Five cricketers who were a “one-test wonder”

#3 Vic Stollmeyer

Vic Stollmeyer scored a brilliant 96

Vic Stollmeyer, unlike his brother, Jeff Stollmeyer never had a long test career. In fact, Vic Stollmeyer managed to play only test match for the West Indies in his entire playing career.

In 1939, West Indies toured England and in the third test match, Vic Stollmeyer was handed his test debut cap. His brother and West Indies skipper Jeff Stollmeyer had presented him with the cap.

He was slated to bat in at No. 4 and quite ironically when his brother was dismissed, he walked in to bat. Vic Stollmeyer batted brilliantly and was on the verge of making a fine hundred but fell four short, as he was stumped by Wood of the bowling of Goddard.

His brilliant 96 was studded with 11 hits to the fence. West Indies never got to bat in their second essay due to Len Hutton and Wally Hammond’s brilliant hundreds which ate up time.

Despite having a decent first outing as a West Indies player, Vic Stollmeyer never got another chance to represent his country.
