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. He took a hat-trick against Pakistan on his test debut -
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). In this role, he was responsible for all
aspects of academy coaching, working closely with the academy's
overseas program and the Pace Australia program.
During his career Damien also was actively involved on the Executive
Board of the Australian Cricketer's Association for four years.
In early 2006, Fleming moved to Melbourne where his 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 overcome injuries to be the best
player he could, performing under the pressure's of international
cricket.
Damien currently commentates on ABC
Grandstand radio.
