Biography
An all-rounder whose international career was cut short due to injuries and to the English county circuit - Andre Adams, a right-arm medium pace bowler and hard-hitting lower-order batsman, made a name for himself in the county arena. He was a skiddy bowler, who was deceptive in his pace and got enough movement to trouble the batsman.
Adams started his first class journey in 1997 and made his ODI debut in 2001. A year later he was also given his first Test cap against England. Though he picked up 6 wickets in the game, a back injury during the tour of West Indies kept him out of the side and gave Jacob Oram, a similar type of cricketer a chance to go ahead of him. Adams' first taste of county cricket came when he signed for Essex, but it was Nottinghamshire who got the best out of him. He signed as a Kolpak player for them in 2008 and in useful conditions at Trent Bridge, Adams became a handful.
Adams played the 2003 World Cup, but was soon dropped. However, consistent performances for his domestic side Auckland meant he was given another chance to represent his country. He played three ODIs against Sri Lanka in 2007 before being overlooked for the World Cup. Soon he lost his central contract with New Zealand Cricket as well.
In 2008, Adams joined Notts and thus started a long association with the county side. He first signed for two years and won the player of the year for consecutive seasons. During that period, he scalped 68 wickets each and helped his side win the county championship in 2010. Over the course of the next three years, Adams picked more than 50 wickets each season, only Monty Panesar and Alan Richardson could match his consistency. Overall, he ended with 344 sticks at 24.04 for Notts including 16 five-wicket hauls and three 10-wicket hauls. His journey with Notts came to an end in 2014, after eight long years.
Adams was also part of the Auckland Aces that won the one-day and T20 domestic tournament in 2010. He took part in the 2011 Champions League and also helped the Aces retain the T20 trophy in 2011-12. He also played the Bangladesh Premier League - representing Khulna Royal Bengal.
