Educated at Bishop Vesey's Grammar School in Sutton Coldfield, Gardom toured the West Indies with the England Young Cricketers in August–September 1972.[1] He was awarded the Cricket Society prize for the most promising young cricketer of the year in 1972.[2]

He made his first-class debut for Warwickshire against Cambridge University in 1973. He made sixteen further first-class appearances for the county, the last of which came against Essex in the 1974 County Championship.[3] In his seventeen first-class matches, he scored a total of 427 runs at an average of 18.56, with a high score of 79 not out.[4] This score, which was one of two first-class fifties he made, came against Surrey in 1974.[5] With the ball, he took 17 wickets at a bowling average of 41.17, with best figures of 6/139.[6] These figures, which were his only five wicket haul, came against Essex in 1974.[7] His List A debut came in the 1973 John Player League against Somerset, with Gardom making four further List A appearances, though without success.[8]
