Mollie has also already ticked representing Sussex off the family checklist.
“When Georgia used to play club cricket at Horsham, I remember saying I want to do that,” says Mollie. “I was too young to watch my dad play so it’s all come from Georgia and now it’s about me going out there and replicating it myself.
“After seeing the Hundred I really want to play in that in the next few years or so and my ultimate goal is to play for England, but first I need to get into the Vipers.”
It was only in 2020 the England and Wales Cricket Board allocated regional domestic contracts to allow women to be year-round professional cricketers.
But being the daughter of a professional cricketer comes with its privileges which Georgia is very much aware of.
“It meant I could go to Brighton College which when I was growing up was leading the way,” Georgia says. “It produced Holly Colvin, Laura Marsh, Sarah Taylor, and Clare Connor was my house mistress for a term so that was very much my driver and a lot of that was down to dad’s links, contacts and being able to send me there.
“When I filtered out of the England Academy it was his coaching that was useful for me. I could phone up dad and talk to him as someone who has been through it all and it’s a bit easier when you know you can talk to someone who has felt the same things you felt.”
Although Chris argues the informality of Georgia’s cricket upbringing has enabled her development.
“Georgia’s inspiration has been Hove and growing up from a young age watching cricket and interacting with a lot of the children that were there and doing her own thing, active play and self-discovery shouldn’t be lost on her development,” he said.
“But if you’ve got the benefit of a private coach like Mollie has with me now, you are doubled up. Mollie’s inspiration has definitely been Georgia, she looks at me sometimes thinking ‘did you actually play the game?'”
Mollie currently attends Seaford College where Chris has been head of cricket for the past five years.
“The girls’ pathway was non-existent to now it’s not perfect and we’ve got work to do but I hope I can push the game as far as I can,” he said.
“Women’s cricket isn’t going to stop and in five years’ time it should be much closer in parity to the men’s game.
“With Mollie playing boys cricket, we have had to deal with a few comments, but I think that also toughens them up and there’s lots of hurdles and challenges and If you can move through that you’ll be stronger for it.
“But I think at that age, the boys only have their parents’ beliefs or what their uneducated minds are telling them, so I think it’s a big thing for them and it makes them better for seeing and playing with Mollie.”
For both sisters, Chris has been a father figure that has allowed them to be themselves and not be bounded by gendered stereotypes.
“He has been the best dad, he’s fiercely protective in a non-pushy way,” said Georgia. “He’s been a sounding board, probably been an agent, when I’ve said I want this bat etc. We have been very spoilt and he’s a bit of a joker. He’s so much fun to be around. I would never change anything about my upbringing.”
