Pocock was one of the many openers used in the poorly performing New Zealand national cricket team of the mid-1990s, but made little impact in Test cricket, averaging under 23. The major teams that he was in were New Zealand, Auckland and Northern Districts. He is the nephew of Michael Graeme Pocock, who also played first-class cricket.
