ERIN TASKER

Canterbury Country beat Mid Canterbury by 44 runs in a Hawke Cup cricket warm up match at the Ashburton Domain on Sunday. Winning the toss and batting first, Canterbury Country found themselves in trouble early at 25/3, before Harry Chamberlain steadied the ship. Chamberlain top scored with a well put together 87 before falling to the bowling of Deon Biggs LBW, as Country made 185 all out in 56.4 overs. Wickets fell steadily through- out the innings though, with Matt Parker (20) and Harry Fitzpatrick (26), batting at number nine, the only other Country batsmen to reach double figures. Richard Print was the pick of Mid Canterbury’s bowlers taking 4/15 off 9.4 overs, including the prized scalp of Shanan Stewart for just one run. In reply, Mid Canterbury were looking alright at 59/3 with opener Robbie Polson ticking the score along nicely. When Polson fell for 62 with the score at 114, it was the begin- ning of the end as Mid Canterbury was dismissed for 141 off 50.1 overs. Harrison Cox and Mitch Ross took three wickets each. With a first innings win over Buller in the bank, Country get stuck into their Hawke Cup recla- mation at home to Marlborough, who have lost to Nelson and Buller, this weekend.
