Sydney Chowne Lambert (11 October 1852 - 10 October 1916) was a New Zealand sportsman. He played three first-class cricket matches for Otago in the 1873–74 and 1874–75 seasons and umpired cricket in the Wellington area.[1] [2]
Lambert was born at sea in 1852 and was educated at Otago Boys' High School in Dunedin and Christ's College in Christchurch.[3] He played three first-class matches for Otago, two in the 1873–74 season and one the following season. Primarily a bowler, he took three first-class wickets, all of them in a January 1874 fixture against Canterbury for the cost of four runs.[2] [4]
Lambert worked as a government clerk in Wellington, at the time of this death working in the Land and Income Tax Department. He was a prominent lawn bowler in later life.[5] He died suddenly at Wellington in 1916 at the age of 63.[5] [1]
