The most notable performance of his cricket career came in a two-day non-first-class match in January 1899 for a Border XV against Lord Hawke's XI. It was the seventh match of Lord Hawke's XI's tour, and none of the local batsmen in the first six matches had reached 50 in an innings. After Border had made 84 in their first innings and conceded a first-innings lead of 210, Giddy went to the wicket at number nine in the second innings and in three quarters of an hour he made 66, hitting several balls out of the ground, out of a team total of 147.[1][2]
