Derbyshire County Cricket Club in 1948
Encyclopedia
Derbyshire Country Cricket Club in 1948 was the cricket
season when the English club Derbyshire
had been playing for seventy-seven years. It was their forty-fourth season in the County Championship and they won eleven matches to finish sixth in the County Championship.
Edward Gothard
was in his second season as captain and took the wicket of Sir Donald Bradman at Derby. Under his leadership, the club maintained the form of the previous season. Charlie Elliott
was top scorer but George Pope who played fewer matches was a close second and achieved the best batting average. C Gladwin
took most wickets and again in a powerful all-rounder performance Pope came close second, although the Australians declared that only two bowlers in England moved the ball away from the bat as much as Les Jackson
There were no debut appearances for Derbyshire in 1948.
