Jacques Rudolph Biography

Jacques Rudolph is one of the most popular and richest Cricketer who was born on May 4, 1981 in Springs, Springs, South Africa. He made a record breaking century debut versus Surrey at The Oval during the County Championship. Yorkshire had made a shaky start, but alongside promising all- rounder Adil Rashid, Rudolph helped make 190 and in the process break a record 6th wicket partnership against Surrey for Yorkshire. The record had stood since George Hirst and Irving Washington posted 134 in 1902. Rudolph’s fine innings ended for 122, being caught off the bowling of Steve Magoffin, the innings including 20 fours and 3 sixes. Rudolph went on to hit further consecutive centuries against Worcestershire (129) and Durham (104). His finest moment for Yorkshire came at North Marine Road, Scarborough on 23 August where he racked up a double century against Warwickshire and helped put Yorkshire in a commanding position.

He also broke the South African third-wicket partnership record, alongside Boeta Dippenaar, reaching 429 against Bangladesh at Chittagong. He saved a Test for South Africa in the Perth Test match in December 2005 after defying the Australian bowlers for more than a day to score 102 and ensure a draw. After declaring himself unavailable for selection by South Africa after agreeing to join Yorkshire under the Kolpak ruling he stated he did not want to represent South Africa again and hoped to possibly represent England, qualifying by residency, after deciding to buy a house and live permanently in Yorkshire.

Rudolph began the 2007 one-day season opening the batting and took just 3 games to score his maiden one-day century for Yorkshire, hitting exactly 100 off 133 balls against Leicestershire. Despite Rudolph’s knock, Yorkshire went on to lose the game by 6 wickets. He kicked off his Pro40 season in style with 127 in a match against Kent at Scarborough in a Yorkshire win and continued his good form in the 8-wicket thrashing of Glamorgan with 49* as they went top of Division 2.

Although still centrally contracted, Rudolph signed a three-year deal in 2007 to play for Yorkshire under the Kolpak ruling. In doing so he declared himself unavailable for selection for the duration of the contract. Rudolph wore squad number 24 for Yorkshire and in October 2007 further committed himself to the county, signing a 4-year deal which would keep him at the club until 2011.

Rudolph was chosen for South Africa’s Test team in 2003 having previously had his selection for the 2002 New Year’s Test against Australia in Sydney overruled by cricket administrators due to the South African practice of obeying a ‘quota’ of non-white players; the board overruled the selectors and installed Justin Ontong in the team. The selectors noticed him during one of his performances in domestic cricket.
