William Robert Simon Gidman (born 14 February 1985) is a professional cricketer currently playing for Nottinghamshire County Cricket Club. He is a left-handed batsman and bowls right-arm medium. He had previously played county cricket for Durham and Gloucestershire.
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.
After the 2010 season he signed for Gloucestershire, who was captained by his elder brother Alex. In his first season with the county he achieved a County Championship double of 50 wickets and 1000 runs, all in his debut season.[1]
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,[2] and then scored 143 with the bat on Day 2.[3] Gloucestershire went on to win the game be an innings and 138 runs.[4]
