David Hemp (born November 8, 1970 in Hamilton) is a Bermudian cricketer. He is a left-handed batsman and a right-arm medium-pace bowler, currently captain of Glamorgan. David has a younger brother, Tim, who has previously played for Glamorgan's second eleven. He has also played List A and Twenty20 cricket.

[edit] County cricket

Hemp first appeared for Glamorgan in 1991 and was part of the Glamorgan side which won the 1993 Sunday League championship. He followed this up in 1994/95 when he went on a tour with the England A team to India and Bangladesh. The following season he made a career high 157, before joining Warwickshire in 1997. He quickly made it into the top order, and played there consistently until he made a return to Glamorgan in 2002.

Having set a record for Glamorgan with a 252 second wicket partnership, he also played in the innings against Canterbury which won Glamorgan the Norwich Union League.

On 12 September 2006, he assumed the captaincy of Glamorgan with immediate effect after the resignation of Robert Croft.

[edit] International cricket

In November 2006, Hemp made his debut for Bermuda, the country of his birth, in an ICC Intercontinental Cup game against Kenya. He went onto represent them in all games on their African tour, including seven one-day internationals against Kenya, Canada and the Netherlands. The undoubted highlight of this tour was the Intercontinental Cup match against the Netherlands, in which Hemp scored an unbeaten 247, his highest first-class innings. At the time this was the highest score in the history of the competition, but the record stood only until the Netherlands' next match when Ryan ten Doeschate scored 259 not out.

His current top ODI score came during the World Cup as he hit 76 not out during Bermuda's loss to India.
