david houghton -lrb- cricketer -rrb-

david laud houghton -lrb- born 23 june 1957 -rrb- is the current batting coach of middlesex and is a former zimbabwean test cricketer .
he captained zimbabwe in their first four test matches , losing two and drawing two .
zimbabwe won one of the 17 one day internationals he was captain for .
david houghton also represented his country in hockey and was described by the pakistan hockey team captain as the best goal-keeper he had ever played against .
probably zimbabwe 's second-best batsman in their short cricketing history -lrb- after andy flower -rrb- , houghton holds the record for the highest test score by a zimbabwean , with his 266 against sri lanka in 1994/5 .
he still holds the test match record for the most runs in a career without a duck , with 1,464 .
his most memorable one day international innings was against new zealand in the 1987 reliance world cup , in which houghton scored 142 runs off 137 deliveries with 13 fours and 6 sixes .
this innings brought zimbabwe to the brink of a surprise victory , but new zealand won by only 3 runs , and is the highest score by an associate batsman against a test playing nation , taking place as it did before zimbabwe were granted test status .
since retiring as a player , houghton has gone on to become a coach and commentator .
before he was the coach of derbyshire county cricket club he was the coach at radlett cricket club in hertfordshire .
whilst in this role his best achievement was taking radlett to victory in the evening standard trophy which is london 's most prestigious cricket competition .
he coached derbyshire from 2004 until the middle of the 2007 season when he resigned .
he returned to derbyshire as first team batting coach 2011 -- 2013 .
he served somerset in a similar role in 2014 -lrb- prior to the arrival of director of cricket matthew maynard -rrb- before joining middlesex on 10th november 2014 .
