About Lewis Hill (cricketer, born 1990)

  • Lewis John Hill (born 5 October 1990) is an English cricketer.
  • Hill is a right-handed batsman who regularly fulfills the role of wicketkeeper.
  • He was born at Leicester, Leicestershire. Educated at Hastings High School and John Cleveland College in Hinckley, Hill has played Second XI cricket for Leicestershire since 2009.
  • During the 2012 season, Hill was selected as part of the Unicorns squad for the 2012 Clydesdale Bank 40.
  • He made his List A debut during the competition against Northamptonshire at Sir Paul Getty's Ground, Wormsley.
  • He was dismissed for a golden duck in the match by Lee Daggett, with Northamptonshire winning by 8 wickets.
  • However in his next outing for the Unicorns against Warwickshire he made an impressive 35 before being dismissed by Chris Wright.
  • In the 2013 cricket season he was part of the Unicorns squad, and he experienced one of the most memorable games of his career against Middlesex at Lord's.
  • After the Unicorns were put into bat Hill came in at number 5 and swept the pants of Ollie Raynor to make a comfortable 31.
  • But then what he did with the gloves was extraordinary, taking a good catch and then an unbelievable catch that was one handed down to his right hand side much to the delight of Parsons at 1st slip.
  • Unfortunately the Unicorns lost the game right at the death when the umpire had no bottle to give a clear run-out.
  • During the winter of 2013 he went to Australia and in just his 3rd game made a delightful 228n.o for Brighton Cricket club vs.
  • Unley.
  • Brighton declared on 308 for no loss, smashing all sorts of records. In May 2015, Hill made his first-class début at Canterbury for Leicestershire vs Kent.
  • He made 57 and 3 respectively.
  • Although not being in the squad for Leicestershire's trip to Surrey, Boyce failed a late fitness test, meaning Lewis Hill was once again selected.
  • He was chosen to open the batting.
  • He made 126 off just 147 balls, hitting 18 fours and 2 sixes in the process. In June 2015, Lewis Hill hit the winning runs to secure Leicestershire's first county championship victory in nearly three years.
