had been playing for fifty-one years. It was their twenty-fourth season in the County Championship
and they won six matches to finish eleventh.
in 1922 and won six, to finish eleventh in the table.
Guy Jackson
took over as captain and led Derbyshire for nine seasons "with masterly judgment". Although he was a stern disciplinarian, he earned the respect and affection of his players. When he retired at the end of the 1930 summer he had laid the foundations of the team that won the Championship six years later. Wisden noted "For his work in leading and inspiring the team, Jackson deserves immense thanks. He took over control when the fortunes of the county were at a very low ebb, steadily raised the standard of the cricket, and now retires with Derbyshire well established amongst the leading teams of the day."
There was an occurrence considered unique in county cricket during the season. When Billy Bestwick
and Robert Bestwick
shared the bowling against Willie Quaife
and Bernard Quaife
of Warwickshire, father and son were bowling against father and son. Gilbert Curgenven
was noted for his fast scoring rate and at Gloucester, he scored 65 in the first innings at little more than one run a minute and in the second innings his 68 out of 119 took less than twenty-five minutes.
The most significant newcomer for Derbyshire was Leslie Townsend
a gifted all-rounder who played for seventeen years. Others who made their debut were Repton schoolmaster John Crommelin-Brown
who went on to play several matches over four seasons and footballer Stuart McMillan
who appeared intermittently over three seasons. Colin Leech
made his only career appearance in the first class game for Derbyshire during the season.
