Details: Published on Sunday, 10 June 2012 16:38; Written by Tom Holdcroft

Tim Groenewald was the star with the ball for Derbyshire at Sussex – but his efforts proved to be fruitless as persistent rain saw the match abandoned in Horsham.

Groenewald had torn through the Sharks top order in the Clydesdale Bank 40 match at Cricketfield Road taking the prize wickets of Luke Wright and Scott Styris.

The Falcons paceman eventually finished with figures of 3-30 off his eight overs but, with Sussex at 111-5 off 24 overs, the umpires called the players off as the rain fell and the match was eventually called off.
