Cork made his first-class debut with Derbyshire against the touring New Zealanders in 1990, and was a regular member of the county side the following year, gaining the sort of attention he has always revelled in by taking 8-53 against a very strong Essex side destined to be that year's County Champions.

Despite playing a handful more ODIs, in general the following few seasons were somewhat less successful for Cork -- though he did score his first century in 1993 -- but in 1995 he rediscovered his form with a vengeance, taking 90 wickets including a career-best 9-43 against Northants and being called up by England to face the West Indians at Lord's.

At home, however, he was still worth his place in the England team, making some small but crucial contributions against West Indies in 2000, not least in the second Test where his 33 not out guided England to a two-wicket win that set them up for a famous series victory. 2000 ( MM) was a Leap year that started on Saturday of the Common Era, in accordance with the Gregorian calendar. The result in a game of Cricket may be a win for one of the two teams playing a draw or a tie. Domestically, though, storm clouds were gathering, both in his personal life and at Derbyshire.

Cork's early days at his new county of Lancashire brought him only qualified success; it was more a case of individual fine performances than of the sustained success which Lancashire no doubt hoped for, and the club's relegation to Division 2 of the Championship in 2004 deprived Cork of what he likes the most: the chance to play on the biggest stages against the very best opponents.

Cork himself, however, had mixed fortunes over those two seasons: he took around 40 first-class wickets in each, but was banned from the first 50-over game of 2007 after an incident at the 2006 C&G Trophy final.
