Adam Charles Voges pronounced Vo-Jes (born 4 October 1979 in Subiaco, Western Australia) is an Australian first-class cricketer who plays for the Western Warriors. He is a right-hand batsman and part-time left-arm orthodox bowler.

Early career

Voges made his first-class debut on 8 December 2002 for Western Australia in the Pura Cup match against Tasmania. After averaging only 17 with the bat in the four matches he played, he spent the 2003/04 season playing grade cricket.

2004/05-05/06 seasons - fastest one-day century

He made his List A debut in the ING Cup match against Tasmania in October 2004, and was also recalled to the Pura Cup side. In just his second one day match at North Sydney Oval, Voges set the record for the fastest domestic one-day century, bringing up his 100 off only 62 balls (and hitting the ING sign on one of his 7 sixes, which earned him $50,000). He finished the ING Cup season with an average of just under 32, and a Pura Cup average of 72 from 6 matches.

2005/06 was a mixed season, which saw him average 34 in Pura Cup and 49 in the ING Cup.

2006/07 season and shock selection

In 2006/07, Voges enjoyed a very good start to the season with 2 first-class centuries in his first three matches. This good form led to his surprise selection to the Australian squad for the 3rd Ashes Test. On Friday, 8 December 2006, Australian selectors had been expected to select an unchanged lineup, but due to the shock retirement of Damien Martyn, selection processes were re-thought with Andrew Symonds and Voges drafted into the 13-man lineup. Voges also scored 150 against Tasmania, nearly chasing a total of 400 down early in the season.

Voges learned of the news during a tour match between his side, the Cricket Australia XI, and the ECB Chairman's XI at Lilac Hill. Of his learning of the selection, Voges said: "Tony Dodemaide tapped me on the shoulder and he said: 'Come with me. You're being substituted'. I thought I was in trouble."

Retrieved 9 December 2006.] Voges made his ODI debut on 20 February 2007 vs New Zealand in the Chappell-Hadlee Series before being selected for the Tour of India in September 2007.
