Wright was still playing good cricket at 90, and was a regular at the County Ground.
Hendrick took 44 wickets in an average of 15. Miller was the first to score 100 in his 256th First-Class match. Both of them are known as Derbyshire’s greatest modern all-rounders. Another player who played for Derbyshire was Leslie Jackson, who made his Test debut in 1947.

SJ Dawson is another Derbyshire player who will play for England. Although he was a regular participant in the Twenty20 Indian Premier League, Dawson did not make the national team.
