David Cox
Edit ProfileCareer
He was a left-handed batsman and a slow left-arm bowler. Cox"s career started in the Second XI Championship, where he played his first game in 1990 for Worcestershire. He moved to Durham and was picked on a regular basis during the 1992 Second XI competition, and two years later, made his County Championship debut against Warwickshire - the same match in which Brian Lara made his world-record first-class innings of 501 not out.
Durham finished the 1995 County Championship second-bottom of the table, and while Cox made four half-centuries the following year, he began the following season suffering from a bad spate of form, and was quickly dropped from the team, Durham"s County Championship form barely having improved during this time.
Cox bowled two individual five-wicket innings during his spell at the club, and took one ten-wicket match-haul, in a match against Warwickshire in August 1996.
