    "editor1": "<p><strong>Brisbane, Jan 6: <\/strong>England&#39;s dashing opener Tom Banton underlined why he is rated so highly in T20 cricket by smashing a 19-ball 56 for Brisbane Heat, the second fastest half-century in Big Bash League (BBL) history, in a rain-shortened match against Sydney Thunder here on Monday. Banton also hit a series of five sixes in one over after playing a dot in the first ball.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Banton&#39;s hurricane knock was studded with two fours and seven sixes as he helped his team reach 119\/4 in eight overs.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>The innings would certainly delight Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) management and fans alike after the 21-year-old was snapped up by the two-time Indian Premier League (IPL) champions for his base price of Rs 1 crore in the recently held league auctions in Kolkata.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Banton has played three T20Is for England, scoring 56 runs.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Earlier on Sunday, Canterbury batsman Leo Carter had achieved a rare feat as he had smashed six sixes in an over to becoming only the fourth batsman to do so in T20s.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>In the 16th over of a T20 Super Smash tournament at Hagley Oval here, Carter hammered left-arm spinner Anton Devcich, who was bowling for Northern Districts. It was Carter&#39;s heroics which helped Canterbury overhaul a challenging 220-run target with seven balls to spare.<br \/>\r\n&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-lang=\"en\">\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">This is just extraordinary.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nTom Banton launches five consecutive sixes! <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/BBL09?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#BBL09<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/STYOFVvchy\">pic.twitter.com\/STYOFVvchy<\/a><\/p>\r\n&mdash; KFC Big Bash League (@BBL) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/BBL\/status\/1214132302655025153?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">January 6, 2020<\/a><\/blockquote>\r\n<script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>",
