I think Barrington would be more consistent and finish up with a higher average but Barry had the capability to take good fast bowling and tear it apart, he approached fast bowling like Stanley McCabe or Ted Dexter but was much more consistently successful, so overall I think Barrington would've the better averages and pile on more runs while Barry would have a superior repertoire of memorable performances.

their careers wouldn't have different durations.
