Ian Buxton

Ian Buxton

Ian Buxton (born April 17, 1938) was an English cricketer. Born in Cromford, he was a right-handed batsman and a right-arm medium-pace bowler who played first-class cricket for Derbyshire between 1959 and 1973.

Buxton's career with the Second XI started in the 1959 season, and, later on in the same season he played his debut match against Yorkshire, taking three wickets. He took his first five-wicket haul during the season, as Derbyshire finished in a promising seventh place in the championship.

Though his averages were somewhat down in the following season, it was his first of two ten-wicket hauls in 1961 which truly brought him to the attention of the selectors, as he finished with match figures of 10/104 against Warwickshire. Buxton was a first-choice player in the team over the next four seasons, during which time he posted one more ten-wicket match, against Worcestershire in June 1968.

Buxton played for Derbyshire until quite a way into the mid-1970s, at which point they had lost the form which had garnered them high positioning in earlier seasons, and they finished second-bottom of the league. He was a consistent middle-order batsman whose skill with the ball helped him to gain a first-team place and, between 1970 and 1972, the Derbyshire club captaincy. He played exactly 350 first-class matches with the Derbyshire first team before retiring in 1973.
