Philip Anthony Jaques (
Personal life
He was married to the Australian women's soccer player Danielle Small from 2006 to 2009.[2] He is now married to Jessica Jaques, and is the father to a son Samuel Jaques and daughter Charlotte Jaques.[citation needed]
Early career and domestic success
Jaques commenced his cricketing career whilst a student at Nareena Hills Public School in Wollongong. A junior with the Wests team in Wollongong he moved onto the Sutherland club while still attending Figtree High School to further his career.
In 1999 Jaques was awarded a cricketing scholarship by

Eligibility
Jaques was born to English parents, Stuart and Mary, and is a holder of a British passport. This made him eligible to play for both England and Australia. With Matthew Hayden and Justin Langer established at the top of the Australian batting line up, Jaques himself did not rule out qualifying to become an English player. However, his desire to play for Australia proved too strong, and his record-breaking form in the 2004–05 season led to his Australian international call-up.

Making his
Jaques took full advantage of his opportunity to start to cement a permanent opening slot in the Australian side by scoring his maiden test century in the first test at the Gabba. Jaques was dropped on 68 and 90 but made the most of these lives to notch up his first hundred at international level with a boundary off the first ball after a drinks break.[4] His century came from 196 balls and included 14 fours, it having taken him 34 deliveries to get off the mark.[5] He was dismissed without adding to his score just seven balls later, stumped by Prasanna Jayawardene off Muttiah Muralitharan.[4] One week later, Jaques impressed again by scoring 150 and 68 in the second test at the Bellerive Oval.[6] This was enough for him to be selected as Hayden's opening partner for the 2008 West Indies tour where he starred with a century in the final test at Bridgetown. On the subsequent tour to India he was dropped when Simon Katich was selected ahead of him. He returned home early to have surgery on long term back problems, and did not return to the Test team.[7]
