Ecstatic POTM Adair buzzing

“I’m absolutely buzzing. The way the lads put out a few fires at the end. Happy to win. It’s nice to be in here, I’m the innocent bystander in this group of seamers. Last year Test cricket was pretty difficult, we finished every time on the losing side. This is a really stepping stone for us,” Adair says.
