Adams, the adored 'Gogga'
ISLAMABAD. Feb 2 (AFP): Anybody heralding from the Adams family has the right to be a bit of a freak.
South African wrist-spin ner Paul Adams is a total freak.
In November he was an unknown Cape coloured teenager, with a laughably unconventional bowling ac tion and a couple of first class games under his belt.
A few days later, the son of a sea captain had taken nine England A wickets, television pictures-of his bowling were being beamed round the world and the laughing had gone quiet.
Since then he has become his country's youngest-ever Test player, filled a crucial role — ironically with the bat — in beating'England, added a new dimension to the South Afrfcan game and becoming a World Clip symbol
His value is priceless.
When the springboks won the rugby World Cup last year, winger Chester Williams -made a miraculous late return from injury to star in the tournament, at'the same time acting as the perfect role-modd for the formerly disenfranchised black population.
Adams is already generating similar excitement.
Even the Adams family scriptwriters woujd have shied at inventihg a character so far fetched as this one.
First of all. no coloured South African player, according to the experts, was due to .get anywhere near the Test
team until the turn of the century.
Then there is left-arm wrist spin. Doesn't Adams know that nobody bowls the stuif nowadays? It's inaccurate. ineffective and the art died out long ago
And as for that contortionist's action ... any coach worth his salt would have suggested he take up synchronised
swimming rather than waste his time on a cricket pitch.
When Adams releases the ball, he is looking not at the batsman but at nls boots, a sight which moved an English journalist to memorably dun him the "frog in a blender.”.
And the list goes on. Even his grip is odd. the ball held merely by his thumb and first finger, and he bowls more googlies — the ball turning away from the right-hander -than chinamen, the one cutting back in which should be his stock ball.
He only played against
England A because of the rule which stipulated that there should be two non-whites in the team-
His second ball that day •accounted for Alec Stewart and two more Test players. Graham Thorpe and Graeme Hick, followed for the cost of a single run.
Thorpe was later to become Adams first Test victim at Port Elizabeth, with Michael Atherton the second, while an incessant brass band trumpeted his praises from the grandstand.
National coach Bob Woolmer said after the game: He played as If he had been in Test cricket for 15 years, and 1 only hope he's going to be."
Skipper captain Hansle Cronje added: "I thought he had an incredible debut.”
Yet Adams had not yet fin ished to amaze In front of his family and friends in Cape Town, he teamed up with Dave Richardson in a 73-run last wicket, stand that won the series.
Nobody had supposed he knew what to do with a bat before that day. Woolmer would say: "In the end, England cracked under the pressure. I think that last wicket stand between Adams and Richardsbn created the
• crack."
Then came his man-of-the-match performance in the sixth one-dayer after being left out of the earlier gamds.
Adams' South African nickname, coined by western Srovince teammate Brian
IcMillan, Is "Gogga". Afrikaans for little insect. Clearly, this is an insect with a hefty sting.
