Heres what CricBuzz says about him.
Goodwin made his Test debut against Sri Lanka in Kandy in early 1998 and created an impact scoring 70 in the second innings. A fine stroke maker, Goodwin scored 3 centuries in a brief 19 match career. His best was a fine unbeaten 166 against Pakistan at Bulawayo.
A natural striker of the cricket ball, Goodwin also enjoyed a decent amount of success in the ODI format as well. He played 71 ODIs scoring 1818 runs at just over 27. Goodwin quit a flourishing Test career after the tour of England in 2000 as his wife could not adjust to Zimbabwe. Goodwin scored 1414 runs at an average of 42.84.
Goodwin returned to Australia and represented Western Australia in the domestic circuit and is a regular for English county, Sussex. He became a sort of legend with Sussex in 2003 with a club high score of 335* against Leicestershire helping seal a first ever domestic title for Sussex in 164 years. In 2009, Goodwin beat his own record when he plundered 344* against Somerset. He has also enjoyed strong showings for Western Australia.
Goodwin was a part of the unofficial ICL in its 2nd edition. He represented the Ahmedabad Rockets before quitting it to commit to Sussex.
After being released by Sussex in August 2012, Welsh county, Glamorgan hired his services. The old warhorse lends more heft to the Glamorgan batting unit, whilst simultaneously inspiring the younger boys in the team. Notably, he tallied more than 24,000 runs across multiple competitions for Sussex. Meanwhile, his son, Jayden, a leggie by trade, captains the Wales Under-11s.

Heres what ESPNcricinfo says about him.
Murray Goodwin is a diminutive and sometimes destructive player who can bat anywhere in the top four. His formative years were spent on the bouncy WACA wickets in Perth, and left him a predominantly back-foot player who cuts and pulls the pacemen with impunity. His light feet and willingness to use them make him equally adept against spin, and he is quick and alert in the field. Goodwin was born in Rhodesia, where he returned after his family had emigrated to Australia while he was still a youngster. But his wife could not settle in Zimbabwe, and Goodwin went back to Australia after the England tour of 2000, thus ending a Test career that, despite just 19 games, placed him in the upper echelons of Zimbabwe cricket history.
He then went on to make his name with Sussex. After a prolific season in 2001, he became an instant legend two years later, when he scored a club-record 335 not out against Leicestershire to seal Sussex's first Championship title in their 164-year history. He was then involved in the success in the C&G Trophy final of 2006. At Western Australia enjoyed some big-scoring years, including 1,183 in 2003-04 and 840 the following summer, and moved into the top 15 on the state's domestic first-class run list. He joined the ICL in its second season, played eight games for Ahmedabad Rockets, before quitting the league to commit to Sussex before moving to Glamorgan for 2013 where he ended his career with retirement after the 2014 summer.
