Heres what CricBuzz says about him.
Barber had all the shots in the book, the cover-drives, pulls, glances off the pads, square-cuts and many more. However, he always seemed to play one shot too many and that would eventually bring about his downfall. He only played one Test for New Zealand, where he scored 5 and 12. In both the innings, Barber was out playing a rash shot. He was more famous for the catch he took to dismiss Gary Sobers, John Reid was the bowler and he said not a bad way to start your career.
Barber finished his first class in 1959-60 with a moderate average of 23.02. He believed that there is more to batsmanship than playing a long innings, he wanted to enjoy his stay in the middle than scoring big runs. After hanging his boots, Barber worked for Shell oil company, who sponsored many sporting events in New Zealand, like the Golf Open and the domestic cricket tournament was called Shell Trophy for many years.
He was the oldest living New Zealand Test cricketer before passing away on August 7, 2015. Now, his skipper in his one-off Test, John Reid is the oldest living New Zealand cricketer.

Heres what ESPNcricinfo says about him.
Trevor Barber's one Test appearance, against West Indies in 1955-56, saw him dismissed cheaply by Sonny Ramadhin in both innings, but hold a catch to dismiss the great Garry Sobers.
