Adam Voges Career
Adam Voges, a right-handed opening batsman hailing from Western Australia, rose to fame with his explosive maiden century in the 2004-05 domestic season, which at the time stood as the fastest century in Australia’s domestic history, coming off just 62 balls.
From his debut in first-class cricket during the 2002-03 season, Voges showcased his prowess as a prolific run-scorer on the domestic circuit. He consistently amassed significant runs in the Pura Cup, delighting fans with numerous half-centuries and centuries at remarkable averages. In 2008, Voges joined Nottinghamshire, an English county side, where he showcased his batting prowess by accumulating over 600 runs at an impressive average of 77.44. He also displayed his leadership skills by captaining the Western Australian team in the absence of Marcus North and later, in 2007, leading Australia A in Pakistan.
Voges received his first call-up to the national team during the 2006-07 season as a replacement for Damien Martyn, who unexpectedly retired during the Test series against England. However, his international debut came later, when he played his first One Day International (ODI) match in the 2007 Chappell-Hadlee series at Hamilton. That same year, Voges also made his Twenty20 International debut. Voges’ consistent performances in domestic cricket prompted the selectors to include him in the one-day squad for the 2008-09 Chappell-Hadlee series.
Despite consistently being on the fringes of the national team, Voges struggled to make a lasting impact on the international stage. In 2013, he received more opportunities to prove himself in limited-overs internationals. However, despite a solitary century and a few promising starts, Voges failed to establish himself in this format.
The opportunity to represent Australia in Test matches seemed elusive for Voges until 2015. Following a remarkable 2014-15 Sheffield Shield season, where he accumulated a staggering 1358 runs at an average of 104.46, Voges finally donned the prestigious Baggy Green cap. On his Test debut at the age of 35, Voges etched his name in the record books as the oldest player to score a century on debut. His splendid knock of 130 runs against the West Indies in Dominica showcased his immense talent. While he was also selected for the Ashes series in 2015, he struggled to make a significant impact.

With the retirement of Australian greats such as Michael Clarke, Shane Watson, and Brad Haddin following the Ashes disappointment, Voges stepped up and was appointed vice-captain of the Australian side when David Warner was injured. In December 2015, Voges etched his name in history once again during a match against the West Indies. He played an unbeaten innings of 269 runs from just 285 balls, surpassing Doug Walters’ record of 242 for the highest score by an Australian against the West Indies. He continued his incredible form with another unbeaten century against the West Indies and a double century against New Zealand. Voges scored an unprecedented 614 runs between dismissals, breaking Sachin Tendulkar’s record of 497 in the process. During this period, Voges reached the pinnacle of his career, but his form began to decline shortly after.
On February 14, 2017, Voges announced his retirement from international cricket. His Test career concluded with a remarkable average of 61.87, the second-highest among players who have played at least 20 matches, surpassed only by the legendary Sir Donald Bradman.
