Neil Fairbrother resurrected his international career with a brilliant century as England completed a 3-0 rout of the West Indies in the one-day series.
Fairbrother made 113 and Graeme Hick an unbeaten 86 to lead England home by seven wickets at Lord's. They added 213 in a magnificent third wicket partnership and England cruised past the 265 target with 8.5 of their 55 overs remaining.
After a winter of discontent in Australia where England lost the Ashes series 3-0, glorious summer dawned in front of a packed 28,000 crowd at cricket's headquarters.
Fairbrother was out just before the end. He faced 109 balls and hit two sixes, one five and 10 fours.
But Zimbabwe-born Hick, who recently qualified for England after a seven-year wait, sealed victory with an imperious shot to the boundary.
England looked to be facing a difficult task after West Indies scored nine for 264 in their 55 overs.
It was not made any easier when captain Graham Gooch was run out for 11 by Carl Hooper and fellow opener Mike Atherton fell for 25 with the score at 48.
Fairbrother's century, the first by an England batsman against West Indies in this country in a one-day match, came off 103 balls. When he was out, West Indies captain Viv Richards, who had taken the catch from a miscued pull, walked across to shake his hand.
Such an easy victory seemed unlikely after Gus Logie had hit a powerful 82 to help West Indies recover from a disastrous start. Missing their usual opening pair of Desmond Haynes and Gordon Greenidge through injury, the makeshift duo of Jeff Dujon and Phil Simmons both fell with only eight on the board.
But Richie Richardson (41) and Brian Lara (23) began a recovery which was continued by Logie and Richards, who made a rapid 37.
The turning point came when Logie, looking certain of a century, was caught and bowled by Gooch."Recalled fast bowler David Lawrence, hit earlier for six boundaries in the space of two overs by Richardson, smashed through the West Indies tail with three wickets to stem any final run chase and finished with four for 67.
