Charles John Barnett was an English cricketer who played in 20 Tests from 1933 to 1948. One of the most stylish batsman of the 1930s, Barnett began his career in the middle order for Gloucestershire but made his name as an opener after the retirement of A.E. Dipper in 1932. The greater responsibility added a tighter defence to his flashing array of drives and cuts and he was picked for England against the West Indies in 1933.

  • Charles John Barnett was an English cricketer who played in 20 Tests from 1933 to 1948. One of the most stylish batsman of the 1930s, Barnett began his career in the middle order for Gloucestershire but made his name as an opener after the retirement of A.E. Dipper in 1932. The greater responsibility added a tighter defence to his flashing array of drives and cuts and he was picked for England against the West Indies in 1933. He marked his debut with a half century at number 8 and passed 2,000 runs for the season. Although he remained vulnerable to an early dismissal, once set he was a formidable player and he recorded 48 centuries in all, 11 sixes in an innings of 194 against Somerset in 1934 a testament to the power of his stroke play. He failed to pass 1,500 runs in only two seasons and gradually developed his left arm medium pace as a useful adjunct to his batting. He scored two Test centuries, putting on 219 for the first wicket with Len Hutton against Australia at Trent Bridge in 1938 as England compiled 658 for eight, but his career, like so many others, was stymied by the Second World War. He returned after the war in four more tests with little success, retired from the county game to take up a league engagement for Rochdale and later ran his own meat and poultry business. He was one of Wisden's five Cricketers of the Year in 1937. He also played football for Cheltenham Town F.C.
