Brighton , August 23, 24, 1880 . Sussex was very poorly represented in this return match , and Derby- shire had an easy victory . H o wthe home team were dismissed on a true wicket for 45 it is difficult to explain , even in the face of the good bowling of Mycroft and Hay, but they were all out in an hour and ten minutes .
