Barrington Rowland
Rowland was named after the great England batsman Ken Barrington by his father Lincoln, Barrington Marquis Rowland had a long career for Karnataka in the Ranji Trophy, and was often said to be close to Indian selection. His 10 centuries included 283 against Madhya Pradesh in Bangalore in November 2004, and he made two other doubles as well – but that Indian call never did come, although his regular opening partner Robin Uthappa (with whom Barrington shared a stand of 324 in that MP game) did have a run in the national side. Rowland, who is still only 31, faded out of first-class cricket after an indifferent start to the 2007-08 season.
