Derbyshire County Cricket Club in 1921
Encyclopedia
Derbyshire Country Cricket Club in 1921 represents the cricket
season when the English club Derbyshire
had been playing for fifty years. It was their twenty-third season in the County Championship
and they won five matches to finish twelfth..
, George Buckston
returned as captain at the age of 40 with the firm purpose of reviving a dispirited eleven. Buckston had not played county cricket since 1907, but his appointment was followed by a revival in Derbyshire fortunes. Derbyshire CCC played twenty games in the County Championship
in 1921 and won five, to finish twelfth in the table. They also played a match against Dublin University on 16 July 1921, which was a win for Derbyshire by an innings and 133 runs and an additional match against Leicestershire. W T Taylor
wrote of Buckston that "Only those who played under him knew how much the team owed to the skipper for his example, cheerfulness and leadership". Having achieved his aim, Buckston could not be persuaded to carry on. Instead, he was elected chairman of the Committee.
Billy Bestwick
was fourth in the national first-class bowling averages with 147 wickets for less than 17 runs each. He took 10 for 40 in an innings against Glamorgan at Cardiff and took five or more wickets in an innings in all but two matches. Samuel Cadman
was top scorer.
With a considerable amount of new blood in 1920, there were no lasting additions to the Derbyshire side in 1921. John Fisher
only played in two seasons and George Goodwin
in just one season. George Buckley
and Herbert Turland
made one appearance each for the side, although Turland later played in a match for Nottinghamshire.
Additional players who appeared for the club in the Dublin University match were Geoffrey Bell
and players called Dilnot and Freeman.
