Profile:

One of the true stars of the Super 4 competition, Adrian boasts an impeccable batting record. He was the first player to surpass 200 runs and the only player to average above 10. Many batting honours, including the Slogger's Award and the Royale Prize are held by Korbs. Adrian's bowling record, often overshadowed by his blasting prowess, includes the best economy rate in Super 4's, a statistic achieved by his consistently accurate medium pace deliveries. Also a strong fielder equipped with a good throwing arm, Adrian ranks well in both run outs and catches.
