Joseph Tucker was born in Bath on 14 September 1979.[1] He made his first appearance for Somerset's second team at the age of 15, in a heavy defeat against Kent.[2] He represented England Under-17s in the 1997 International Youth Tournament, taking seven wickets,[3] and two years later toured New Zealand with the England Under-19 cricket team.[4] During the tour, he played all three Test matches, taking 10 wickets at an average of 17.10.[5] Tucker made his debut in first-class cricket in 2000, appearing for Somerset against the touring West Indians. During that match, he took the wicket of Brian Lara, his only wicket in first-class cricket.[6] The following season, he made his second, and final, first-class appearance, playing against Lancashire in the County Championship.[7] He continued to appear for Somerset's second team until 2004, although his playing contract was cancelled at the end of the 2002 season due to a recurring back injury.[8]
