David Hemp’s record innings and coaching journey
On 12 September 2006, David Hemp lifted the Glamorgan captaincy, a fact noted by Wikipedia. He had first broken into Glamorgan’s first‑team in 1991 and helped the side clinch the 1993 Sunday League title, according to the same source. After a stint with Warwickshire beginning in 1997, he returned to Glamorgan in 2002, as Wikipedia details.
In November 2006, Hemp debuted for Bermuda in an ICC Intercontinental Cup match versus Kenya, a milestone recorded by Wikipedia. Later that year he smashed 247 runs without dismissal against the Netherlands, setting the Intercontinental Cup’s highest individual score, as reported on the Bermuda national cricket team page. He later posted Bermuda’s inaugural World Cup half‑century, 76* against India at the Queen’s Park Oval in 2007, and top‑scored with 23 runs in a rain‑shortened World Cup game versus Bangladesh, both cited by Wikipedia.
His domestic scores continued with 102* against Kenya and 81 against the Netherlands at Potchefstroom in 2009, per Wikipedia. Beyond playing, he became assistant coach of Australia’s Prahran Cricket Club in 2014, head coach of Pakistan’s women’s national side in October 2020, and batting coach of Bangladesh’s men’s team in February 2024, all documented by Wikipedia.
