Day one of season opener against Derbyshire ends in abandonment
5 April 2024
The start of the new cricket season at Derby ended in a washout with no play possible on the first day of the Vitality County Championship match between Derbyshire and Gloucestershire.
Heavy overnight rain left the outfield at the Incora County Ground saturated and it was no surprise when the decision to call play off for the day was taken shortly after 10am.
Although the forecast is better for tomorrow, the ground is so wet after weeks of rain that the prospects of the Division Two fixture starting on time on day two already look slim.
