'''Gregory Arthur Lamb''' (born 4 March 1981) is a Zimbabwean former [[cricket]]er. He is a right-handed batsman who can bowl both off spin and right arm medium pace.

He was Zimbabwe's Young Player of the Year and represented his country at Under-12, Under-15 and Under-19 levels. He played in the [[C&G Trophy]] final for [[Hampshire County Cricket Club|Hampshire]] against [[Warwickshire County Cricket Club|Warwickshire]] in 2005 and was a valuable member of the squad which finished runners-up in the Frizzell County Championship in 2005.

Lamb was released by Hampshire at the end of the 2008 season having not played for the first team under caretaker coach [[Giles White]]. He took just eight Championship wickets at 71.37 in the [[2008 County Championship]] season.

In 2009 Lamb joined [[Wiltshire County Cricket Club|Wiltshire]], making his debut in the [[Minor Counties Championship]] against [[Wales Minor Counties Cricket Club|Wales Minor Counties]].

Lamb has since returned to Zimbabwe to play for the [[Mashonaland Eagles]]. Lamb has had a prolific season with the Eagles which has led to his inclusion in Zimbabwe's squad for [[Zimbabwean cricket team in West Indies in 2009–10|their tour to the West Indies]].

==International career==
Lamb made his debut for Zimbabwe in [[Twenty20 International]]s against the [[West Indies cricket team|West Indies]], scoring 11 runs and taking 2/14 from 4 overs, including the wicket of [[Shivnarine Chanderpaul]] [[Leg before wicket|leg before]] as Zimbabwe won by 26 runs.

Lamb made his [[One Day International]] debut for Zimbabwe against the West Indies on 4 March 2010, where in the West Indies innings he took the wicket of [[Shivnarine Chanderpaul]] [[Leg before wicket|LBW]] as Zimbabwe went on to win the match by 2 runs.
