John Hill (New Zealand cricketer)
John Hill (22 September 1930 – 26 August 2002) was a New Zealand cricketer. He played eight first-class matches for Otago teams, two during the 1961–62 season and six in 1962–63.[1] Hill was born at Gore in Southland and was educated at Gore High School.[2] A left-arm medium-pace bowler, he played most of his senior cricket for Southland. In Southland's match against the touring West Indian team in 1955–56, he took 8 for 55 in the first innings.[3] A year later, against the touring Australians, he took four of the six wickets that fell in the Australians' only innings.[4] In his first-class career his best figures came in his last match, for an Otago Invitation XI against the touring MCC in March 1963, when he took four wickets.[5] Hill died at Invercargill in 2002 at the age of 71.[1] An obituary was published in the 2003 edition of the New Zealand Cricket Almanack.[2] His son, Robbie, also played for Otago and Southland.[6] References
