Lawrence BoothPANELIST
What about the other Overton? Can we have two Overtons in the England team? He has just had the summer of his life with Somerset and gone under the radar a bit.
Lawrence BoothPANELIST
But I think the other name I'd throw into the hat is George Hill.
Lawrence BoothPANELIST
We've discussed him before on the pod for Yorkshire, who's a very promising all-rounder for county cricket.
Lawrence BoothPANELIST
But no, look, they've invested a lot in Curran, and with only a year to go to the World Cup, it'd be a surprise if they changed tack.
Azeem RafiqHOST
39 ECB contracts.
Azeem RafiqHOST
I mean, there's a few people that I'm looking at and going, hold on a minute, George Hill.
Azeem RafiqHOST
You know, again, we can look at...
Azeem RafiqHOST
George Hill is not on that list of 39.
Azeem RafiqHOST
But also, how have we got to a point where...
Azeem RafiqHOST
Nine players used to have central contract.
Cameron PonsonbyHOST
Um, obviously very easy for us to just talk about who's got them and what to expect from them and why aren't they fantastic.
Cameron PonsonbyHOST
Um, people who haven't got them, um, Lawrence, George Hill missed out.
Cameron PonsonbyHOST
Um, arguably one of the best seam bowling all-rounders in the country, also wasn't named in the white-ball Lions squads.
Cameron PonsonbyHOST
Um, Jonny Bairstow took to social media.
Cameron PonsonbyHOST
[laughs]
Lawrence BoothPANELIST
But, um, I...
Lawrence BoothPANELIST
George, um, Richard Gibson, my colleague at the Daily Mail who sees more Yorkshire than I do, has, has been raving about George Hill all summer.
Lawrence BoothPANELIST
Um-
Andy RyanHOST
Four needed, one wicket left.
Andy RyanHOST
George Hill, Yorkshire's George Hill, then bowls a genuinely astonishing maiden to Blake.
Andy RyanHOST
He's well established at this point.
Andy RyanHOST
I mean, he's had a long, long vigil at the crease.
Marcus NorthGUEST
the county system is, is being well reflected in terms of selection at, at certain squads, and certainly our development and central contracts certainly reflect and, and r- performance at county level.
Scott TaylorCORRESPONDENT
What would your message be to, to someone like a, a George Hill at Yorkshire who's, who's 25, who's not included in this list? 'Cause 39 players is a lot of players on contract, so how...
Scott TaylorCORRESPONDENT
what do you say to people like that to stay motivated for that chance to potentially come down the line?
Marcus NorthGUEST
Yeah, look, that's a really good question, and I... you know, someone like George Hill has been super impressive this year.
Marcus NorthGUEST
Um, and like I said, there'll be... we could probably reel off about 10 or 12 players in the same boat.
Marcus NorthGUEST
So, um, and that is, again, it's a reflection of some of the depth that we've got in, in, in county cricket.
Marcus NorthGUEST
It's reflected in the contracts that we've awarded, but it's also potentially reflects some of the players that have... that, that haven't been rewarded and the quality that we have there.
Marcus NorthGUEST
So, you know, the likes of, of George Hill is the, the motivation is to continue to, to perform at a really high level, that consistency and, and keep banging that door down, you know? And we've seen players that have done that, um, recently, been either reselected after having exposure in England or players getting opportunities like your Henry Crokes that have had a really good year.
Huw TurbervillGUEST
I'm not, I don't- I'm loathe to use the word unfashionable, but I mean, you know, England don't seem to want them.
James CoyneHOST
It's interesting 'cause, you know, i- i- I think if you ask most people, I mean, a- again, we, again, we don't wanna give too much away, but George Hill is in Vic's side.
James CoyneHOST
George Hill, you know, very skillful Yorkshire seamer, not that tall, nips the ball both ways.
James CoyneHOST
Good bat.
James CoyneHOST
You know, he's on the...
James CoyneHOST
So had been a, had a massive, um, a massive, uh, part in his development.
James CoyneHOST
And another player that sort of Martin s- also works with is, um, is Matt Revis, who is in the, the development contracts.
James CoyneHOST
Now, if you ask most people who had the better season out of George Hill and Matt Re- Matt Revis, I think most people would probably say George Hill.
Ian ShepherdHOST
No
Anthony GibsonPANELIST
... after that with the, um, uh, Overton and Pretorius partnership, and w- it was really the failure to break the, the Dom Bess/George Hill partnership that cost us that match, plus that dismal collapse- On-
Ian ShepherdHOST
Yeah
Anthony GibsonPANELIST
... on last morning.
Steve HarmisonHOST
Anderson and Broad prolonged their career the longer white-ball cricket was becoming more relevant.
Steve HarmisonHOST
If you look at, you look at the bowlers that are, you know, in and around the top, you've got Bamber, Abbott, Craig Overton to a lesser extent, and Ollie Stone, Hill, Sam, Luke Gregory.
Steve HarmisonHOST
Even in the first division, uh, second division, Potts, Higgins, Errington, Sam Sanderson, and it's even Jimmy.
Steve HarmisonHOST
The Ro- uh, Ba- Ben Renn, Toby Roland-Jones.
Steve HarmisonHOST
Craig was more, and we, we seen sample size of it this year in the Blast and in the Hundred.
Steve HarmisonHOST
You know, Craig Overton is another one.
Steve HarmisonHOST
I mean, I mean, he probably came second in my player of the year with George Hill.
Nick FriendHOST
Yeah, Ben.
Liam Before WicketsGUEST
He's gonna be my all-rounder.
Liam Before WicketsGUEST
I'm gonna slot him in at number eight, and that is gonna be Yorkshire's George Hill, um, who has been exceptional this year.
Liam Before WicketsGUEST
He was my tip before the season in a little preview video that I did that he'd be the one to watch this year, and I think he's delivered.
Liam Before WicketsGUEST
Um, great with bat and ball.
Liam Before WicketsGUEST
And I, I'm like it.
Liam Before WicketsGUEST
I think that's the...
Liam Before WicketsGUEST
My middle order now is basically Tom Abell, Dan Lawrence, Ben Foakes, and George Hill.
Liam Before WicketsGUEST
That feels pretty, that feels pretty strong, right?
speaker_0HOST
So, yeah, unbelievable season, I thought, from Dan Lawrence.
speaker_0HOST
I pretty sure he's been on the list more than once but then i i would have checked so maybe he didn't maybe maybe because he was in and out the england team maybe he never actually got on um but again ended fourth in the runs by only playing 10 matches having 16 innings so average 65 600s and no 50s which is just a fun sort of statistical anomaly if you will um and on to sort of what was he six yes so on to seven george hill a remarkable season from George Hill.
speaker_0HOST
Again, his, his batting kind of picked up near the end of the season.
speaker_0HOST
I think he ended like 18th.
speaker_0HOST
Like someone who him shouldn't get a look in.
speaker_0HOST
And I totally agree.
speaker_0HOST
George Hill has been my call for a very long time.
speaker_0HOST
as England's next great O rounder.
