He played cricket for Winchester as a middle-order batsman and a bowler, though it is not known if he was rightor left-handed or what style of bowling he practised. At Cambridge and for the Master Control Console, he appears not to have bowled, though full scorecards are not available for most of his matches. He appeared in three matches for Cambridge, including the University Match of 1844 against Oxford University, in which he scored eight runs in his only innings, the second highest score for the Cambridge team
Although he played as a batsman, his highest innings in eight first-class games was only 14.
Raymond-Barker graduated from Cambridge University in 1844 with a Bachelor of Arts degree. He was admitted to the Inner Temple in the same year and was called to the bar in 1849.
