Billy Godleman is one of the most popular and richest Cricketer who was born on February 11, 1989 in Camden Town, United Kingdom. Billy Ashley Godleman (born 11 February 1989) is an English first-class cricketer who is a player with Derbyshire and is team captain. The left-handed player is also a batsman, as well as the right arm leg spinner. He was a player for Middlesex in addition to Essex before moving to Derbyshire in 2013. Godleman was previously a member of the England under-19 squad.
His performance slowed down a bit after he made 40s and 30, but was unable to translate to 50s and higher scores. He was given the chance to recover this form during the time that Pakistan U19 made a tour of England during August 2007. Godleman began the game with Alex Wakely and the two played a slow but productive opening partnership that finished at 198 before Wakely was dismissed for 112. Godleman lost his wicket shortly thereafter at 71 but England was able to collect 532 out. Pakistan U19 were bowled out for 214 , and 266, which resulted with England taking the win with an innings of the score of 58 runs. The second test featured a excellent first-innings partnership, which was 95. Godleman was this time able to score an U19 Test Match century before being removed on 115. Godleman was dismissed in the second test however for ducks in the second test as Pakistan were able to win the second test by three wickets, and tie the series 1-1.
Having moved to Essex on loan after losing his place in the Middlesex side, Godleman signed a three-year deal with the county in August 2009. Playing in his debut innings in a County Championship match against Hampshire, Billy scored 92 off 146 before being bowled by Danny Briggs. After a disappointing start to the 2011 season when Billy averaged just 19, he was dropped from the LV County Championship team. On his recall, he made 39 and 130 at Grace Road vs Leicestershire County Cricket Club in July 2011.
At the end of August 2012 Billy was released by Essex, and joined newly promoted first division side Derbyshire, on a two-year contract. In April 2013, he scored what is believed to be the slowest half-century in the history of the County Championship.
He was a part of three Test matches for Under-19 against the Indian team during their tour of England in 2006. He also participated in five ODIs under 19 in Malaysia in the early part of 2007.
