Adam Charles Voges (/ˈvoʊdʒᵻz/, born 4 October 1979) is an Australian cricketer who has played for the Australian national team at Test, One Day International (ODI), and Twenty20 International (T20I) level, and is the current captain of Western Australia and Perth Scorchers in domestic cricket. Voges' test match batting average of 61.87 is second only to Donald Bradman (among batsman who have played a minimum of 20 innings), widely regarded as one of the greatest batsman of all time. [1] Voges was included in the 2016 ICC Test Match Team of the Year. [2]

From Perth, Western Australia, Voges excelled at cricket from an early age, attending the Western Australian Institute of Sport and playing for the Australian under-19 team. He made his first-class debut for Western Australia in the 2002–03 Sheffield Shield, and had established himself in the side by the middle of the decade, playing as a middle-order batsman and part-time left-arm orthodox bowler. Voges debuted for Australia during the 2006–07 Chappell–Hadlee Trophy, and played irregularly at both ODI and T20I level throughout the remainder of the decade.
