On This Day in 2017 @DerbyshireCCC were due to begin a 4-day game against Kent at Chesterfield. The match was abandoned without a ball bowled due to the condition of the outfield; @Hamid_Qadri2000 and @ImranTahirSA had plenty of time to pose for this image...

On This Day in 1783 the Nottm Journal reported; “We hear a cricket match between the gentlemen of Chesterfield & Sheffield will begin on Fri 5 Sept at Brampton Moor. ‘Tis supposed by judges the contest will be nearly equal, both sides composed of very active clever young fellows”
