James Adams (22 February 1904 – 8 January 1988) was an Australian cricketer, who played once for Queensland in first-class cricket.
As of the early 1930s Adams was playing for Western Suburbs in the Brisbane Grade Cricket competition as an opening batsman. He performed well in the 1930-31 grade cricket season scoring two centuries. [1] He was selected in the Queensland state side in January 1931 due to a dispute between the State selectors and some Queensland players leaving a vacancy in the side. [2]
In January 1931 he made his First-class debut for Queensland playing in a tour game against the West Indies Test side. He batted at third in Queensland's first innings scoring 16 and opened in the second innings scoring 9. [3] He was selected to represent Queensland again in February for a Sheffield Shield game against Victoria in Brisbane but the match was abandoned without a ball bowled. [4]
A 1934 report noted that after several successful seasons Adams was performing poorly with the bat. [5] He had been dropped from the Western Suburbs A grade team by 1936 but was recalled in February that year, [6] and continued playing up until at least 1938. [7]
