So what are the chances of there actually being a result in Cup Match this year?If you look at the six draws in the past eight years you’d have to say the odds are against it, and, in fact, there have been more draws than anything else in the Classic’s 111-year history.Of the 110 games played since the first at Royal Naval Field on June 12, 1902, there have been 42 draws, and there hasn’t been an outright winner since 2006 when St George’s won by seven wickets in Somerset.Results wise, Somerset have the upper hard, but only just, having won 34 matches, with St George’s on 33. The most number of victories in a row is six, with each side having achieved that feat, although St George’s did win nine times in ten years between 1960 and 1969, with on a draw in 1963 spoiling that perfect record.However, if there is a result this time around the odds are heavily stacked in favour of a home win.Since the East End matches were moved to Wellington Oval in 1921, Somerset have managed to win on just seven occasions, and haven’t won in the East since 1981 when they triumphed by nine wickets.Somerset have quite a few unwanted records when it comes to Cup Match, including having William Bassett register the Classic’s first duck, and also the first pair after he was run out in the second innings of the first game in 1902.However they also have the batsman with the highest individual score, and Janeiro Tucker’s 186 is likely to stand for quite a while.Tucker can set another batting record this year if he has a good two days. The Southampton Rangers star is just 128 runs shy of breaking Charlie Marshall’s record for the most runs scored at Cup Match.Marshall scored 1,357 runs over his 20-year Cup Match career, batting 43 times, posting a highest score of 134, and finishing with an average of 34.79.Tucker has scored 1,231 runs so far over 23 innings, and has an average of 64.74. That is still some way short of former team-mate Saleem Mukuddem, who has an average of 96 and a top-score of 160 not out.Mukuddem would probably also have the highest ever Cup Match score if he hadn’t been prevented from passing Tucker’s total by Albert Steede’s declaration in 2004.Other records of note include Clarence Parfitt’s nine wickets for 47 runs for St George’s in 1976, while Clay Smith has scored the most number of centuries, three, and made 1,1076 runs over 34 innings during his cup match career.
