During the Academy's tour of Zimbabwe in 1999, he made his first-class debut for the Australian Cricket Academy against a Matabeleland Invitation XI in Bulawayo.
Domestic career
In 1999, North made his Pura Cup debut against Victoria. In October 2006, North and Chris Rogers had a record domestic third wicket partnership of 459 against Victoria at the WACA Ground in Perth, Western Australia, netting his highest score of 239 not out in the process. In the poll for Australia's top state player, North came in second second to Rogers in February 2007. North was named captain of the Western Warriors in 2007-08, with former Test player Justin Langer stepping down. However, injuries marred his first season as captain, limiting him to just four first-class matches and three one-day matches.
In 2000, Northhead Fell's first appearance in the North East Premier League was played in England. He has also played in some Natwest Trophy games for Durham Cricket Board. North was commissioned as the professional player for Colne Cricket Club in the Lancashire League in the following season. He played for Gateshead Fell for the 2002 and 2003 seasons before deciding to play county cricket for Durham as a replacement for Herschelle Gibbs. When Hodge was selected to be part of Australia's 2005 Ashes series squad, he replaced Brad Hodge at Lancashire, and in 2006 when Birt was selected in the Australia A side, he took the replacement Travis Birt at Derbyshire. At the start of the 2007 county season, North was signed as a replacement for New Zealander Hamish Marshall at Gloucestershire. Despite playing just five games, he held three centuries, one of which earned him the Walter Lawrence Trophy for scoring for the fastest century in England during the English season. In the 2008 season, he returned to Gloucestershire but he appeared for Hampshire as a replacement for Imran Tahir in the early County Championship season. He has since signed a two-year contract with Glamorgan in 2012 and 2013, becoming the first international player to play first-class cricket for six counties in six different counties. For the 2013 season, he was named Glamorgans' one-day captain.
International career
During Australia's tour of South Africa, North was called up to the Australia squad to face South Africa on February 5th. In the only tour match against the Board President's XI, North displayed a strong all-round performance, scoring two unbeaten half-centuries and claiming career-best bowling results of 6/69 off 11 overs. In the First Test at the New Wanderers Stadium in Johannesburg, North was selected to make his Test debut against South Africa, becoming the 409th Australian to earn a Test cap. He made his debut alongside fellow debutants Phillip Hughes and Ben Hilfenhaus. North's first Test innings scored 117 runs, making him the first West Australian and the eighteenth Australian to score a century in his first Test innings, and the first Australian to do so against South Africa. North claimed his first Test wicket in this match, dismissing South African tailender Paul Harris.
North scored his second Test century in his third Test match, 125 not out, sharing in a 200-run partnership with Brad Haddin, who also scored his second Test century in this series. North earned a 96-run partnership with Michael Clarke in the second innings of the Third Test to help Australia secure a draw. In the fourth Ashes Test at Headingley, he scored 110 runs, including a six to bring up his century.
North scored 6-55 in Pakistan's second innings in July 2010, doubling his career test wickets total number in the process. North was suspended from the Australian test team on December 10, 2010 due to his inability during the 2010-11 Ashes series against England.
