[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.
[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.
He also appeared for the Netherlands at full One Day International level in both the 1996 and 2003 World Cups and in the 2002–03 Champions Trophy, captaining the Dutch team from 1999 onwards.
Although because of injury he missed his team's first victory in a one-day international, coming in the 2003 World Cup against Namibia,[10] ESPNCricinfo describes Lefebvre as "arguably the best cricketer Holland has produced".
