Chris Adams
(Sussex CCC and England)

England U-15, U-19, M.C.C. Schools England Y.C. and Full England Honours, Repton School’s finest the ‘Grizwold’ attacks from the word GO! Set county record for the fastest century by a Derbyshire batsman (debut 1988) 57 minutes and highest score in the Sunday League 140/not out.

His 239 v Hampshire at Southampton in 1996 is the highest score by a Derbyshire No.3 Released by Derbyshire at the end of the 1997 season and joined Sussex as Captain in 1998. Has never looked back.

A dynamic frontman who leads in an aggressive and winning way, ‘Grizzly’ puts ‘The ‘SHARK’ into Sussex. Shared a blistering stand of 100 with ‘Monty’ on his debut at Abinger. I’ve known ‘Grizzly’ for ‘centuries’ – a Top Man and Legend ... both North and South of the border.

Congratulations 'Griz' on captaining Sussex to winning the County Championship in 2003.
