He opened the batting along with Chris Dent and scored just 5 in the first innings as Gloucestershire posted 343. In the second innings he saw Gloucestershire to victory, scoring 59 not out and making his maiden first-class half century.[4] In the following game of the season he scored 21 and 47 against Glamorgan in a 189-run defeat.[5] Cockbain made his List A debut against Glamorgan on 24 April; he scored just 4 in a three-wicket victory for Gloucestershire.[6] Cockbain made scores of 1 and 72 as Gloucestershire drew in a first-class tie against Middlesex in May 2011.[7] Cockbain scored his maiden first-class century in June 2011 against Middlesex in a drawn match. He scored 127 from 233 deliveries batting at number five, a knock which included 16 fours and 1 six.[8] On 24 July, Cockbain made his highest one-day score of 79 runs from 84 balls in a 19-run defeat.[9] On 4 August 2011, Cockbain scored 59 from 50 balls to record his third one-day half-century in a six-wicket defeat.
