Alex Gidman only established himself in the Gloucestershire team in 2003, but was chosen by Rod Marsh to captain the England A tour of Malaysia and India the following winter. However, a hand injury forced him to return home early. Primarily a middle-order right-handed batsman, he also bowls steady medium pace, as he showed with a spell of 2 for 12 in seven overs in the 2003 C&G Trophy final against Worcestershire at Lord's, in which he also hit the winning runs. He again showed a liking for the big occasion at the Twenty20 Cup finals day at Trent Bridge, making 61 to carry his side tantalisingly close to victory over Surrey in the semi-final. After more consistent peformnances in the the 2004 season he was included in England's preliminary squad for 2004 ICC Champions Trophy.
He passed a thousand runs in first class cricket for the first time in the 2005 season including a career best 142 against Surrey. A powerful striker of the ball, Alex was named as Gloucestershire's vice-captain for the 2006 season, and won the county's Player-of-the-Season award that year after scoring 1244 runs in the Championship.
