William Gadsden
William Bell Gadsden (29 June 1910 – 18 March 1995) was a South African cricketer who played first-class cricket for Natal from 1928 to 1931. Gadsden, a medium-pace bowler, took 8 for 64 for Natal against Transvaal on his first-class debut as an 18-year-old in 1928–29,[1] twice taking two wickets with consecutive deliveries.[2] He took 10 wickets in the match, for figures of 62.4–18–110–10.[3] In his next match, which followed immediately, he had match figures of 44–23–47–7 against Border.[4] He was selected for the tour of England in 1929 but did not go, apparently because his father said he was too young.[1] Gadsden was the leading wicket-taker for Natal in 1929–30, when they came second in the Currie Cup, with 14 wickets at an average of 23.50.[5] But after one more match in 1930–31 he disappeared from first-class cricket at the age of 20.
