Leonard Eric Bryant, born at Weston-super-Mare, Somerset on June 2, 1936 and died at Brent Knoll, Somerset on November 28, 1999, played first-class cricket for Somerset between 1958 and 1960.

A left-handed lower order batsman and a slow left-arm spin bowler whose action was allegedly modelled on that of Tony Lock, [Cite book | title = "Somerset Cricket: A Post-War Who's Who" | author = David Foot and Ivan Ponting | edition = 1993 | publisher = Redcliffe Press | ISBN = 1 872971 23 7 | pages = p19 ] Bryant played 15 matches for the Somerset side that finished third in the County Championship in 1958, equalling the best-ever finish by the county to that time. He took only 25 wickets, but that included five in an innings – five for 64 – against Worcestershire to win the match where Australian Colin McCool made his highest score in English cricket. [cite web | url = http://www.cricketarchive.com/Archive/Scorecards/23/23044.html | title = Worcestershire v Somerset | date = 1958-07-09 |publisher = www.cricketarchive.com | accessdate = 2008-07-06] Wisden noted that Bryant "showed promise". [Cite book | title = "Wisden Cricketers' Almanack" | edition = 1959 | chapter = Somerset in 1958 | publisher = John Wisden | pages = p512 ]

However, he played only a handful matches in the drier summer of 1959 and in his first first-class game of 1960, against Gloucestershire at Bath, he was no-balled five times by umpire Hugo Yarnold for throwing. [cite web | url = http://www.cricketarchive.com/Archive/Scorecards/24/24140.html | title = Somerset v Gloucestershire | date = 1960-06-04 |publisher = www.cricketarchive.com | accessdate = 2008-07-06] [Cite book | title = "Wisden Cricketers' Almanack" | edition = 1961 | chapter = Somerset in 1960 | publisher = John Wisden | pages = p540 ] Though he reappeared in two further matches that summer without incident, he was not re-engaged by Somerset at the end of the season and did not appear again in first-class cricket.
