[5] In 1995 Fulton stood in as opening batsman in place of Mark Benson in the final of the Benson and Hedges Cup which Kent lost to Lancashire, Christopher Martin-Jenkins reporting that "Fulton had an outstanding day in the field, [and] launched the innings with confidence and style - in a sunhat, not a helmet",[6] and helped Kent to win the Sunday League.
Playing against Yorkshire at Mote Park, Maidstone, Fulton posted 207 not out over the course of ten-and-a-half hours to save Kent from a heavy defeat.
[8] However, his innings was criticised by some, notably Clive Ellis of The Daily Telegraph, of being so slow that it prevented Kent from reaching a position to set a target.
[10] Nonetheless, Fulton was named Player of the Year by the Professional Cricketers' Association at the end of the season.
[5] The Australian captain Steve Waugh, in his brief spell as overseas player for Kent, remarked that he could be "a future England captain"[13] Whilst preparing for the 2003 season, Fulton was hit in the eye by a ball from a bowling machine, whilst practising the pull shot.
[15] In an attempt to keep his side's Championship hopes alive, he agreed to chase a target of 420 in 70 overs with Nottinghamshire captain Stephen Fleming; Kent managed only to reach 210.
Fulton published an analysis of captaincy in recent Ashes cricket in 2009, to which Shane Warne, in spite of their earlier disagreements, contributed a Foreword.
