Christopher John Adams (born May 6, 1970 in Whitwell, Derbyshire) is an English cricketer who represented his nation at Test and One-day International level.
An aggressive right-handed batsman, occasional right-arm off spin bowler and specialist slip fielder, Adams has enjoyed a successful first-class career for Derbyshire and Sussex.
Adams made his first-class debut as an eighteen-year-old for Derbyshire in the 1988 county season and stayed there until 1998, when he left to join Sussex as captain. He is the longest serving county captain in Sussex's history. He captained Sussex to the 2003 County Championship title, and was one of five Wisden Cricketers of the Year in 2004 for his efforts in the previous calendar year.
He had a brief career at international level for England, playing five Tests and five One-day Internationals between May 1998 and January 2000. Failing to reproduce his domestic form, Adams averaged just 13 in Tests and 17.75 in ODIs.
In a first-class career that is approaching two decades in length, Adams has scored over 15,000 runs, with an impressive 41 centuries and a highest score of 239.
In late 2006 he agreed a four-year deal with Yorkshire to become both captain and director of professional cricket, but dramatically reversed this decision on 14 November, saying that he did not feel able to deal with such a role at this stage of his career. His change of heart left Yorkshire "shell-shocked" but Sussex "thrilled".[1]
