Neil Fairbrother's England hundred

[@hamayunsikander3547]

Fairbrother was a fantastic batsman. I first watched him playing in 1992 world cup and still I remember his fabulous innings against South Africa in that world cup where he won the match easily for England because of his special talent. It was a rain effected pool match. I wish he could have been selected more for England. Along side him, England also wasted special talents of Angus Fraser, Robin Smith, Darren Gough, Graeme Hick, Andrew Caddick and Chris Lewis. Their selection policy was really bad in 90's.

a most resilient player. later in his career he did not click often enough.

[@avatharamveeraraghavan3001]

I think he is the Michael Bevan of England.

The English Hero of World Cup 1992, He played One of The Best Match Winning ODI innings of English Cricket in target chasing (113 vs West Indies, 1991) against great bowlers Marshall, Ambrose, Walsh & Patterson. He was unfulfilled talent which can be a ODI great. In Carlton & United series 1999 he made 320 odd runs at an exceptional average of 64 but World Cup 1999 proved his last appearance. Fairbrother was another example of how in worst way English selectors treated Robin Smith, Graeme Hick.

Great upload. Fairbrother is one of our most-underrated Odi players: always reliable in a crisis and a great fielder. Says it all about our selection policy in the 90s really that he never got to 100 caps in that format, only 75.

[@billybank2012]

watching it again in 2020 it still deserves applauds....i suppose it catapulted him for the world cup later that year.....Its a shame, imo, that Hick didnt take that confidence from this game into the test series... was a great year of test cricket to watch. 2-2 in the test series, series win in nz, unfortunately runners up again in the world cup. (great combo of bbc and sky commentary dare i say, lol)

I was at Lords on this day, one of the best days out I have ever had, scratchy start, once he got going, all went v well. Knew he was going to put Simmons into the Grandstand!

[@umashankarrath3602]

Till date remembaring his batting skills 👍

[@Lassgam]

thanks for the upload, great batting talent

[@manuelodabashian]

Great player wish he had succeeded in test matches and played earlier

[@WantonMyth]

A gutsy, unassuming player was NH Fairbrother. 0:24 The Nursery End, sans the Media Centre, and the new Compton and Edrich stands.

[@avatharamveeraraghavan3001]

100 of just 103 balls. Fentastic.

[@mainakgupta682]

Who else is watching this in 2022?

[@iammdeepak1]

Look at how thin that blade is!!!

[@nawshercse98]

Great batsman. nearly 40 average in that ear would be equivalent to 50 average who are playing now

[@stephendines1936]

I noticed Allan Lamb on the Balcony, yet he never played in that match.

[@razorheadinjapan73]

Well said!
