Damien Fleming

Damien Fleming played 20 Test Matches for Australia after making his debut against Pakistan in 1994-95, claiming 75 wickets at an average of 25.89. In this test debut, Damien took a hat-trick – the only Australian to achieve this feat.

A right armer renowned for his steadiness and reliability at the bowling crease Damien was also a key member of Australia's one-day international team, playing 88 matches (including the 1999 World Cup victory) with 134 wickets at an average of 25.38. He will also be remembered for his composed bowling in the final overs of World Cup semi finals in 1996 and 1999 against the West Indies and Pakistan respectively.

In 2003, injuries finally took their toll and he retired to take up a coaching role at the Adelaide cricket academy (now the Centre of Excellence in Brisbane).

Now based in Melbourne, Fleming’s growing media commitments include hosting cricket programs on Fox Sports, SEN and commentary stints on ABC radio’s Cricket and Football Programs. He also writes a regular column for the Inside Edge magazine.

An entertaining and forthright speaker, Damien’s presentations draw on his cricket career experiences from the great highs of playing in a hugely successful team who rose to be the dominant team in the world with great preparation, planning and teamwork, to his own self-coaching from battling to overcomes injuries to be the best player he could, performing under the pressure’s of international cricket.
