Dougie Goodwin will be forever paired with another of our Hall of Famers, Alec O’Riordan, as the duo who demolished the West Indies for 25 at Sion Mills in 1969. Goodwin bowled brilliantly in helpful conditions to return figures of 12.3-8-6-5, and took two more wickets for one run in the second innings.

It was no flash in the pan, Goodwin’s career spanning 43 matches from 1965-75, in which he took 115 wickets. He took 5-68 against Australia in 1968, and captained Ireland 19 times, with seven wins and just four defeats.
