Barry James Keith Pryer (1 February 1925 – 15 October 2007) was an English cricketer who played first-class cricket between 1946 and 1950, mostly for Kent County Cricket Club and Cambridge University. He was born in Plumstead and died in Perth, Western Australia.[1]
Pryer attended the City of London School and served in the Fleet Air Arm before going up to St Catharine's College, Cambridge.[2][3] A leg-spin bowler and lower-order batsman, he took his best bowling figures of 4 for 25 on his first-class debut for Combined Services against Surrey in 1946.[4] In Cambridge's match against Worcestershire in 1949 he had match figures of 57–19–133–7.[5] His highest score was 75 not out for Cambridge against Middlesex in 1948, when he and Richard Pearsall added an unbeaten 149 in 90 minutes for the ninth wicket.[6]
Pryer and his wife Faye spent some years in the late 1960s and early 1970s in Iraq, where he worked as a lawyer for the Iraq Petroleum Group of Companies in Baghdad.[7] He moved to Australia after his retirement.[3]
