Edward Ernest Hemmings (known as Eddie) (born February 20, 1949, Leamington Spa, Warwickshire) is a former English cricketer who played in 16 Tests and 33 ODIs from 1982 to 1991. He made his England debut relatively late in his career, at the age of 33, having predominantly represented Nottinghamshire in the County Championship. His chance came when several England players announced their intention to go on a rebel cricket tour to South Africa.
He hit his highest Test score of 95 as a night watchman and made his second half century (51) against India during a last wicket stand with Devon Malcolm.
In County Cricket, requiring four runs off the last ball of the NatWest Trophy Final in 1989, Hemmings struck a boundary off John Lever of Essex to ensure victory for Nottinghamshire.
Soon after this win he was reinstated in the England side for the 5th Ashes Test match of the same year, thanks in part to the fact that several players had just announced their decision t0 go on a rebel tour to South Africa, including off-spinner John Emburey. Hemmings took no wickets but scored more than 30 in both innings.
Hemmings toured Australia in 1990/91, where he played his last Test.
Before retiring from first class cricket at the age of 46, he also played for Sussex. During an interview with Sky Sports during the third test match between England and South Africa on August 1st 2008, it was revealed he now runs a corner shop in Scunthorpe.
