Derbyshire didn't make 100 or 150 in their total two innings?

That's true, but that has happened on many occasions with Derbyshire.

It relates to something which happened on the second day of the game, which is not apparent from just looking at that scoresheet but IS in the official scorebook

Lever got a hat-trick?

Ah Derbyshire got bowled out twice in one day?

Or the fact that the first innings overs were restricted to three overs?

No-one's even close.

June 2, 1975 was the date concerned, and what took place was completely unprecedented in a first class (if you could call Derbyshire's performance that) match.

Derbyshire got out twice in a day (though I'm sure that's happened more than once)?

Long shot... Lever took 5 wickets without conceding a run?

No - it's far more fundamental than that - you could even say 'elemental'.

Look who the umpires are for a start. What happened during this game might have had some bearing on the popular conception of one of the umpires.

Elemental? Was it raining throughout the day's play?

Nope and nope.

I've known months when it never seemed to stop raining. A few years ago, Lancashire lost something like 200 hours of cricket through rain in one season.
