“David simply has class and makes batting look stupidly easy and that for a bowler spells danger.”
Allan Donald
“In full flow he is a joy to watch, his cover and square drives to the boundary almost Goweresque in their execution.”
Edward Bevan
In 15 years as a professional cricketer David has been just that - a model pro.”
Sir Ian Botham
“I first got to know ‘Hempy’ on the England ‘A’ tour of India and Bangladesh in 1995 which was a very enjoyable tour on and off-the-field. After the tour, the Daily Telegraph printed an article rating how each player had done – I was lambasted for not being able to play spin while Hempy was described as someone with ‘a benign appearance, fierce desire and an unintelligible Welsh accent.'"
Michael Vaughan
“I can see why David Hemp has always been a tough competitor. He is extremely passionate and expects high standards for his own performance which are both key success factors in anything. I have really enjoyed playing cricket with him and discovering that above all this, he is also a bloody good bloke!”
Michael Kasprowicz
“No matter how old you get or how experienced a player you are, you never stop learning. In 2005 David belted a breath taking 90 at the Oval in partnership with Michael Powell giving Surrey a real scare. I thought I was going to be the only captain to lose a game as the opposition chased 500 to win in the last innings of the game! The following year David played a terrific lone hand making 155.”
Mark Ramprakash
“He’s a popular man, Hempy, and I really hope that popularity translates itself into a bumper benefit year.”
Mike Fatkin
“On behalf of not only myself but also all those connected with Glamorgan cricket that have derived so much pleasure from meeting you and watching you in action over many years David, I hope your benefit season is a successful one both personally and from a team point of view – you deserve nothing less.”
David Morgan ICC President-Elect
