Mark Fell was an English
cricket
er. he was a right-handed batsman and a slow left-arm bowler who played first-class cricket for Nottinghamshire
and Derbyshire
between 1981 and 1985.
Fell first represented Nottinghamshire in the 1979 Second XI Championship, playing in this and the Warwickshire Under-25 Competition for the next two years. Fell also played in the Benson and Hedges Cup campaigns of 1982, (for Nottinghamshire), 1986, and 1996 (for the Minor Counties), interspersing a three-and-a-half month stint with Derbyshire
in the meantime. Fell has intermittently played for Lincolnshire in Minor Counties cricket from 1986 to the present day, having most recently turned out for the 2006 Championship. He has played in the MCC Trophy for Lincolnshire since 1993.
Predictably, as befits a career which so far has lasted over 25 years, Fell has chopped and changed his position in the batting lineup several times, being trusted as an upper-order batsman during his earlier, attacking days for the Second XI, maintaining a steady, lower-order stream when called upon to do so in the County Championship, but rock solid at either batting, or, in the short form of the game, at bowling.
In 1987, he and his Bassetlaw and District Cricket League team-mates reached the final of the LCC President's Trophy, losing to Durham County League.
