I wait with baited breath for Jacques to get 3 more wickets in this series so he can reach the amazing milestone of the being the first player, in the history of the game, to score 10,000 runs and take 250 wickets in tests; 10,000 runs and take 250 wickets in ODIs and have a combined total of over 250 catches.
He has already proven himself the greatest all-rounder ever, sharing the honour with Sir Garfield Sobers, but this feat will propel him to the top of the list of The Greatest Cricket Player.
He still seems fit and enjoying the game, so I don't see why he can't actually make it to the all-time top 3 test run-scorers of all time (possibly number one, depending on when Tendulkar and Ponting retire) and the all-time top 5 ODI run-scorers before retiring.
What an amazing player and an inspiration to all cricket lovers.
