Jacobus Andries Rudolph (born May 4, 1981 in Springs, South Africa), popularly known as Jacques Rudolph and is a South African Test and ODI cricketer. 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 officials due to the South African practice of obeying a 'quota' of non-white players. The selectors noticed him during one of his many impressive performances in domestic cricket. On his debut Test match against Bangladesh he scored 222 not out; his best total to date.
Rudolph currently plays for the Eagles (domestically) and bats between No.2 and No.5. Rudolph has signed a one year deal to play with Derbyshire in the 2005/2006 season in England. 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. Although still centrally contracted, Rudolph signed a Kolpak deal to play for Yorkshire in the 2007 English season.
