Steve Kirby is a highly competitive right-arm fast bowler who burst upon the scene in 2000, when it looked like his chance of county honours was on the point of passing him by in favour of his other trade, selling industrial flooring. Discarded by Leicestershire without playing a single first-class game, Kirby took seven wickets on his Yorkshire debut in 2001. His third match saw him pitted against his former employers, Leicestershire, and the heroics continued as he recorded match figures of 12 for 72. Kirby went on to play a vital role in Yorkshire's championship-winning side, taking 47 first-class wickets at just over 20 apiece. This performance earned him a place in the first England Academy squad, based in Australia in November 2001.
