Mark adair

Mark Adair is a tall, seam-bowling allrounder from Northern Ireland who made his first-class debut for Warwickshire while still a teenager at the end of the 2015 season. From a sporting family - his father was a goalkeeper at a decent level and his brother plays rugby and represented Ireland at cricket at age-group level - Adair also showed promise in rugby but committed to cricket having been offered a trial by Warwickshire in 2013. He has represented Ireland at age-group and A team level and claimed the wicket of Marcus Trescothick as his maiden victim in first-class cricket. He was released by Warwickshire at the end of the 2017 season and has since played for Northern Knights and Durham's second team.

Only Test, Lord's (day three of four) Ireland 172 (Broad 5-51, Leach 3-35) & 362 (Adair 88, McBrine 86*, Tongue 5-66) England 524-4 dec (Pope 205, Duckett 182) & 12-0 (Crawley 12*) England won by 10 wickets Scorecard England finally overcame a spirited fightback by Ireland to win the one-off Test at Lord's by 10 wickets. When Ireland lost their sixth wicket, effectively their seventh because opener James McCollum was absent injured, they still needed 190 runs to make England bat again. But number nine Adair repeatedly flogged the ball through the leg side and McBrine played some high-class strokes in a seventh-wicket partnership of 163 - Ireland's highest for any wicket in Tests. Though Adair eventually feathered Matthew Potts behind and pace bowler Josh Tongue completed a five-wicket haul on his Test debut, last man Graham Hume pushed Ireland into the lead to the delight of a Lord's crowd eager to see as much cricket as possible. Ireland were finally dismissed for 362 when Hume was bowled by Stuart Broad, leaving McBrine stranded and England needing 11 to win. Zak Crawley scored all of them in four balls to seal victory in England's final Test before the Ashes series against Australia which begins on 16 June at Edgbaston. Before then, attention turns to the Australians and their World Test Championship final against India at The Oval, starting on Wednesday. • Stokes 'on course' to bowl in first Ashes Test • England beat Ireland - relive the best clips from day three • 'Ir...

S teve Waugh’s Australians travelled to Gallipoli to get them in the right mindset for the 2001 Ashes. We must assume that Ireland made a similarly inspirational visit to St John’s Wood high street on Saturday morning. The usually chi-chi thoroughfare is closed for roadworks, where a hive of workers occupied in major excavations are manning JCBs and laying pipe. If Ireland were planning to make it past lunch on day three, they were going to have to dig even deeper than that. Read more An hour before play, Harry Tector and Lorcan Tucker finished their practice on the outfield and walked past the cordon at the Nursery End. A couple of men in green shirts called “good luck” but the rest of the fans, in their England caps, paid them little attention. A sugary waft of baked goods drifted over their heads from the churros stand. It still could not smell as sweet as what was to come. Tector and Tucker – their names alone are worth a Netflix commission – are emblematic of their nation’s cricketing development. They play their first-class cricket for Leinster Lightning rather than an English county, with contracts in global T20 franchise leagues. After two dark days in the field, it was these pioneers who ignited Ireland’s greatest efforts in this game. Tucker’s classical strokeplay had brought up the pair’s 50 partnership before he gloved a Jack Leach drifter on to his stumps with equal elegance. Tector gained revenge with a lofted four off the same bowler. It was all a bit Homeri...

London, June 4: Though England defeated Ireland by ten wickets in the one-off Test at Lords, former batter Mark Butcher believes the hosts' allowing the pair of Mark Adair and Andy McBrine to stitch a big partnership, is a concern and showed their lack of 'cutting edge' with the ball. On day three, lower-order batters Adair and McBrine made 88 an 86 not out respectively in the second innings and hugely frustrated the hosts through a mammoth 163-run partnership as Ireland forced England to bat again. England completed a small chase of 11 runs with Zak Crawley hitting three boundaries in four balls. But allowing Ireland's pair of Adair and McBrine to get big runs has concerned Butcher, especially with a highly-anticipated Ashes starting from June 16 at Edgbaston. "I wouldn't say they (England) drifted. They just lacked a little bit of cutting edge. Until Josh Tongue got the ball back in his hand, and England went to a slightly more orthodox method of operating - going away from the short ball - there were one or two concerns. The main one being Jack Leach's difficulties in bowling to left-handers," Butcher told Sky Sports after the end of the one-off Test match. He further pointed out that England's fast bowlers were less effective too when Ireland's lower-order fightback was happening on day three at Lord's, where batting became easier under bright sunshine on a placid pitch. "We think England's preferred choice of bowling attack would be Anderson, Robinson, Wood, in terms ...
