George Hill is expecting another tug of war day of Rothesay County Championship cricket between Yorkshire and Nottinghamshire tomorrow, the all-rounder saying the visitors need to be \u201crelentless\u201d with the ball.<\/p>\n
Notts\u2019 closed day two on 55-3, a lead of 127 in their second innings.<\/p>\n
They have the advantage, though not by a huge amount at this stage in bowler-friendly conditions.<\/p>\n
Hill was the standout performer in a Yorkshire shirt today, helping recover their first innings from 124-8 to 179 all out with an attacking 58 before striking once with the ball after tea.<\/p>\n
\u201cObviously the wicket\u2019s playing a few more tricks today. But, yeah, I think the fightback we showed with the ball this evening, obviously getting them three down, Coady and Whitey set the tone brilliantly.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s just about slamming the wicket as well as we can and try and hit the dents. If we do, there\u2019ll certainly be some movement.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s about being sort of relentless tomorrow.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019ll be proper tough cricket tomorrow.\u201d<\/p>\n
On his own innings, which saw him marshal the tail, he said: \u201cIt was good fun.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s definitely a role that I\u2019ll be working on this winter because I\u2019ve not done it a huge amount coming into this year.<\/p>\n
\u201cI thought Cliffy was brilliant. He hung around with me for a substantial amount of balls..\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cMy thought was, \u2018There\u2019s no point hanging around with a ball with potentially your name on it\u2019.<\/p>\n
\u201cI thought I\u2019d try and be positive \u2013 not particularly reckless but positive. I played to my strengths, and luckily it sort of paid off.\u201d<\/p>\n
And on the prospect of a chase for victory at some point tomorrow and into day four, Hill added: \u201cObviously, we don\u2019t know what the wicket\u2019s going to do. It might flatten out with a heavy roller, it might get worse.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe can\u2019t control what the wicket\u2019s going to do, but we can control our attitude coming into the chase.<\/p>\n
\u201cJonny has spoken to us about what a great chasing ground this.<\/p>\n
\u201cAround 220 would be brilliant, but anything we\u2019ll believe we can chase.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Picture by John Heald.
