I Chesterfield was in an atmosphere resembling a country show rather than a first class cricket match when the Australians commenced their game against Derbyshire at Queen’s / Park this morning. The ground was approached through a delightful garden. Jackson, won the toss and decided to bat on a slow wicket. The weather was fine, mostly dull, and the outfield was also damp and slow. Wall and Fairfax opened the bowling.
Storer and Worthington saved Derbyshire from a rout at the hands of Hornibrook and Wall. Storer batted patiently throughout but Ford rattled up 33 in forty-five minutes. Worthington also batted brightly, the small ground making boundaries plentiful. Two hundred runs appeared after 215 minutes play, Derby being the first County to make that total against the visitors. Wall and Fairfax early proved innocuous on a lifeless wicket, and it was left to Hornibrook to get the wickets. Wall came on again with a new ball and quickly dismissed .Worthington and Mitchell.
Ponsford and Jackson scored 54 in the remaining 85 minutes play. The Coiiinty’s howling was -accurate and good fielding kept down the rims. Both batted tediously in the fading light. The crowd ironically applauded occasional runs. Many opportunities of scoring were lost.
