Allan Lamb

Allan Joseph Lamb (born 20 June 1954) is a former English cricketer. Born in Cape Province, South Africa Lamb first played first-class cricket for Western Province, before being signed as an overseas player by Northamptonshire. There he made his fame, and was persuaded that, with South Africa banned from test match cricket because of the apartheid r?gime, he was best taking advantage of his parents' English heritage to play for England. In the years that followed, he showed his dedication to England on many occasions, playing in 79 tests. He even captained England on three occasions, losing every one of them, although he led Northamptonshire almost to the County Championship in 1995. Lamb was named Wisden Cricketer of the Year in 1981.
