So much for waiting a couple hours.

So first time I'm watching this fella (Jaques). Looks like an opener (unlike his partner)...does he keep it tight and put the ball on the ground?
Maharoof looks alright to me, he just seems to bowl the half volley a bit more than you'd like, probably his concentration letting him down from time to time, but he's nippy and hits the seam and bowls a good line.
Dont think he's nearly as rubbish as people say.

Three or four years ago I saw a grade game where Jaques made a ton and it was technically one of the best innings I'd seen live. It was poetry - like something from the coaching manual.
About 2 years ago I saw him again and he was no where near as classical as he had previously looked, but he now just smashed the bowling. Last year he scored 300 in a day in a 1st grade game. He is circumspect atm, and no doubt nervous, but if he gets in and going......
