'''Barney Guy Rogers''' (born 20 August 1982) is a Zimbabwean former international [[cricket]]er. He played four [[Test cricket|Test matches]] and 15 [[One Day International]]s (ODIs) for the [[Zimbabwe national cricket team]] between 2002 and 2005 and [[first-class cricket]] in Zimbabwean domestic competitions. He played as a left-handed [[batsman]] who bowled occasional [[off-spin]]. Rogers was good enough at [[field hockey]] to play at under-20 level for Zimbabwe.
Barney Rogers was born into a cricketing family and his dad must take credit for his technique. Barney is actually a natural right-hander but his father felt that you should have the stronger hand at the top of the handle and he switched him around. Barney attended Brydon Country School and played in their 1st Eleven as an allrounder along with [[Sean Ervine]]. His secondary education was at St. John's College where he was captain of the first eleven.


==Early career==
Barney was admitted to the CFX Academy in 2001 and impressed head coach [[Dave Houghton]], playing as an opener in the [[Logan Cup]] and scoring four fifties in five games.

Barney was selected to tour England in 2003 but didn't do well at all and was sent home after the Test series. But his domestic form for [[Mashonaland]] was good and he made his ODI debut against [[West Indies]] at the end of the year. In three games as opener he scored a fifty in the match Zimbabwe won. Against [[Bangladesh cricket team|Bangladesh]], he played as opener and scored a fifty in the decisive third ODI victory. He then joined [[Heath Streak]]'s rebellion and played no part in the ODI series against [[Sri Lanka national cricket team|Sri Lanka]], [[Australia national cricket team|Australia]] and [[England cricket team|England]]. He was, along with [[Gavin Ewing]] and [[Charles Coventry]] the first player to settle the dispute with the board. He must have realised that as a young man he might only get this chance at high-class cricket.


==International career==
He made the tour to Bangladesh but looked out of touch in the Test series. It was in the ODI series that Barney showed his quality, scoring three fifties and taking three wickets as Zimbabwe unluckily lost 2-3 after being two up. He was named as man of the series and opened the batting in [[South Africa]], his best score being 47 in the second ODI.
His domestic form for [[Mashonaland cricket team|Mashonaland]] led to Rogers making his ODI debut against [[Pakistan national cricket team|Pakistan]] in November 2002.

However, a row over contracts led to him being sidelined despite his excellent ODI record just before the [[New Zealand]] series in 2005. To date, he has not been recalled or offered a contract.

Barney rates [[Harbhajan Singh]], who he faced in a tour match for the CFX Academy as the toughest bowler he has ever faced. His cricketing heroes are [[Jacques Kallis]], [[Gary Kirsten]] "for his ability to build an innings." and [[Sachin Tendulkar]] "Obviously". Barney was good enough at [[field hockey]] to play at U20 level for Zimbabwe and his favourite recreation is spear fishing.

Barney Guy Rogers (born 20 August 1982) is a Zimbabwean former international cricketer. He played four Test matches and 15 One Day Internationals (ODIs) for the Zimbabwe national cricket team between 2002 and 2005 and first-class cricket in Zimbabwean domestic competitions. He played as a left-handed batsman who bowled occasional off-spin. Rogers was good enough at field hockey to play at under-20 level for Zimbabwe.

Early career

[edit]

Rogers was born at Harare into a cricketing family and was coached by his father from an early age. He is naturally right-handed but his father felt that the stronger hand should be used at the top of the handle and he coached Rogers to bat right-handed.[1][2] He attended Brydon Country School and played in their 1st XI as an all-rounder alongside future international Sean Ervine. His secondary education was at St. John's College where he was captain of the 1st XI. He played in Zimbabwe under-13 and under-19 sides.[1]

Rogers was admitted to the CFX Academy in 2001 and impressed head coach David Houghton, making his first-class cricket debut for the side playing as an opening batsman in the Logan Cup, scoring four fifties in five games.[1][2]

International career

[edit]

His domestic form for Mashonaland led to Rogers making his ODI debut against Pakistan in November 2002. He was selected to tour England in 2003 but did not play well, scoring only 11 runs in the three first-class matches in which he played. He played ODIs against West Indies and Bangladesh in 2003 and 2004, scoring a pair of half-centuries against Bangladesh.[2]

A dispute with the Zimbabwe Cricket Union meant that he played no part in the side for a period of time. He was one of the first players to settle agree terms with the Board and was selected to tour Bangladesh in 2005.[2][3][4] He looked out of touch in the Test series but showed his quality in the ODI series, scoring three fifties and taking three wickets as Zimbabwe unluckily lost 2-3 after being two up. He was named as player of the series and went on to tour South Africa, his best score being 47 in the second ODI.

Another dispute over contracts led to Rogers having his contract cancelled by the ZCU in September 2005, Rogers being told that he had been "retired".[5][6][7] He did not play any further international cricket and after the 2004/05 domestic season played in only three List A matches for Mashonaland Eagles in 2009.[8][9]
