It was supposed to be Botham v Roebuck, but it turned into the Graeme Hick Show. Somerset County Cricket Club's match against Worcestershire in Taunton on May 6 1988 was billed as a personal battle between home skipper Peter Roebuck and all-time great Ian Botham. But the visitor's batsman Graeme Hick stole the plaudits by plundering the Somerset bowling to all corners of the County Ground as he scored a massive 405 runs in a single innings. Botham and Roebuck had fallen out after Somerset had released West Indies stars Viv Richards and Joel Garner two season earlier. Botham left the club in protest and headed off to Worcestershire.
