Gary Gilder

Gary Gilder was born on 6 July 1974 in Salisbury, Rhodesia (now Harare, Zimbabwe). He made his first-class cricket debut for Natal B in January 1995 against Western Transvaal, taking five wickets in the match.[1] The following season, he collected ten wickets in a match for the first time, taking five in each innings in a match against Free State B.[2] He was selected as part of the South Africa A team to tour England in 1996, and during that tour he had his best bowling performance in first-class cricket, when he took eight wickets in one innings against Worcestershire.[3] In the 1996–97 South African season, he made the step up to the Natal first-team, appearing in the SuperSport Series for the first time. He was a regular for Natal (KwaZulu Natal from 1998) until the 2001–02 season, when he appeared just once in the SuperSport Series. He ended his career in England, playing for Somerset County Cricket Club, though his appearances for the county were limited to six matches in July and August 2003.[4]
