http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Jimmy-Adams-c1696 signs new deal with Hampshire
Opening batsman Jimmy Adams has signed a new three-year contract with Hampshire.
Adams was one of the best batsmen in the country during the 2010 season. He managed to score a total of over 2,500 runs in all competitions, which led many pundits tipping him for a place in England's
Ashes squad.
"Hampshire is my home so I'm very happy to be signing a new deal at The http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Rose-c86842 Bowl.
I'm looking forward to a great winter and plenty more successful seasons at http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Hampshire-c789.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Auckland-c766 [where he will play this winter], too, will be a great challenge, but also an excellent opportunity for me to improve my skills," said Adams.
Adams has a lot of skill, which makes him one of the most effective players in Hampshire. He will have to keep his levels of form high if he wants to experience playing
for England at any level.
A quality player
Adams is a very versatile batsman who can play in a number of different ways. He's most effective when he goes out and attacks from the off. This means he can take a game
away from the opposition in a short frame of time.
He's a very active player out on the field who is always thinking about new ideas and ways to get opposition batsmen out. This is crucial in taking some of the pressure
off of the captain.
Adams is now 29-years-old and will have a lot of cricket knowledge. He can use this experience to help improve the game of younger players at the county. It will also be
vital in keeping others calm during and before big games.
"Jimmy has been such a big part of the team's success in 2010, so I couldn't
be happier that he has pledged his long-term future to Hampshire," added Hampshire cricket manager Giles White.
Betting advice
Take a risk at this stage and bet on Adams being the top runs scorer in English domestic cricket next season. Also back him to get more centuries than any other English player
because there are no signs his ambition is decreasing.
