He took a hat-trick for Sussex in his debut season of 1986 in a match against Gloucestershire, his seam bowling capturing "his first championship wickets in dramatic style. He sent back Andy Stovold, and then in his fifth over dismissed Phil Bainbridge, Kevin Curran and Jeremy Lloyds with successive balls."[2]
Three years later, Babington's pace bowling again had dramatic effect on a county game. He took 4 for 23 (match figures 9 for 60) as Lancashire faltered in a run chase against Sussex.[3]
After five seasons at Sussex, Babington moved to Gloucestershire in 1991. In mid-June 1992, Babington took his career best figures of 8 for 107 in a match versus Kent.[4]
