Edmund Joe Adams (February 1, 1915 — March 1, 2005) was an English cricketer who played one first-class match for Somerset in July 1935. Adams was born in Shepton Mallet and died in Kingston upon Thames.
Adams batted in just one innings of the match against Essex at Clacton. He scored five coming in fifth in the batting order in the first innings, but when Somerset captain Reggie Ingle rejigged the order to make swift runs for a declaration in the second innings, Adams did not bat. Ingle's tactics were justified with a 150-run victory.
Famous quotes containing the word adams:
“I wish most sincerely there was not a slave in this province. It always appeared a most iniquitous scheme to me—to fight ourselves for what we are daily robbing and plundering from those who have as good a right to freedom as we have.”
—Abigail Adams (1744–1818)
