Buxton, 1975.
On June 2, 1975, there was famously no play in the championship match between Derbyshire and Lancashire at Buxton due to the ground being covered by snow.
Warwickshire, meanwhile, were playing Sussex down at Hastings. The game was unaffected by the weather - but guess who opened the bowling for Sussex...
Chortle, chortle.
