Paul Adams (cricketer)

Paul Regan Adams (born 20 January 1977) is a former South African cricketer.

A left-arm unorthodox spin bowler with a unique bowling action, Adams played for the Test and ODI teams for national team sporadically since the 1990s.

Meanwhile, his first class cricket career registered 412 wickets.

Adams's bowling action was highly unorthodox and Mike Gatting likened it to a "frog in a blender".

[1] Though his action initially caught world batsmen by surprise, he was soon exposed for lack of variety by the Australians.
