It's no surprise there is an emergence of lefthanded batting talent at Queensland, where former Test opener and lefty Phil Jaques is coach.
It's a link admitted by Sam Heazlett who starred in his Sheffield Shield debut, helping the Bulls record a three-wicket victory over Tasmania.
The 20-year old contributed 129 and 78 at Bellerive Oval, underpinning the visitors' win on Monday which at times had looked unlikely.
"He's been great around the group and very helpful for me," Heazlett said of Jaques, who was named Queensland coach in May.
"I try and keep it simple, and he respects that.
"He's helped me a lot with plans (and) facing different types of bowling."
Jaques played 11 Tests for Australia between 2005 and 2008 and averaged 47.47.
Picked at No.3 for the Bulls' side in the absence of Test players Usman Khawaja and Joe Burns, Heazlett on Monday paired with fellow lefthander Scott Henry (60) for a 132-run partnership that laid the base for Queensland's victory.
After taking a 204-run lead into the final day, Tassie collapsed and were all out for 168.
During a horror six-over period Tassie lost five wickets for 25 runs.
Skipper George Bailey and Andrew Fekete were dismissed without score and four others made only single-digit contributions.
It meant Queensland had more than two sessions to hunt down a 273-run target, which they did with overs to spare.
Captain Chris Hartley (44 not out) was unbeaten when Queensland reached the total and after play paid tribute to Heazlett.
"The way he moved his feet against a very good Tigers attack who know how to bowl, he knows how to find the boundary as well, so he looks like an extremely promising top-order player for us," Hartley said.
A disappointed Tasmanian coach Dan Marsh said the Tigers let slip a match they had controlled for much of the first three days.
And even after the batting collapse, he had hoped for a win.
"But our middle-session bowling was just not up to scratch," he said.
"We talked about the length we wanted to bowl on this wicket and we couldn't deliver it and that was the most frustrating thing."
The result gives Queensland a one-loss, one-win standing ahead of their third round match at home against South Australia.
Tassie moves forward with two losses and meets NSW on Saturday.
