About Allan Lamb

Birth20 Jun 1954
Birth PlaceLangebaanweg, Cape Province, South Africa
Height5 ft 8 in
NationalityEnglish
Former English cricketer Allan Joseph Lamb was born in Cape Province, South Africa, on 20 June 1954, where he forayed into cricket. He made his First-Class debut at the age of eighteen for Western Province in 1973, where he stayed till 1978 before moving to Northamptonshire in search of better opportunities, mainly due to the ban imposed on South Africa. 

Captaining Northamptonshire in his final season, Lamb almost led his team to their first County title with as many as 12 wins in 17 matches.

The Langebaanweg-born made his Test debut in 1982 against India and continued to retain his place after the series. Managing to play an aggregate of 79 Test matches for England, Lamb racked up 4,656 runs in his decade-long career. Averaging 36 in the format, he captained England in three Tests.

He debuted in One-Day cricket a few days before his Test debut, where he played 122 matches, scoring over 4,000 runs by the end of 1992. The right-handed batter was in the core of the English middle order in both formats for the next ten years.

The English cricketer’s career ended abruptly after he was said to be involved in a controversial ball-tampering incident against Pakistan, after which he was dropped from the England squad permanently.

Overall, Lamb played in three World Cups, scoring 656 runs at 50.56, which also is the fifth-highest average by an English player in World Event.
