Stanley Hill (22 August 1885 – 10 May 1970) was an Australian cricketer who played for South Australia and New South Wales. A right-handed batsman, he made his first-class debut for South Australia in 1909 against Victoria, playing 11 matches before making his final first-class appearance, for New South Wales, in 1912.
Hill scored two half-centuries in 22 first-class innings; his highest score of 62 was for South Australia against New South Wales in 1910.[1]
Hill was born in 1885 in Adelaide, South Australia, to Henry John Hill (known as John) and his wife Rebecca, née Saunders.[2] Hill was one of eight sons and eight daughters in a family that was heavily involved in cricket. His father scored a century (102 not out) for North Adelaide against the touring Kent County Cricket Club, reportedly the first century scored at the Adelaide Oval.[3] The third son, Clem, played 49 Tests for Australia. Five other brothers played for South Australia and in 1912 - 1913 there were several instances of three Hill brothers in the same representative team.[3]
