Video: Cup Match Day #2 Cricket Highlights
The 2013 Cup Match Classic ended in a draw, with the defending champions Somerset set to retain the Cup for another year. The second day of play kicked off with Lionel Cann and Rodney Trott at the wicket for St George’s, with Cann needing 1 run to reach the 1,000 all time run mark in Cup Match. Fans flooded the field after the veteran cricketer surpassed the 1,000 mark.
After a two hour delay and the lunch break the teams came back on to the pitch and St George’s ended up all out for 191. Rodney Trott was the top scorer, Onias Bascome scored 25, while captain Oronde Bascome and Lionel Cann both added 19.
Malachi Jones led the Somerset bowling attack with figures of 11-5-22-4, while Jacobi Robinson bowled 16-3-65-4. Somerset sent St George’s back into bat again, and the second innings got underway.
At around 5pm, Treadwell Gibbons was ruled out by the Umpire, a decision that clearly did not impress him as he stayed on the pitch and waved his bat around. He was pulled away by another player, and eventually left the pitch.
The match continued, however at around 7.20pm the match was called a draw, and Somerset was presented the trophy, which they will retain until the 2014 Classic.
