Profile
Part of Western Australia's big-striking middle order, Adam Voges is most famous for his maiden one-day century in 2004-05, a 62-ball effort which was then the fastest in the country's domestic history. Not only did he break a record, he also clattered an ING sign with one of seven sixes. Voges collected many plaudits for the innings and a $50,000 bonus for superb aim. His first Pura Cup hundred also came during that breakthrough summer and he finished with an eye-catching double of 362 four-day runs at 72.40 and 287 at 31.88 in the one-day competition. Backing up with another fine season, Voges picked up 512 runs in nine Pura Cup games in 2005-06 with a high of 178 against Queensland, and gathered three half-centuries and an average of almost 50 in the ING Cup. His prize was a return to the Academy for a second stint after he captained the team on a development tour to India in 2004.
In 2006-07, he went from domestic attention-grabber to international newsmaker when, in the wake of Damien Martyn's unexpected retirement, he received a call to join Australia's squad for the third Test against England at the WACA. He wasn't needed and waited another two months for his international debut, which came at Hamilton in the Chappell-Hadlee Series. Voges almost didn't get a bat as Matthew Hayden dominated, but rushed to 16 not out off ten balls to finish the innings. He earned his first Cricket Australia contract in 2007 and made a pair of Twenty20 international appearances in 2007-08, when his domestic campaign consisted of 562 Pura Cup runs at 37.46 - a useful but not outstanding tally. Voges' one-day form was better and his 306 FR Cup runs at 51 helped him stay in the national frame. He didn't have the impact he would have liked during his county stint with Nottinghamshire in 2008 and visited India with Australia A in September, having been overlooked for the ODI series against Bangladesh. A respected team leader, Voges captained Australia A in Pakistan in 2007 and led Western Australia for much of 2007-08 when the full-time captain Marcus North was injured. With North back for the 2008-09 season, the challenge for Voges is simple: demand international selection through sheer weight of runs, or risk being overtaken in the Australia pecking order.
