Notts Outlaws face Derbyshire Falcons in the Royal London One-Day Cup on Sunday 24 July 2016 with the match to be played at Welbeck Cricket Club with an 11am start.

Both sides have made encouraging starts to this competition; picking up two wins apiece from the opening four fixtures. Derbyshire currently top the North Group, with six points, having also lost two matches to the rain.

Notts have five points, with a loss to Durham blotting their unbeaten start.

Head To Head

Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire have faced each other on 58 occasions in all forms of one-day cricket (ranging from 40 to 60 overs per side).

Notts have a healthy overall advantage, having won 36 of the matches, to Derbyshire’s 20. Two other fixtures were abandoned.

Notts have hosted the fixture on 30 occasions. The first was a John Player League match played at the Town Ground, Worksop in 1970. Since then the other 29 matches have all taken place at Trent Bridge.

Home wins number 21, with Derbyshire being successful on eight past visits, including the initial success at Worksop.

A John Player League match in 1984 was abandoned without a ball being bowled.

First Meeting

The first time that Notts hosted Derbyshire in one-day cricket was on 26 July 1970 at Worksop, with the visitors winning by 37 runs after rain had reduced the match to 23 overs per side.

Derbyshire made 162 for seven, with Mike Page top-scoring with 36. Dave Halfyard was the pick of the home attack, taking four for 39.

Notts struggled to 125 for eight (Hassan 39), with Fred Rumsey and Phillip Russell each taking three wickets.

Notts: Harris, Bolus, Hassan, Sobers (cap), Smedley, Frost, M Taylor, White, Forbes, Halfyard, Pullan (wk)

Derbyshire: Wilkins, Smith, Page, Buxton (cap), Harvey, Russell, Ward, Taylor (wk), Gibbs, Hall, Rumsey

Last Meeting

The last time that Notts Outlaws hosted Derbyshire in a one-day encounter was in the 2014 season when James Taylor and Samit Patel led the Outlaws through to the semi finals of the Royal London One Day Cup with an 85-run victory at Trent Bridge.

Taylor, the Outlaws’ captain scored an unbeaten 146, as Notts scored 313 for five, before bowling out the Falcons for 228 in 44.5 overs.

Playing the 100th one-day match of his career, Taylor scored his runs from 154 balls, with eight fours and five sixes, to reach his 11th and highest, one day hundred. He had fine support from Patel, who scored 55 in a third wicket partnership of 136 and then returned figures of four for 49 with the ball.

Notts went on to draw in the semi finals, whilst Derbyshire were left with the consolation of having reached the knock-out stages of a domestic competition for the first time since 2005.

History (a look back at past one-day clashes between Notts & Derbyshire)

Wednesday 29th July 1987

Notts completed the significant business of the day by defeating Derbyshire in the quarter-final of the NatWest Trophy at Derby. Notts scored 268 for eight, losing their way in the last over of their innings, with Martin Jean-Jacques taking a hat-trick of wickets: Richard Hadlee, John Birch and Bruce French.

The home side could only make 211 all out in reply. It was the third time in the same season (previously against Leicestershire and Glamorgan) that French had been involved in an opposition hat-trick.

Sunday 25th August 1991

A nine-wicket win over Derbyshire, at Trent Bridge, secured Notts their first one-day Sunday league title. Needing to beat their local rivals to make sure of finishing ahead of Lancashire, they restricted their opponents to 176 for nine from their allotted 40 overs.

Despite losing Derek Randall for 67, with the score on 134, an unbeaten 73 from Chris Broad and 25 not out from captain Tim Robinson saw Nottinghamshire to their 13th win out of 16 matches and a deserved evening of celebrations.

Sunday 29th August 1993

Nottinghamshire posted their highest ever List A score (up to that point), in making 329 for six, in an AXA Equity and Law League match against Derbyshire at Trent Bridge.

Batting first, the home side were indebted to scores of 91 from Paul Pollard, an unbeaten 78 from Tim Robinson and 75 from Paul Johnson to help them to their record total. Derbyshire were then dismissed for just 187, leaving Notts winners by 142 runs.

Sunday 29th August 1999

Vasbert Drakes’ most startling performance for Nottinghamshire came in a match that had been virtually conceded. Playing against Derbyshire at Trent Bridge, in the 45-overs-a-side CGU National League, the home side mustered 269 for seven.

Nevertheless, it didn’t look like being enough as the visitors began the final over on 260 for five, requiring just ten runs to win.

To everyone’s sheer astonishment, the West Indian fast bowler then produced a once-in-a-lifetime finish.

He yorked Phil DeFreitas with the first ball, removed Adrian Rollins’ middle stump with the next and then trapped James Pyemont lbw to get his hat-trick.

Then, for good measure, a full-length delivery took out the leg stump of Simon Lacey. Four wickets in four balls – the only time it has happened for a Nottinghamshire bowler in the shortened format of the game.

A dot ball and a single ended the over, enabling Notts to defeat their closest rivals in the most dramatic fashion imaginable.

Played For Them Both

Nottinghamshire’s Luke Fletcher spent the early part of this season on loan at the County Ground and made four first class appearances for Derbyshire, picking up four wickets in the process.

Amongst his teammates there was former Outlaws fast bowler Andy Carter, whilst the popular Scott Elstone also spent his first few years as a professional on the Trent Bridge staff. On the current Derbyshire coaching roster is another former Nottinghamshire bowler, AJ Harris.

Amongst other players to have appeared for both counties are: Hashim Amla, Brian Bolus, Wayne Dessaur, Matt Dowman, Mark Fell, Mark Footitt, Mike Hendrick, Richard Hodgkinson, John Morris, Akhil Patel, Harold Rhodes, Mark Saxelby and Pat Vaulkhard.
