football Club]] Colts in the [[South Australian National Football League]] (SANFL) junior competition, Jarman broke his leg which led him to focus on cricket.<ref>{{Cite web |date=21 September 1953 |title=Footballer hurt |url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article48933280 |access-date=19 July 2020 |website=The Advertiser |location=Adelaide |pages=10}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |last=Dinjaski |first=Melanie |date=18 July 2020 |title=Former Aussie Test cricketer Barry Jarman dies |url=https://wwos.nine.com.au/cricket/barry-jarman-dies-former-cricketer-australian-wicketkeeper/73bb0b78-6f68-444d-a38a-5ebd2beadfa7 |access-date=19 July 2020 |website=Wide World of Sports |publisher=Nine Digital|language=en}}</ref>

==Career==
On his [[first-class cricket]] debut for [[South Australia cricket team|South Australia]] against [[New South Wales cricket team|New South Wales]] at the [[Adelaide Oval]] in December 1955, Jarman scored 14 and nine runs and took three catches.<ref>{{Cite web |title=First-Class Matches played by Barry Jarman |url=https://cricketarchive.com/Archive/Players/1/1120/First-Class_Matches.html |access-date=19 July 2020 |website=CricketArchive|url-access=subscription}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=Full Scorecard of South Australia vs New South Wales, Sheffield Shield 1955 |url=https://www.espncricinfo.com/series/8043/scorecard/356819/south-australia-vs-new-south-wales-sheffield-shield-1955-56 |access-date=19 July 2020 |website=ESPNcricinfo |language=en}}</ref> Fourteen months and seven first-class matches later he was selected in the [[Australia national cricket team|Australian team]] touring [[New Zealand cricket team|New Zealand]], where he played in the unofficial Test series. Jarman was then selected as one of two wicket-keepers for the [[Australian cricket team in South Africa in 1957–58|1957–58 tour of South Africa]],<ref name="CA"/> but was overlooked in favour of [[Wally Grout]], who then became Australia's first choice wicket-keeper.<ref>Grout W, p. 36</ref>
[[File:Barry Jarman graph.png|300px|thumb|right|Barry Jarman's Test career batting graph.]]
Jarman made his Test debut, in the absence of an injured Grout, in December 1959 against [[India national cricket team|India]] at [[Green Park Stadium]], [[Kanpur]] during [[Australian cricket team in India in 1959–60|Australia's tour of India]], making one and a [[Duck (cricket)|duck]] and taking two catches.<ref name="CA"/><ref>{{Cite web |title=Full Scorecard of India vs Australia 2nd Test 1959 |url=https://www.espncricinfo.com/series/17381/scorecard/62869/india-vs-australia-2nd-test-australia-tour-of-india-1959-60 |access-date=22 July 2020 |website=ESPNcricinfo |language=en}}</ref> Grout recovered and Jarman again became reserve keeper, [[Australian cricket team in England in 1961|touring England in 1961]] without playing a Test.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Statsguru - ATW Grout - Test Matches |url=https://stats.espncricinfo.com/ci/engine/player/5449.html?class=1;template=results;type=allround;view=match |access-date=22 July 2020 |website=ESPNcricinfo}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=Statsguru - BN Jarman - Test Matches |url=https://stats.espncricinfo.com/ci/engine/player/6013.html?class=1;template=results;type=allround;view=match |access-date=22 July 2020 |website=ESPNcricinfo}}</ref>

A broken jaw to Grout led to Jarman's return to Test cricket, against [[England cricket team|England]] at [[Brisbane Cricket Ground|Brisbane]] in the First Test of the [[1962-63 Ashes series]]. He made two runs, took three catches and held his spot until Grout returned for the Fourth Test.<ref>{{Cite news |last=Beames |first=Percy |date=27 November 1962 |title=Injury to Grout, Jarman for Test |language=en |work=The Age |url=http://www.newspapers.com/image/122030712/ |access-date=22 July 2020|url-access=subscription|via=Newspapers.com}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=Full Scorecard of Australia vs England 1st Test 1962 |url=https://www.espncricinfo.com/series/17355/scorecard/62921/australia-vs-england-1st-test-england-marylebone-cricket-club-tour-of-australia-1962-63 |access-date=22 July 2020 |website=ESPNcricinfo |language=en}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=Full Scorecard of Australia vs England 2nd Test 1962 |url=https://www.espncricinfo.com/series/17355/scorecard/62922/australia-vs-england-2nd-test-england-marylebone-cricket-club-tour-of-australia-1962-63 |access-date=22 July 2020 |website=ESPNcricinfo |language=en}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=Full Scorecard of England vs Australia 3rd Test 1963 |url=https://www.espncricinfo.com/series/17355/scorecard/62923/australia-vs-england-3rd-test-england-marylebone-cricket-club-tour-of-australia-1962-63 |access-date=22 July 2020 |website=ESPNcricinfo |language=en}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=Full Scorecard of Australia vs England 4th Test 1963 |url=https://www.espncricinfo.com/series/17355/scorecard/62924/australia-vs-england-4th-test-england-marylebone-cricket-club-tour-of-australia-1962-63 |access-date=22 July 2020 |website=ESPNcricinfo |language=en}}</ref>

Jarman next returned to Test cricket during the [[Australian cricket team in India in 1964–65|1964–65 tour of India]], where he made his highest Test score of 78 at [[Brabourne Stadium]], [[Mumbai]]. Following Grout's retirement in 1966, Jarman became the first-choice wicket-keeper, playing in series against India, England and [[West Indian cricket team|West Indies]]. He was appointed vice-captain of the Australian side for the [[Australian cricket team in England in 1968|1968 tour of England]] and, following a finger injury to captain [[Bill Lawry]],<ref name="CA"/> Jarman captained Australia in the [[Headingley Cricket Ground|Headingley]] Test.<ref name="CA"/> Needing only to draw the match, Australia "concentrated solely on avoiding defeat". The match was drawn and Australia retained [[the Ashes]].<ref>{{Cite web |title=England v Australia |url=http://www.espncricinfo.com/wisdenalmanack/content/story/150227.html |access-date=19 July 2020|date=1969|via=ESPNcricinfo |website=Wisden Cricketers' Almanack}}</ref>

Jarman retired from cricket at the end of the 1968–69 series against the [[West Indian cricket team in Australia in 1968–69|touring West Indies]], having played 19 Tests, scoring 400 runs at an [[batting average (cricket)|average]] of 14.81 runs per innings and taking 50 catches and four [[stumping]]s. In [[first-class cricket]], he scored 5,615 runs at an average of 22.73 and took 431 catches and 129 stumpings in 191 matches, a wicket-keeping record bettered at the time among Australians only by Grout and [[Bert Oldfield]].<ref name="CA"/>

==Later life==
Following his retirement from first-class cricket, Jarman became involved in [[horse racing]] and cricket administration, eventually leading to his 1995 appointment as one of the first ICC [[match referee]]s,<ref name="CA"/> a role overseeing players and officials during international games. He was a referee in 53 matches at Test and [[One Day International]] level between 1995 and 2001.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Barry Jarman as Referee in Test Matches |url=https://cricketarchive.com/Archive/Players/1/1120/Referee_in_Test_Matches.html |access-date=19 July 2020 |website=CricketArchive|url-access=subscription}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=Barry Jarman as Referee in ODI Matches |url=https://cricketarchive.com/Archive/Players/1/1120/Referee_in_ODI_Matches.html |access-date=19 July 2020 |website=CricketArchive|url-access=subscription}}</ref>
