Dec-13-07    pawn to QB4: Wot! No bio? I'll have to try myself. David Adams, lawyer, cricketer, always good company and stands his round - and what more can you say of any man? Described to me as the first among Sheffield players, in the triple sense that he was for many years the best player, there's still no finer gentleman and he's first in alphabetical order. Top British masters occasionally spot the grading and ask, "hang on, who's he?", possibly scared it might be Mickey's smarter, younger brother. Well, no, but I'll take this chance to brag that I have scored +2 -5 against a chap who typically inflicts this sort of thing D M Adams vs S Ledger, 2001 on us harmless locals.
