Barry Jarman was a good right-handed batsman who struggled in his 19 Test matches. He was eventually elevated to number one status after following on from Wally Grout after many years in his shadow. Jarman toured England three times, once as Vice captain in 1968. He also toured India, Pakistan, New Zealand, West Indies and South Africa. As a member of the squad for 11 series and playing only 19 matches, it showed how hard it was for him as a second string wicket keeper.

It was on the tour to England in 1968 that he had the honour of leading his country at Headingley (Bill Lawry out injured) for the only time in his career. He was a hard hitting batsman, scoring his highest Test score of 78 against India in Calcutta (1964/5) but failed to turn his first class form into test matches with the bat (highest FC score of 196 in 1965/6 against New South Wales at home for his state side South Australia)
