Warwick James Adlam (born 16 February 1971) is an Australian cricketer, who played for New South Wales in List A cricket, as well as Australia at Under 19 level. [1] [2]

Cricket career

Adlam debuted in first grade in Sydney Grade Cricket for Gordon in 1989, [3] and in December 1989 he was selected to represent New South Wales in the Barclays Bank interstate Under-19's cricket championship. He was noted as being part of the most damaging pace attack in the competition. [4] In January 1990 he was selected to represent Australia in a Youth One-Day International against an England youth side in Canberra, the first between the two countries since 1983, [5] and in November the same year he was selected for the Australian Institute of Sport Academy XI in a match against an ACT side which was for potential Test players. [6] He was described as the "most troublesome" AIS bowler in a match report, [7] and moved to Adelaide to attend the Australian Cricket Academy. [8] In December 1990 he was selected in a special Bradman XI captained by retired Test cricketer Doug Walters which played the touring English international side. [9]

As of April 1991 Adlam had returned to Sydney and he was recalled to the Gordon first grade team for the grade cricket final and took 5 for 45 to help Gordon win its second consecutive premiership. He said after the game "I was surprised to be called up but stoked to be wanted by the club." [10] In November 1992 he was selected for the New South Wales Second XI to replace Richard Stobo, [11] and he was described as having a "strong performance with the ball" which was followed by a "competent effort with the bat" showing his ability as an all-rounder, with him taking 6–27 with the ball and scoring a 50 in his first match against the ACT. [12] [13]

Adlam moved from Gordon to North Sydney for grade cricket in 1993. [14] He made his List A debut for New South Wales in the 1993/94 season playing one match in which he scored 3 runs and did not take a wicket. [15] In October 1994 he was recalled into the NSW List A side, [16] but struggled again scoring 7 runs at an average of 3.5 and taking 2 wickets at an average of 36.5 in his two List A games of the 1994/95 season. [17] He did not play in the 1995/96 season, [18] but was recalled again in the 1996/97 season playing two games and struggling again scoring just one run and taking no wickets. [19]

Adlam moved from North Sydney to Mosman in grade cricket in 1998 and played for Mosman until 2008, [20] playing 200 games for the club and taking over 300 wickets. [21] After his retirement from grade cricket he continued playing for the clubs Masters side and he was still playing as of 2014 when he was named a life member of the club, [22] and he filled in for the Mosman fifth grade side for one game taking 2–6 with the ball in 2016. [23] He was also serving as general manager of the club as of 2014, [24] and as of 2021 he was Junior Division President of the club. [25]
