Derbyshire County Cricket Club
History

Derbyshire County Cricket Club became a part of the county Championship in 1895. It is the English domestic first class team that is based at the County Cricket Ground. The county team's one day squad is called the Derbyshire Phantoms.

Performance

Derbyshire were never one of the stronger sides in the English domestic circuit. In the history of the club, Derbyshire have won the County Championships just once, in 1936. This was a boost for the team which had performed rather poorly before that. The performance dipped especially in the early 1920s and in 1920, Derbyshire ended the season without a single win to their credit.



Players

Derbyshire have never been able to dominate the county Championships, but some of the Derbyshire players have been successful and have even represented England in international matches. Some of the prominent Derbyshire players are:

  • William Storer
  • William Chatterton
  • Denis Smith
  • Stan Worthington
  • George Pope
  • Bill Copson
  • Donald Carr
  • Cliff Gladwin
  • Les Jackson
  • Mike Hendrick
Derbyshire were placed in Division Two in both the County Championship and one day league. Graeme Welch is currently leading the side while former Zimbabwe Test player David Houghton is the coach.
