As part of the club’s 150th year celebrations, we are giving supporters the opportunity to vote for their all-time Derbyshire XI.
We have compiled a list of club greats to choose from, with selection based solely on figures for Derbyshire.
To be selected for the list, players need to have five years or more with Derbyshire, to emphasise their longevity and contribution to the club’s history.
Only one overseas player permitted, with the overseas player that receives the most votes being selected for the overall XI.
From a world-record holding wicketkeeper, to the club’s all-time leading run-scorer, there are some of the greatest players to represent the club over the last 150 years, but you have the final say on who makes the team.
The side will contain:
Two openers
Three batsmen
One pace-bowling all-rounder
One spin-bowling all-rounder
One wicketkeeper
One specialist spin bowler
Two specialist fast bowlers
