Derbyshire v Northamptonshire - match abandoned without a ball being bowled Derbyshire suffered their first complete wash-out in the County Championship in 35 years after no play was possible for the third day running against Northamptonshire at Chesterfield.Play was abandoned after umpires Neil Mallender and Ian Blackwell decided the bowlers run-ups were still unsafe and the match was officially called off in mid-afternoon following an inspection by umpires, captain and coaches.Although no rain has fallen during the hours of play in recent days, the Queens Park ground is still saturated from heavy rainfall through June.Northamptonshire captain Alex Wakely said: Its one of the most bizarre games of cricket Ive ever been involved in.Its a great ground and great place to play cricket but unfortunately the weather had taken its toll from the previous week with the heavy rain completely saturating the run-ups and theyre still unstable.I think if you bowled on them for four or five overs you would be churning up mud. We got bowlers to run in but they didnt feel confident and with our injury issues we had to be pretty careful.But it wasnt our decision, the umpires deemed it unfit and although its frustrating, theres nothing we can do about it.The washout is a major setback for the Chesterfield festival, which has also lost the chance to host Sundays NatWest T20 Blast fixture against Yorkshire after the club made the decision to shift the fixture to Derby.Chief Executive, Simon Storey said: Chesterfield is a special venue and everyone puts a huge amount of time, planning and preparation into delivering a successful festival each year.Unfortunately, following the recent bad weather over the last few weeks, the outfield has taken on a huge amount of water and is still saturated despite the recent sunshine. In the interest of player safety, no play has been possible.Its clearly very disappointing that the weather has beaten us this year but we remain committed to bringing county cricket to Queens Park.The Festival is so much more than just cricket and helps put Chesterfield on the map. Since county cricket returned to Chesterfield in 2006, we have been able to build strong partnerships with Chesterfield Cricket Club and Chesterfield Borough Council. Julian Edelman Jersey .

ORLANDO, Fla. -- A look at some of the highlights from the five games on the schedule Friday at the Orlando Summer League:THE REPLACEMENTS WINOn paper, the Orlando Magic White was the secondary team for the Magic in this weeks Orlando NBA Summer League. The White unit was the only team out of the 10 that didnt have a legitimate NBA player or first- or second-round draft pick. But it was the White, comprised of D-League and overseas players, that finished the week 5-0 and won the league championship after defeating previously unbeaten Detroit in overtime, 87-84, on Friday at Amway Center.It has a lot to do with their spirit, their fight, said Bill Peterson, who served as the White coach. I told them all week I was really proud of them, guys who werent playing were up off the bench, the bench was engaged.The White showed itself to be scrappy all week, with different players stepping up to make big plays. On Friday, it was well-traveled point guard Justin Dentmon who came up with the play of the game when he knocked down a one-legged, contested 3-pointer with 3.7 seconds left in overtime for the win. His shot provided the only points scored in the overtime period.For the group of castoffs, it was a gratifying feeling to win it all and perhaps get the attention of some NBA scouts.Its a credit to the coach, he brought us together, said Dentmon, who scored 16 points. We had never played with each other in our lives, and for us to come together and bond like that is unbelievable. We started making jokes in the locker room that they call us underdogs, but the better name is `The Replacements. In the movie, `The Replacements came together and they won, just like us.LEARNING CURVELos Angeles Clippers rookie forward Brice Johnson showed some potential this week, but the first-round draft pick clearly needs more time to devellop.ddddddddddddThe 25th overall pick out of North Carolina had three impressive games; Johnson scored 23 points in back-to-back games, and then had 19 points. But he followed that with a six-point effort that came on 1-for-13 shooting during Fridays 106-77 loss to the New York Knicks for last place. The Clippers, despite having a couple of future players on the Orlando Summer League team, finished 0-5 on the week.Johnson averaged 15.4 points, 6.8 rebounds and shot 50 percent from the field for the week.A STEP BACK TO TAKE STEP UPDuring last years Orlando Summer League, Detroit Pistons first-round pick Stanley Johnson showed everyone he can score with the best of them.But there was little else.This week, however, the sophomore was out to prove he could do far more than be a scorer. The lottery pick (eighth overall) from 2015 showed his game is indeed growing.Johnson, a 6-foot-7 small forward, picked up his defense this week and got the ball to the right places consistently. During Fridays losing effort to the Orlando Magic White, he scored 21 points on 8-of-19 shooting while grabbing five rebounds and giving out five assists.PLAYING STRONGAnyone with eyes could see that Orlando Magic second-round pick Stephen Zimmerman will need to spend some time in the weight room this summer if the 6-11 post player has any hope of contributing this upcoming season.Also apparent this week was the toughness of the 19-year-old one-and-done player from UNLV, which he flashed at times for the Orlando Magic Blue. He blocked shots and mixed it up with stronger and bulkier players throughout the week, which gave his new coaches hope for what could come in the future -- and with some time in the weight room.
