 Jack Lee was qualified for Somerset in 1927 and immediately became a regular player in the side.In his first County Championship match, he was used as an opening batsman, and he stayed at or near the top of the batting order for most the season, moving down only when one of Somerset's amateur irregulars arrived to claim one of the opening slots.In his first season, he made 759 runs at an average of 17.25 runs per innings and a highest score of 65.
