Weather foils Derbyshire and Middlesex
Nigel Gardner - 28 April 2001

The championship match at Derby was washed out shortly after tea on the final day, but the game was a significant one for Dominic Cork.

The Derbyshire captain bowled for the first time since a back injury forced him to return from Pakistan in November, and he was pleased with the results.

Cork sent down nine overs in two spells on the third day and said: "Everything is fine at the moment.

"I am very pleased with the way it's going. I feel I am 100 per cent fit and now it's a case of getting match fit.

"It's a gentle progression at this stage. I have to keep building up my stamina and the number of overs I bowl.

"The important thing is to make sure I am doing the right things like hitting the crease and getting my shape right."

There was no chance for Cork to get a few more overs under his belt despite the best efforts of the Derby groundstaff.

Although a stiff breeze helped dry the outfield enough for the umpires to schedule a 4.30 start, more heavy rain left them with no alternative but to abandon a match in which play was only possible on the second and third days.
