Lambert was born in Saint Catherine Parish.[1] His senior debut for Jamaica came at the age of 19, when he played a List A match against a touring South Africa A team.[2] After that match, Lambert did not play again until January 2004, when he made his first-class debut against the Windward Islands in the 2003–04 Carib Beer Cup.[3] Against Guyana during the 2006–07 season of the same tournament, he recorded a maiden first-class century, 110 from 218 balls.[4]
During the 2008–09 Regional Four Day Competition, Lambert scored 759 runs from 12 matches, making him Jamaica's leading run-scorer (and seventh in the competition).[5] His season included only a single century, however, an innings of 143 against Barbados.[6] The following season, Lambert took his first and only first-class five-wicket haul, 8/42 against the Combined Campuses and Colleges, also finishing with match figures of 10/63.[7] Only two Jamaicans have taken better figures in a first-class innings (Gavin Wallace and Nikita Miller).[8]
