It was as if a script was written for this County Championship match between Somerset and Surrey held on the fourth day.

The drama started on the penultimate day when Tom Banton came to bat after the ninth wicket fell. Bowlers from Surrey had assumed the innings was a wrap because Banton had hurt himself during the warmup before the day started and was seemingly in no shape to bat. But in walked Banton, limping to the crease as Somerset held a slender lead of 149. Banton wanted the lead to extend as much as he could help because a target beyond 200 runs would be a little stiff to chase down. So he stood on one leg, took a look around the field, breathed in and started. And boy, he played! Reverse sweeping, driving, pulling...all on just one leg and added 46 crucial runs to the tally as he took his team beyond 200. The cricket fans have come across this similar sight back in the ODI World Cup 2023 when Australia's Glenn Maxwell guided his side to win against Afghanistan even after batting with cramps. When Banton was finally bowled, Surrey had set a score of 224 runs. Taking to X:
