Gordon Vernon Middlewick (born 14 August 1932) is a former South African cricketer who played first-class cricket for North-Eastern Transvaal from 1953 to 1961.
A fast-medium bowler, Gordon Middlewick made his first-class debut against the touring New Zealanders in 1953-54, opening the bowling and taking 6 for 83 and 4 for 74. In the first innings he twice took wickets with consecutive balls; in the second, when the New Zealanders were chasing runs quickly, he took wickets that at one stage looked likely to give North-Eastern Transvaal victory, though in the end New Zealand won by three wickets with four minutes to spare.
Middlewick’s best figures were 6 for 22 when North-Eastern Transvaal dismissed Border for 58 in 1954-55. His most successful season was 1958-59, when he took 21 wickets at an average of 13.04 and formed a strong opening attack with Jackie Botten, who set a Currie Cup record with 55 wickets. However, such was North-Eastern Transvaal’s weakness in other areas that they lost five of their six matches and finished last in the “B” section of the Currie Cup.
