Preamble

Hello and welcome to the third day of the first round of the County Championship. Tanya is indisposed today, so I’m afraid you are stuck with me, but not slam your closed laptops and launching the phone in the closest tax, we will have a little fun and we will follow the procedures together, above the line, under the line, play straight along the line and perhaps also escape the bearings with aplomb.
The sun shines and the slopes flow around the Shires, in particular in Taunton, where Tom Banton continues his career Renaissance. Here is the return of Alded by Summenta of an extraordinary day yesterday:
BANTON makes the story with 344
Be Gone Harold Gimblett, Viva Richards, Justin Langer – There is a new man in the city. The surprising 344 of Tom Banton did not come out against Worcestershire he all eclipsed them, the highest score of A Somerset Player – And marks the awakening of a young burning pistol, whose star had attenuated but is now on fire.
It was also an inning that will have cheered the heart of the England selectors, with Banton who is said to be in their thoughts for the tests this year as they try to build a small swimming pool that plays in all formats. It was not all cider and sausages, 39 by three Friday afternoon, the concentration had been crucial. But with the penultimate ball of yesterday, in view of Langer’s 342, Balton warned against the wind and has full chock full of a border with applause ecstasy and handshakes in the round.
“It’s a strange feeling,” he said, “and I was a little emotional up there in the locker room. This is the best day I had in the cricket and it will probably be the best day I ever had.
“In these days they don’t come very often and you have to take advantage of them at best. I will not lie, I was quite tired out and I continued to tell myself:” Keep a beaten, keep playing. There were some moments when I felt that I wanted to return to the locker room, but I wanted to go for this (the record) tonight, so I tried to play my blows whenever possible. “
If it was dropped in the 300 by a tiring Worcestrshire, it was an aberration – this was an inning of power but also finesse. He did not hit a six until he passed 200 – a real discipline performance for a man who honored the Big Bash, the Indian Premier League and the Super League Pakistan. Now he is also the joint owner of the first triple in the history of the championship, sharing the record entitled by Sam Northeast on April 5 last year.
Banton’s partner in a 371 fifth Wicket Record position was James Rew, whose second season last year was a more crunchy experience than the first. But his 152 was gloriously intoxicating – and Banton’s efforts left Somerset The fans move away from the ground, the scoreboard that reads 637 for six.
There were rinses galore in Chelmsford, where EssexCenturions Matt Critchley and Michael Pepper hidden Surrey – Dan Lawrence knocked 35.2 over against a club he just launched.

Simon Harmer was washed off, but with sunglasses, not his usual April Snood.
