Adam is a natural leader with a winner’s attitude who encouraged his Surrey side to get up the opposition’s noses and relishes a scrap. His batting is more artisan than artiste but he is strong square of the wicket and possesses a tasty cover-drive. As a seamer he is more effective in the one-day game where his hard-to-pick knuckle ball fools batsmen into playing too early. He shone with the bat in the one-day games against the 1997 Australians – even breaking into the Test team – and later that year inherited the captaincy of England’s one-day side from Mike Atherton.This superb A4 colour photo is personally signed by the legend with ‘Best Wishes’.It was signed in 2005 during the Lashings tour to South Africa and is presented in excellent condition.
