Ross adair

Following on from the acquisition of Stuart Thompson, CSNI have signed batsman Ross Adair from Holywood ahead of the 2020 season. The 25-year-old has long been considered one of the best players outside of the Premier League and would have attracted much interest following Holywood’s relegation to Section Two in 2019. Older brother of Ireland all-rounder Mark, Ross has his own international honours having A hard-hitting opening batsman, Adair showcased his talent in full last season, scoring half-centuries against Downpatrick (twice), Armagh and Woodvale before smashing 153 against the eventual Section One champions in July. That form earned him a call-up to the Emerging Knights squad for matches against the North West and Leinster (which were postponed without a ball being bowled) and a fixture against Also providing the option of some handy spin, Adair could establish a dynamic opening partnership with Marc Ellison, who won the Larry Warke Trophy for batting last season, at Stormont. “When it became evident that Ross wanted to play Premier League cricket, we were immediately keen to see if we could get him to Stormont,” said Gary Wilson. “It’s great that he has agreed to join us after having I’m sure no shortage of teams looking to sign him. “We know how destructive he can be and are looking forward to having him with us.” It will further bolster CSNI’s options after announcing Andre Malan won’t be returning as overseas professional and losing both Adair is also a talent...

2nd T20 international: Zimbabwe 144 (20 ovs) (C Ervine 42, I Kala 25; G Hume 3-17, H Tector 2-22), Ireland 150-4 (19.4 ovs) (R Adair 65, A Balbirnie 33, H Tector 26; R Burl 2-26). Ireland won by 6 wkts to level series 1-1 A thrilling game in Harare ended in a six-wicket victory for Ireland, after Ross Adair smashed his maiden T20 international half-century to set up Ireland’s run chase and level the series against Zimbabwe. With Ireland set 145 runs to win after bowling Zimbabwe out in their 20 overs, Adair and Andrew Balbirnie looked set to cruise to the total with a 48-run opening stand. Two quick wickets saw Harry Tector take over as Adair’s partner, and the two took Ireland to within 26 runs of the target with four overs to go. Some scintillating death bowling from Tendai Chatara and Ryan Burl briefly turned the game, with the equation reducing to nine off eight. But Curtis Campher and George Dockrell saw them home with two balls to spare: Dockrell finished the innings with a six to set up the series decider on Sunday. Earlier, Zimbabwe got off to a flying start after losing Tadiwanashe Marumani thanks to Tector’s newfound bowling success in T20Is, this being only the second time he has bowled in 53 games. Craig Ervine and Innocent Kaia – into the Zimbabwe’s XI after Gary Ballance withdrew ahead of the game following a concussion – blasted 48 off 29 in the powerplay, including a flat-batted smash from Kaia down the ground off Mark Adair for six. Ireland rang the bowlin...

It was a huge change of fortunes for him as he made only five runs in his international debut on Thursday, with Zimbabwe winning by five wickets. Adair departed after trying to clear long-on off left-arm quick "My switch to cricket was purely for fun, then I started scoring runs and took it more seriously," said Adair, whose younger brother Mark was also part of the winning team. "I took my time today and it paid off. I knew if I was patient, the boundaries would come. We pat ourselves on the back, and come back again tomorrow." Balbirnie atoned for a poor showing in the first match with his runs coming off 31 balls in an innings that included a six and three fours. When Adair departed, Ireland were 119-3 and needed 26 runs from four overs to win. Tector departed with nine still required before Leg spinner With former England Test batter Put in to bat after losing the toss and one wicket down with just six runs on the board, Ervine took charge with his 40-ball innings, which included four fours. He was undone when attempting a scoop shot off a back-of-a-length delivery from Graham Hume, top-edging it to fine leg where Tector made the catch. "We worked pretty hard to set a decent platform of 160, 170, 180 runs," said Ervine. "But Ireland bowled well and made it difficult for us to get boundaries."

Anyone who played a bit of cricket in school inevitably saw it happen. With the team short on numbers on a given day, one of the rugby lads with decent hand eye co-ordination is called in – he’s big and strong, he’ll be able to give it a whack. Describing Ross Adair merely as a rugby lad who can give a cricket ball a thump does him a disservice. That said, the description is not completely wide of the mark. [ ] The former Ulster backthree player – he earned one senior cap against the Dragons back in 2015 to go with several more A appearances in the Celtic Cup – is on the cusp of an Ireland debut in cricket. As an underage international, cricket has been part of his life for some time, yet he packs the punch expected of someone coming from a powerful rugby background. “I’ll try hit that wee white thing as far and as hard as I can,” chuckles Adair ahead of travelling to to Zimbabwe with Ireland for a three-match T20 tour. “I don’t want to complicate things too much. [ ] “If I see ball, hit ball, I don’t want to think about all the technical stuff. Yes it’s important, but if a ball’s in my area and I think I can hit it for six I’m gonna try and do it.” Adair’s journey to a potential debut, by his own admission, has been “a weird old road to get here.” After the solitary Ulster cap, opportunities at his home side were limited. “Their backthree was Andrew Trimble, Tommy Bowe and Jared Payne, that was an Irish backthree. There’s not many people my age that would have got into th...
