Career
A hard-hitting middle order batsman and an occasional right-arm off break bowler, Lamason played for seven years for Wellington in the Plunket Shield competition before his first century, 103 against Otago in 1934-1935. In the 1934-1935 and 1935-1936 seasons, he was close to the top of the domestic batting averages, and he was picked for the 1937 New Zealand tour of England. He was not a success: he made only 395 runs on the tour at an average of 15.80 with a top score of 71, and was not chosen for any of the Test matches.
He played occasional first-class cricket for almost 10 years after the tour, but his top score in that period was just 31.
His highest first-class score was 127 for Wellington against Auckland in 1935-1936 and his best bowling figures were 5 for 67 (followed by 4 for 109 in the second innings) against Auckland in 1934-1935. He also captained Wellington at Rugby football.
