Who is Will Gidman?

William Robert Simon "Giddo" Gidman is a professional cricketer currently playing for Gloucestershire County Cricket Club. He is a left-handed batsman and bowls right-arm medium. He had previously played county cricket for Durham.

Will was previously on the books with Gloucestershire before signing for Durham in 2006. He made his first-class debut against Sri Lanka A in 2007, but did not play another first class match again until 2010, which prompted a move away from the north-east.

Gidman's career best figures in the long form of the game, came in the same match in September 2013. In the game against Leicestershire at Bristol, he took career best bowling figures of 6-15 on Day 1, and then scored 143 with the bat on Day 2. Gloucester went on to win the game be an innings and 138 runs.
