(pronounced 'Jakes', born
May 3 ,
1979 in
Wollongong ,
New South Wales ,
Australia ) is an Australian cricketer. He is a left-handed opening batsman who has played first-class cricket for
New South Wales ,
Northamptonshire ,
Yorkshire and has recently penned a new contract to sign for
Worcestershire for the
2006 Season .
Jaques was born to English parents and is a holder of a British passport. He struggled to establish himself for New South Wales early in his first-class career and after a breakout year for Northamptonshire in 2003 he stated that he had not ruled out qualifying to become an English player. However, his desire to play for Australia proved too strong and he proceeded to cement a place for his state side in the 2003/04 season. A very strong season in 2004/05 saw Jaques in contention for higher honours, a goal he achieved the following season.
A timely century in the
Pura Cup followed three consecutive centuries in the
ING Cup for New South Wales, and Jaques was selected for the
Australian squad for the 2nd Test against
South Africa starting on
Boxing Day , 2005 in
Melbourne after regular opener
Justin Langer pulled a hamstring in the previous match. He made 2 and 28. Jaques made 66 in his second Test, played against
Bangladesh in April 2006 after Langer was ruled out with concussion sustained in an earlier Test.
Making his One-Day International debut for Australia against South Africa, Jaques fell six runs short of his maiden century, breaking a 23-year-old record of the highest score on debut for Australia on debut.
Jaques won the 05/06 Australian Domestic Cricketer of the Year, at the 2006
Allan Border Medal Cermony.
