Adam was the first player to come through the club’s now prolific recruitment system, joining in late 2007.

 Stirling Moss was initially reluctant to select Adam for his indoor team, as he wanted to pick his Gerbil instead. However, after some severe arm twisting by Princess Showler and TB Falcon, Stirling relented and selected him. Once selected it became immediately obvious that Showler’s hunch was justified and that Adam was actually quite a decent acquisition.

 If Guy is like the pub dog then Adam is at least the equivalent of the pub cat; he is less boisterous but is just as effective, only in a more subtle way.

 His main problem is the fact that he is from Essex and he was insufferable for the entire month of August in 2008. However, he mitigates this problem by his career as a journalist with the KM Group. The first rule of running an effective empire is to get control of the press and in Adam we have done this. The exploits of HCC are now re-laid in glorious detail each week in the Gazette. Being able to disseminate HCC propaganda to the Canterbury area is our first step towards world domination.

 Adam is a crafty opening bowler who bowls left arm swingers. He bowls with good control and is always a wicket threat in the opening overs when the ball is swinging most. He has developed an unplayable magic ball that is the medium pacers equivalent of a doosra. However for strategic reasons, details of that ball will remain on a “need to know” basis.

 Adam has a good arm and a good pair of hands and fields well out in the deep.

 Adam claims that he can bat and to all intents and purposes it looks like he can bat. However, this never seems to translate itself into runs on the board. He was memorably promoted to number 4 once and was bounced out by a 14 year old lollypop bowler. He was back at number 9 the following game.
