Lou Vincent successfully defends both of his stumps

In 2005, plagued by an inability to know where his off stumps was, Lou Vincent did the logical thing and made a series of appearances in the World Two Stump Cricket League in which the off stump does not feature.

Vincent was a roaring success and buoyed by his newfound form, returned to three stump cricket a much-improved batsman.

Graham Gooch however, confronted his weakness head-on, taking up French Cricket after being on the receiving end of one too many Terry Alderman lbws.
