barry milburn

barry douglas milburn -lrb- born in dunedin on 24 november 1943 -rrb- was a cricketer who played three tests for new zealand in 1969 .
milburn was a lower-order right-handed batsman and a competent wicketkeeper who played for otago from 1963 to 1983 .
he was one of a succession of new zealand test wicketkeepers of modest batting ability in the mid to late 1960s , and was first choice for only one test series , the three matches in new zealand against the west indies in 1968-69 when , like his predecessor roy harford he batted at number 11 .
milburn also toured england in 1969 and india in 1969-70 , but ken wadsworth , a much better bat , was seen as the principal keeper on both tours , though an injury in the later stages of the england tour did not help milburn 's cause at a time when wadsworth was also struggling for runs .
milburn dropped out of first-class cricket after the 1973-74 season , but returned for otago in 1980-81 , scoring a century in his comeback match against wellington , when he went in as a nightwatchman .
his second highest score in a near-20-year career was only 36 .
he finally retired after the 1982-83 season .
milburn 's daughter rowan has kept wicket for both the netherlands and new zealand at international level .
