Derbyshire County Cricket Club in 1935 was the cricket season when the English club Derbyshire were runners up in the County Championship for the first time, as a prelude to winning the Championship in the 1936 season. They had been playing for sixty four years and it was their thirty-seventh season in the County Championship.

1935 season

[edit]

A. W. Richardson became captain in the 1931 season, and building on foundations of his predecessors forged a team that were runners up in 1935 before going on to take the Championship in the 1936 season. Their record was in fact better in 1935 than in their championship year.

Derbyshire played 28 games in the County Championship, and one match against the touring South Africans. Denis Smith was top scorer in the County Championships. Tommy Mitchell took 160 wickets in the championship and a further eight to make him top bowler and set a lasting record of most wickets in a season. Against Leicestershire in 1935 he took all ten for 64 in an innings.

Denis Smith also played for England in two Test matches against the South Africans and was Wisden Cricketer of the Year..

Gilbert Hodgkinson, future captain made his debut in the season.
