Roland Philippe Lefebvre (born 7 February 1963), is a Dutch former international cricketer who captained the Netherlands national cricket team in One Day International matches.[1]
Lefebvre made his first-class debut with Somerset against Oxford University in 1990, then took 5/30 on his first County Championship appearance the following week. Later that year, he claimed 7/15 (at the time the equal fifth-best return in List A cricket) in Somerset's record 346-run victory against Devon in the NatWest Trophy.[2] Lefebvre spent the winter in New Zealand, playing for Canterbury, where he achieved his career-best first-class bowling figures of 6/45, then back in England in 1991 scored his only first-class hundred, making exactly 100 against Worcestershire.[3]
Lefebvre was signed by Glamorgan for 1993 and proved particularly effective in one-day cricket where his consistent accuracy made him difficult for batsmen to dominate, as evidenced by a superb bowling analysis of 11-5-13-2 in the quarter-final of the NatWest Trophy game against Worcestershire. Lefebvre's bowling was a significant factor in Glamorgan's Sunday League triumph in 1993.
Lefebvre was also a popular figure at Glamorgan, Andrew Hignell listing him among the county's cult heroes.[4]
