'''Murray William Goodwin''' (born 11 December 1972) is a former [[Zimbabwe cricket team|Zimbabwean]] [[cricket]]er who played 19 [[Test cricket|Tests]] and 71 [[One Day International]]s. He was a right-handed top-order batsman, strong on the back foot, and a good cutter and puller of the ball.<br />
<br />
==International career==<br />
Born in [[Rhodesia]], Goodwin attended [[St. John's College (Harare)]] before his family moved to [[Perth]] when he was a 13-year old.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Leap of faith: Goodwin turns focus to a new mission|url=https://www.cricket.com.au/news/feature/jayden-goodwin-western-australia-rookie-contract-leap-of-faith-mormon-mission-religion-father-murray/2021-06-21|access-date=2021-11-10|website=cricket.com.au|language=en}}</ref> He moved back to Zimbabwe in the 1990s, and represented the country between 1998 and 2000. His wife had trouble settling in Zimbabwe, and so, after the [[Zimbabwean cricket team in England in 2000|Zimbabwe tour of England in 2000]], they moved back to Australia. Murray Goodwin now resides in southwest Western Australia with his family.<br />
<br />
Goodwin and [[Grant Flower]] set the record for the highest 5th wicket partnership for [[Zimbabwe national cricket team|Zimbabwe]] in ODI cricket (186*).<ref>{{Cite news|url=http://stats.espncricinfo.com/ci/engine/records/fow/highest_partnerships_by_wicket.html?class=2;id=9;type=team|title=Cricket Records {{!}} Records {{!}} / {{!}} Zimbabwe {{!}} One-Day Internationals {{!}} Highest partnerships by wicket {{!}} ESPN Cricinfo|work=Cricinfo|access-date=2017-08-12}}</ref><br />
<br />
==Domestic career==<br />
After his retirement from international cricket, Goodwin became a regular player for [[Western Australia cricket team|Western Australia]] and for [[Sussex County Cricket Club|Sussex]] in England. He made 1,183 runs for Western Australia in 2003–04, which was then the highest by a Western Australia player in a Sheffield Shield season.<ref>{{Cite web|last=Middleton|first=Dave|title=Leap of faith: Goodwin turns focus to a new mission|url=https://www.cricket.com.au/news/feature/jayden-goodwin-western-australia-rookie-contract-leap-of-faith-mormon-mission-religion-father-murray/2021-06-21|url-status=live|access-date=2021-11-10|website=cricket.com.au|language=en}}</ref> He highlighted his consistency with 840 runs the following season. He also played for the [[Dutch cricket team|Netherlands]] as an overseas player.<br />
<br />
Goodwin holds the Sussex record for the highest individual innings, with 344[[not out|*]] against [[Somerset County Cricket Club|Somerset]] in 2009, beating his own record of 335* set in 2003.<ref>{{cite news |url=https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2009/aug/20/sussex-somerset-county-championship-murray-goodwin |title=Murray Goodwin's 344 not out tops record-toppling day at Taunton |publisher=[[The Guardian]] |first=Paul |last=Weaver |date=20 August 2009 |access-date=2009-08-21}}</ref> Goodwin's 2003 innings helped Sussex to win their first Championship title, after 164 years. He is also the only Sussex batsman to have twice made a double century and a century in the same match.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://cricketarchive.com/Archive/Records/England/Firstclass/Sussex/Batting_Records/Hundred_In_Each_Innings_For.html |title=Hundred in Each Innings of a Match for Sussex |publisher=Cricinfo |access-date=2009-08-20}}</ref><br />
<br />
Goodwin led Sussex to the league title in the final match of the 2008 [[NatWest]] [[Pro40]] competition. After the collapse of Sussex's top and middle order against [[Nottinghamshire CCC]], his 87 not out from 64 balls steered Sussex to victory. Needing three runs from [[Charlie Shreck]]'s final delivery to tie the match and ensure victory for Sussex in the league table, Goodwin hit a six over long-on to clinch the game.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://www.skysports.com/cricket/match_report/0,19822,11066_14819,00.html |title=Super Sharks stun Notts: Glorious Goodwin steers visitors to title in sensational finish |date=14 September 2008 |publisher=[[Sky Sports]] |access-date=2009-08-21}}</ref><br />
<br />
Goodwin was released by Sussex County Cricket Club in August 2012, but was soon snapped up by [[Glamorgan County Cricket Club|Glamorgan]], with whom he signed an initial 1-year contract on 17 October 2012.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.espncricinfo.com/ci/content/story/587204.html |title=Goodwin plays on at Glamorgan |publisher=[[ESPN Cricinfo]] |date=18 October 2012 |access-date=9 November 2012 |author=Dobell, George}}</ref> In his first season with Glamorgan, Goodwin averaged over 56 with the bat in the [[County Championship]], leading to a one-year extension to his contract.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/cricket/23818882 |title=Murray Goodwin pleads for longer Glamorgan contract |publisher=[[BBC Sport]] |date=24 August 2013 |access-date=22 October 2013}}</ref><br />
