David James Pipe (born 16 December 1977) is a former Englishfirst-class cricketer, who played as awicket-keeper.
Pipe was born atBradford and made hisfirst-class debut forWorcestershire againstOxford University in May1998, recording two catches and a stumping. However, the presence ofSteve Rhodes in the side meant that his first-team opportunities were limited apart from a small number of games in2000 and2001 when both played, Pipe appearing as a specialist batsman. He did, however, make eight dismissals in a single one-day innings againstHertfordshire in 2001; this set up a county record.[1]
Pipe had a longer run in the first XI when Rhodes was injured in the latter part of the2003 season, and againstHampshire in early September made his first century, scoring an unbeaten 104. When Rhodes retired from playing at the end of the following season, Pipe became Worcestershire's first choice, taking 42 catches, but lost his place toSteven Davies later in the summer.
He left forDerbyshire for the2006 season, and did a good job in his first season at Derbyshire, averaging over 30 with the bat and taking 39 catches and 6 stumpings; he also scored three half-centuries, before suffering a serious injury which ended his season.
He completed a degree inPhysiotherapy at theUniversity of Salford in 2008.[2] In 2009 it was announced that he would be retiring at the end of the season to become Derbyshire's new physiotherapist.[3]
