Boris Hoes

Boris Hoes, born on the frightfully festive date of 31st October 1991, from Nottingham, has carved out quite the niche for himself in the world of cricket since his modest beginnings. From a young age, Boris could be found wielding a cricket bat instead of indulging in the usual Halloween antics of Trick-or-Treaters, and it became increasingly clear he had a knack for the sport.

His cricketing journey began in the junior leagues of his local club, where his remarkable hand-eye coordination and natural talent for timing the ball quickly caught the attention of talent scouts. Boris made his way through the ranks, honing his craft and developing a style that was both technically adept and breathtakingly aggressive. By his late teens, he was already a prominent figure in county cricket.

Boris's professional debut was nothing short of spectacular, debuting at the age of 20 for Nottinghamshire in the County Championship. It wasn’t long before he left his mark with an unforgettable century against Surrey. His penchant for scoring quick runs and his enviable ability to read bowlers saw his stock rise meteorically.

In terms of achievements, Boris was instrumental in Nottinghamshire’s consecutive county championships in 2015 and 2016, where his scintillating batting displays were often the backbone of many a remarkable run chase. Boris also etched his name in history books by scoring the fastest double century in the County Championship, a feat that left spectators and fellow cricketers in awe.

While primarily a right-hand batsman, his capabilities with the ball are not to be underestimated. His right-arm fast deliveries often catch batsmen off guard with sheer speed and unexpected bounce, making him a versatile asset in the shorter formats of the game.

Boris's career is peppered with notable matches, but perhaps none more so than his fierce rivalry with the Sussex paceman, Arthur Finch. Their clashes on the field are the stuff of legend, filled with fiery exchanges and exhilarating cricket.

Beyond statistics and records, it is Boris’s sheer love for the game and the joy he brings to cricket lovers everywhere that define his legacy. With those cheeky little singles and towering sixes, Boris Hoes continues to be a true embodiment of cricket’s thrilling unpredictability.
