CRICKET FROM 4
Adam Darke
Meet The Team

Name: Adam Darke

DoB: 18.2.1976

Known as: 'Darkey', 'The people's man', 'Television's Adam Darke', 'The voice behind the voice'.


Cricket CV: Spurns the conventional formats in preference to the game's 'corridor' and 'car park' varieties, at which he is a dab hand...or so he says!

Career highlight: Playing beach cricket against Sir Vivian Richards on Clapham Common and (so he claims) clipping him nonchalantly for six off his legs.

Extraneous: Son of Sky TV commentator Ian Darke, a fanatical Portsmouth fan – isn't it amazing how they've crawled out of the woodwork of late – and part-time football commentator for Channel 5 and ITV during the winters. Fancies himself as a bit of a midfield maestro on the football pitch but denies rumours he's just a 'Mini-Me' version of Mark Nicholas. Has a strane penchant for white wine spritzers, even though he can't spell the word.

Most likely to say: Anything that involves a pun.

Least likely to say: Anything of substance.

Not to be confused with: Ian Darke, Mark Nicholas, a cricketer.
