Paul Barton Cricketer

Paul Thomas Barton (born 9 October 1935, Wellington) is a former New Zealand cricketer who played in 7 Tests from 1961 to 1963. He played his state cricket for Wellington, with moderate success, but marked his test debut on tour against South Africa in Durban with a fine half century. His other test innings of note came in the final game of the same series, when he made 109 in Port Elizabeth. This promising first series cemented his place in the test team against England in the spring of 1963 but a string of failures followed and he was dropped back to state cricket.
