April 2026

always Never Normal

Another week. More runs. More Stories. More people refusing to do things the normal way. From the workshop floor to cricket grounds around the world, here's what the M&H Family has been up to over the last fortnight.

Craig Overton Brilliance

When Somerset needed something extraordinary, Craig Overton delivered one of the most remarkable innings of his career. Walking to the crease with the game slipping away, Overton blasted an unbeaten 79 from just 30 balls to drag Somerset from 82-8 to a dramatic two-wicket victory over Yorkshire and book their place at Finals Day. Fearless, powerful and relentless.

Mark Rowan Hull

Renowned artist Mark Rowan-Hull has partnered with Millichamp & Hall to create an exclusive bat label where art meets performance. Inspired by his distinctive creative style, the design transforms every bat into a canvas—bringing together handcrafted English willow, bold expression and a shared passion for doing things differently.

Jason Roy Hundred

Jason Roy rolled back the years with a breathtaking century, ending a three-year wait for a T20 hundred in spectacular style. Combining trademark power with effortless timing, Roy reminded everyone why he's one of the most destructive white-ball batters of his generation. It was a statement innings—one that marked a return to his very best and another memorable chapter in an outstanding career.

A true all-round masterclass from Paul Dover for England Over-50s. Leading the way with the ball, Paul claimed outstanding figures of 5-13 before backing it up with a crucial 39 with the bat.
Another century to celebrate for Holly N, who produced a magnificent unbeaten 105* for Edgworth U15s. The innings was packed with quality strokeplay and once again showcased why she's one of the brightest young talents around.
Tony G is loving life with his new bat—and for good reason. After plenty of near misses, he’s finally clearing the ropes with confidence. Great bat, even better timing, and hopefully plenty more sixes to come!
Elina P has scored 506 runs for Northamptonshire U13 Girls, becoming the first girl in Northants U13 history to score over 500 runs in a county season. That season helped her earn a place in The Blaze Academy at just 14 years old, making her the youngest player in the Academy!

Jacob Blades

Jacob Blades has reached another incredible milestone after being selected to represent England Under-19s in the Youth Test series against South Africa. What makes the achievement even more special for everyone at Millichamp & Hall is that Jacob bought his very first bat from us at just nine years old. Watching him progress from a young cricketer with big dreams to wearing the Three Lions is a reminder of what years of dedication, hard work and belief can achieve. We're incredibly proud to have been part of his journey from the very beginning and can't wait to see what comes next for one of England's brightest young talents.
