Which entity is this text about?

Sydney Francis Barnes (19 April 1873 - 26 December 1967) was an English professional cricketer who is generally regarded as one of the greatest ever bowlers. He was right-handed and bowled at a pace that varied from medium to fast-medium with the ability to make the ball both swing and break from off or leg. He is the quickest bowler to achieve 150 Test wickets in history. Barnes was unusual in that, despite a very long career as a top-class player, he spent little more than two seasons in first-class cricket, representing Warwickshire and Lancashire.

Barnes was 41 when the First World War broke out and so too old for military service. From 1915 to 1923, he played exclusively for Saltaire in the Bradford League, taking 904 wickets at an average of 5.26. He took a hundred wickets in a season five times, a rare feat in the Bradford League's history. From 1924 to 1930, he played for Castleton Moor and Rochdale in the Central Lancashire League. He was with Rawtenstall in the Lancashire League from 1931 to 1933. Then, aged 61, he returned to the Bradford League to play for Keighley in 1934, which was his final season in league cricket.  Barnes declined the opportunity to join the tour to Australia in 1920-21, when he was 47 years old. He had wanted to bring his family with him, but it became clear that he would have to pay their traveling expenses. He was not selected by England nor did he seek selection by the Players after the First World War. He did not play first-class cricket again until 1927 when he was 54 years old. From then until 1930, he made nine appearances for Wales.  Barnes took 49 wickets for Wales in 1928, including seven for 51 and five for 67 in an eight wicket win over the touring West Indians. He also made two first-class appearances for the Minor Counties in 1929 and took eight for 41 in a drawn game against the South Africans at Stoke-on-Trent. Barnes' final first-class appearance was for Wales against Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC) at Lord's in 1930.  Barnes made 177 appearances for Staffordshire in the Minor Counties Championship between 1904 and 1935. This was in two parts: 1904 to 1914; and 1924 to 1935. His career record for Staffordshire was 1,432 wickets at an average of 8.03. CANNOTANSWER

Vilket väsen handlar den här texten om? Sydney Francis Barnes (19 april 1873 - 26 december 1967) var en engelsk professionell kricketspelare som allmänt betraktas som en av de största någonsin bowlare. Han var högerhänt och bowlade i en takt som varierade från medelhög till snabbmedelhög med förmågan att få bollen att både svinga och bryta från av eller ben. Han är den snabbaste bowlare att uppnå 150 Test wickets i historien. Barnes var ovanlig i det att han, trots en mycket lång karriär som toppklassspelare, tillbringade lite mer än två säsonger i förstklassig cricket, representerande Warwickshire och Lancashire. Barnes var 41 år när första världskriget bröt ut och så för gammal för värnplikt. Från 1915 till 1923 spelade han uteslutande för Saltaire i Bradford League, och tog 904 wickets i genomsnitt 5,26 stycken. Han tog hundra wickets på en säsong fem gånger, en sällsynt bedrift i Bradford Leagues historia. Åren 1924–1930 spelade han för Castleton Moor och Rochdale i Central Lancashire League. Han var med Rawtenstall i Lancashireförbundet 1931–1933. Därefter, 61 år gammal, återvände han till Bradford League för att spela för Keighley 1934, vilket var hans sista säsong i liga cricket. Barnes avböjde möjligheten att följa med på turnén till Australien 1920-21, när han var 47 år gammal. Han hade velat ta med sig sin familj, men det stod klart att han skulle få betala deras resekostnader. Han blev inte utvald av England och sökte inte heller urval av spelarna efter första världskriget. Han spelade inte första klassens cricket igen förrän 1927 då han var 54 år gammal. Från dess fram till 1930 gjorde han nio framträdanden för Wales. Barnes tog 49 wickets för Wales 1928, varav sju för 51 och fem för 67 i en åtta wicketvinst över de turnerande västindianerna. Han gjorde även två förstklassiga framträdanden för De mindre grevarna 1929 och tog åtta för 41 i en oavgjord match mot sydafrikanerna på Stoke-on-Trent. Barnes sista förstaklassframträdande var för Wales mot Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC) vid Lord's 1930. Barnes gjorde 177 framträdanden för Staffordshire i Mindre grevemästerskapen mellan 1904 och 1935. Detta var i två delar: 1904 till 1914; och 1924 till 1935. Hans karriärrekord för Staffordshire var 1 432 wickets på i genomsnitt 8,03. CANNOTANSWER
