Andrew Richard Caddick (born 21 November 1968) is a former cricketer who played for England as a fast bowler in Tests and ODIs.

[6] His performances were unremarkable, the highlight being an unbeaten 20 with the bat and bowling figures of 1/16 off three overs in the first One Day International (ODI) against the touring India Under 19 team.

In spite of this, he made his first-class debut for Somerset against the West Indians in May 1991,[12] but his only further match of the season was against the touring Sri Lankans in the August.

[17] A strong start to the following season, including a career best 9/32 in the second innings of a match against Lancashire,[18] saw him called up to the Test and one-day squads for the 1993 Ashes series.

He was initially hampered with a shoulder injury, and then with recurring shin issues that for a time threatened to finish his career completely.

In 2007 Caddick, at the age of thirty-eight, finished the season as the leading English wicket-taker with 75 wickets at 23.10[19] as Somerset gained promotion from Division Two of the County Championship.

That Christmas, Caddick underwent surgery on his back to correct pain he had felt during the final games of the season, and he rejoined training with Somerset in February 2008.

[21] Making his debut in the first ODI of the 1993 Texaco Trophy series at Old Trafford, after an average display with the ball in which he took 1/50, Caddick arrived at the crease with 11 runs required to win.

[24] With the series already lost, Caddick found more joy in the third ODI, taking three wickets and helping to restrict the Australians to 230; a total England must have felt they could chase down.

Caddick's involvement in Zimbabwe was limited to two warm up matches, with his performances described by one newspaper as akin to "a camel loping into one of the hot dry harmattans that blow off the Kalahari".

His chance to prove his critics wrong came in the second Test, and he seemed to take it with a menacing streak to his game,[28] snatching four wickets in the first innings and a further two in the second.

He retained his place for the third Test and the majority of the One Day International series, and along with Darren Gough was one of the stand out bowlers of the tour.
