	Telegraph \| Sport \| Division One: Run-feast as Fairbrother leaves stage
		The curtain came down on a grand old era yesterday, but the announcement that Neil Fairbrother would retire at the end of the season after 21 years of high-class nudging and nurdling was almost overshadowed by a mixture of history, comedy and farce.
		Fairbrother is 39 on Monday and had plenty of time to rest his creaking limbs as Chris Schofield, who hit a career-best 91, and Peter Martin, with a run-a-ball century, inspired Lancashire to their highest total against Warwickshire, beating the previous mark - 597 at Edgbaston in 1996 - by one run.
		A career at a sports-management firm awaits Fairbrother, but there was almost a case for anger-management when the umpires erred on the extreme side of caution by offering Warwickshire the light for the second time at 3.45pm.

	Cricket: Fairbrother rues one that escaped
		NEIL Fairbrother is often said to have won every one-day honour in the game, but he didn't and the one that got away will forever haunt the ex-Lancashire star.
		Fairbrother's mate, but his greatest rival on that March night under the burning Melbourne floodlights, was of course Wasim Akram, who destroyed England's dreams in a searing, unforgettable two-ball burst which wrecked the stumps of Allan Lamb and Chris Lewis.
		Fairbrother, like every Lancastrian, will be keeping a special eye on Flintoff and Jimmy Anderson, the Burnley youngster who has shot to international stardom after just one summer in the Red Rose side.

	Mark Robinson (cricketer) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		He was renowned for being one of the worst batsmen in the modern professional game, finishing with a career first-class batting average of 4.01, a figure which would have been even lower had it not been for his fairly high proportion of not outs (112 of them in 259 first-class innings).
		After a number of appearances in Northamptonshire's second XI, Robinson made his first-class debut in 1987 against Lancashire, taking four wickets in the match including those of Mike Watkinson and Neil Fairbrother.
		By the end of the season he was playing a significant part in the first team, and the following year he took 46 first-class wickets at 22.93.

		The Lancashire left hander Neil Fairbrother was England's best one day batsman of the 1990s, playing in three World Cups, but found it impossible to hold down a Test place.
		He was one of three talented batsman who emerged in county cricket in the mid 1980s, but neither he, Rob Bailey or John Morris fulfilled their early promise on the international stage.
		Fairbrother, standing only 5ft 8in in his socks, and named after his mother's favourite cricketer, the Australian Neil Harvey, was the first to be given the opportunity, playing in the first Test against Pakistan in 1987.

		BRISBANE, Australia (CNN/SI) -- Neil Fairbrother proved to be England's savior as he put together an innings of 67 not out as it beat Sri Lanka by four wickets in a tense match that went down to the wire.
		Veteran left-hander Fairbrother showed his value in one-day cricket by holding England's innings together as it won with three balls remaining in its 50 overs, making 208 for six in reply to Sri Lanka's 207 for seven.
		There was a contentious moment when Fairbrother gave Upal Chandana a gentle elbow as the batsman turned for a second run, prompting a brief heated exchange of words but a potential flashpoint was soon defused.

	Cricinfo - Players and Officials - Neil Fairbrother
		Small, tenacious and with a good eye for the sharp single, Fairbrother derived his two Christian names from another durable left-hander - and his mother's favourite cricketer - the former Australian Test batsman Neil Harvey.
		Fairbrother carved out a career for himself as England's leading one-day batsman in the middle order for much of the 1990s, picking the gaps with scientific precision, dabbing the ball behind square, occasionally hitting over the top on the leg side - and running like hell.
		He has been the architect of several one-day triumphs at Lancashire, where he was captain in 1992, and remained one of their batting linchpins at first-class level until his retirement at the end of 2002.

		Given his importance to England’s World Cup challenge now, it seems incredible that he was completely overlooked by the selectors between the end of the last World Cup and the recent tournament in Bangladesh when the rules stipulated each team could only be made up of players who had already played one-day international cricket.

		Unfortunately, the injury-prone Fairbrother strained a hamstring muscle and he called for a runner, but that setback didn't slow his progress and eventually England were able to set a reasonable target.

	Cricinfo - Crawley, Fairbrother work hard to revive Lancs (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		An unbroken liaison of fifty-three for the third wicket between a hard working John Crawley and Neil Fairbrother has enabled Lancashire to work its way back into its tense struggle with Yorkshire by the end of day three of this excellent Roses match at Headingley.
		Decisions by Mike Atherton (17) to follow a Chris Elstub (1/15) outswinger and Andy Flintoff (25) to drive at a wide ball from Chris Silverwood (1/34) had looked to be condemning the visitors to a sticky predicament, but the right hand-left hand combination offered by the third wicket pair soon redressed the balance.
		Crawley proved particularly adept at working the ball through the square leg and mid wicket regions, while a slightly more defensively inclined Fairbrother accumulated most of his runs with deft shots into gaps on both sides of the wicket.
