A little stat attack before tonight's game.   MCC have a rich history in Scotland's oldest cricketing trophy, The Edinburgh Public Parks Association Trophy (http://www.eastleague.org.uk/cups/parkstrophy/), having lifted it on 4 occasions and having been finalists a further 6 times.  However it is a long time since the heady days of the 1990s, where MCC reached 8 finals in 10 years.  MCC's last foray to the final saw them come up short by 22 runs against Holy Cross, 11 years after their 1 run win
