Herbert Bascome (born 14 July 1964) is a former Bermudian cricketer. He is the current head coach of the Bermuda national cricket team.
Bascome made his debut for Bermuda in a List A match against Trinidad and Tobago in the 1997/98 Red Stripe Bowl, followed by three further List A appearances in that season's competition.[1] He next appeared for Bermuda on their tour to Canada in August 1999, where the team played a number of minor matches.[2] Later in 1999, he made three List A appearances for Bermuda in the 1999/00 Red Stripe Bowl.[1] He played for Bermuda in the 2000 Americas Cricket Cup, making four appearances against Argentina, the Cayman Islands, the United States and hosts Canada.[2] In October 2000, Bascome made four further List A appearances in the 2000/01 Red Stripe Bowl, the last of which came against Guyana.[1] These matches were his final appearances in List A cricket, with him having made a total of eleven appearances in that format,[1] taking 7 wickets at an average of 37.28, with best figures of 2/17.[3] With the bat he scored 18 runs with a high score of 17.[4] In July 2001, Bascome played in the 2001 ICC Trophy in Canada, making two six appearances.[5] He took ten wickets in the tournament, at an average of 16.70, with best figures of 4/23.[6] He ended the tournament as Bermuda's joint leading wicket-taker alongside Dwayne Leverock. The following year he made four appearances in the 2002 ICC Americas Championship against the Cayman Islands, the Bahamas, Canada and the United States.[2]
In February 2019, Bascome was appointed head coach of Bermuda in place of Clay Smith. He had previously been an assistant coach to Gus Logie several years earlier.[7] His contract was renewed in April 2021.[8]
Three of Bascome's sons – Onias, Okera and Oronde Bascome – have also played cricket for Bermuda, sometimes in the same team.[9] Another son, Osagi, played for the Bermuda national football team.[10]
