TIM Bresnan has hailed Jason Gillespie's impact upon Yorkshire's double success.

The England fringe all-rounder says the Australian coach's work with the seam bowlers has been instrumental in them regularly finding a way to take 20 wickets in LV= County Championship matches.

Yorkshire's dominance as a county was highlighted at their Gala awards dinner in Leeds on Thursday night when Bresnan, who scored 849 runs and took 45 wickets in the Championship, was omitted from the honours' list.

At the vast majority of counties, such a return would have been enough to secure the 30-year-old the Members' Player and the Players' Player of the Year awards, both of which were won by Jonny Bairstow.

But it is no surprise that Bresnan has hailed 2015 as the best summer of his career.

"Dizzy's record speaks for itself really," he said. "He came in and simplified everything, and that's what we needed at the time.

"He does keep it very simple, though he's incredibly hard on the seamers having been one himself.

"It's really spurred us on, and you can see the positions it puts us in. We invariably take 20 wickets.

"I can't remember a better all-round season, personally. I suppose this is the first time I've played all the games for a long time.

"I feel as though my batting has come on anyway in the last two or three years. I've had the time to work on it with England, and if you don't improve at that level there's something wrong as there is so much opportunity to work on your game.

"I've just tried to play with a bit more freedom. It's obviously difficult if we go six down early and you need a score. But I think if I don't play a few shots with the tail, we're not going to have any score to bowl at.

"I think that freedom has allowed me to get my feet apart, get into good solid positions and manage to put the balls away."

In recent weeks, Bresnan has been credited with an interest in playing in the new Pakistan Super League Twenty20 competition, to be played in the Middle East in February.

However, with a second child on the way in late November, he is unsure how his winter will pan out and added: "I'm not entirely sure, we're just playing it by ear a little bit."
