Middle-order batter David Bedingham’s pressure-free approach has helped him to go from a talented youngster to the top of the game.
David Bedingham of South Africa plays the ball for four runs on day three of the second test against New Zealand at Seddon Park in Hamilton on 15 February 2024.
“I’m very proud but in saying that, it was a long process and I have a lot of people to thank,” Bedingham toldAfter a solid but stuttering three years of first-class cricket for Western Province, 22-year-old Bedingham was in a car accident at the end of 2016 that left him sidelined from cricket for the whole of 2017.
The accident totalled Bedingham’s car but didn’t crush his dreams of playing cricket at the highest level. Instead, it gave him a new outlook on life. In the 2018/19 four-day domestic season, Bedingham was the then Cobras, now Western Province’s, second-highest run scorer, with 609 at an average of 46.84.
Will Young of the New Zealand Black Caps makes a catch to dismiss David Bedingham of South Africa on day one of the second test at Seddon Park in Hamilton on 13 February 2024.
