An attractive left-hander with a clumping cover-drive, Jimmy Maher played two one-dayers for Australia in 1997-98, then seemed to fall by the wayside. But two prolific seasons for Queensland, punctuated by a successful sojourn in south Wales for Glamorgan, propelled Maher back into the one-day reckoning. He announced his return with 95 in the second match against South Africa at Centurion in 2002, and followed that up with a vital 43 not out to secure a tie at Potchefstroom.
