FORMER Jamaica cricket captain Tamar Lambert says he is so far satisfied with the transition to the next chapter of his career in the sport.
Lambert, 38, holder of a Level II coaching certificate, was yesterday announced ambassador for the hugely popular Social Development Commission (SDC) Wray & Nephew National Community Twenty20 cricket competition.
Between coaching and helping to market the game in whatever way he can, Lambert said retirement from regional cricket has its upsides.
“Retirement is going well so far — I just need to put things in place. I should have started doing that from I was playing but it's never too late to get those done,” the former wristy middle-order batsman told the Jamaica Observer, while noting that the Level III would certify him to coach senior teams in the region.
“I'm really looking forward to going into the coaching world. I'm looking to get Level III [certification] this year,” Lambert continued.
Lambert, among the most successful captains in the history of regional cricket who led Jamaica to five consecutive four-day titles between 2007-08 and 2011-12, played 99 first-class matches before retiring in 2015.

Temar Lambert, Winnest Regional Captain returns
In reply to Slipfeeler
The WI should appoint him Fitness Coach.
Even if it's just to shut VOR up.
In reply to Slipfeeler
The statement above does not align with the claim in the title of your thread

Winnest and most successful Captain in the history of Regional cricket, are basically conveying the same message. The man is still the best and most successful captain in the region.
"Returns" was just to gain your attention, I guess it worked.

Tamar is one of my favourite cricketers. 
In reply to Slipfeeler
Of course you would CONVENIENTLY IGNORE the word “among”
Being among the best doesn’t mean he was the best
But carry on.
Name another former recent captain who have had his success in regional cricket?
In reply to Slipfeeler
Leon Johnson is not a former recent captain he is a CURRENT CAPTAIN who just won his 5th straight Championship.
In reply to Dukes
Johnson don't count.. that poster does only follow Jamaica cricket
That's de man who said Allen is a partnership breaker in ODI.. Sadly he lef out the part where Allen is yet to take ah wicket in ODI
In reply to Slipfeeler
Shaggy was probably the next most successful skipper. Not sure how his record compares.
In reply to imusic … "winnest" and "best" are two dif in this situation. Yaadie 101.
In reply to Dukes … and? Johnson is now joint "winnest"!
In reply to JamMack … Shaggy only won 2. We had only won one before that in 1969.

That is indeed some funny stuff that you cant make up. You have hit it out of the park.
In reply to anthonyp … he meant when batting.

In reply to natty_forever
Would it be a fair comment to say that the OP is the the kind of Yardie that knows very little beyond the shores of Jamrock?
Is that a jab at Chanders?

In reply to Priapus I am willing to guess he left Yaad when he was very young.

True, Lambert also won the shields/finals which aren't included in that 5 straight. I'm sure he's won 6 or 7 long form titles because of the shield finals.
Remember when Jamaica didn't win the round robin title but beat BIM (I think) in the shield final.
