1969: West Indies against Ireland looked to be a mismatch to equal Claudia Schiffer falling for David Copperfield. But thanks to the luck of the Irish, or whatever, the crowd at Londonderry witnessed an astonishing day's play.

West Indies, who had five of the players who had just drawn the Lord's Test, set out for a jolly thrash but were demolished for 25.

Goodwin's match figures were an astonishing 14.5-9-7-7.
