Season 2012

First XI - Highland (Away) Match Report
Counties lost the toss and were put into bat by the Highland Captain on a sunny, but cold day at Fraser Park. Counties were struggling after 3 early wickets left us 9-3 after some tight early bowling. We were then in further trouble after 2 quick wickets fell to leave us 29-5 and on the verge of been bowled out. However 2 crucial partnerships, one from Chalmers and Natarajan a stand of 50 at a slow rate but helped us get to competitive target and another from Natarajan and J.Latimer helped us too 137-7 off our 45 overs. Natarajan are top scorer with a brilliant 61no. The boys took to the field knowing early wickets would put pressure on Highland and would secure the game. That was exactly what happened with Eshwara removing Frances and Catto in his first 2 overs. However, a good stand between Crabtree and JP put the score up to 63 and began to turn the game into Highlands hands. Bowling changes were made and maked an instant impact with Chalmers picking up a quick 3 wickets. Highland lost wickets at regular intervals until they were finally bowled out for 105. JP top scored for them with 27. The pick of the Counties bowlers was Chalmers who got 4-14, closely followed by Tucker 3-23 and Eshwara 3-32. A good first win of the season for the boys and a confidence boost going into the next game against Nairn.
