He pretty much single handedly grew the interest in the one day game like no one before him. I used to sit there begging for Marsh or Boon to get out so I could watch Deano bat......Loved him as a player - what a champion.
Condolences to his family - 59 is way too young to go.
"I remember watching him in nsw cup. He was at left centre with Naiduki on the wing. I remember every week saying he should make his nrl debut. He was such a good defender at 18/19 years old. I would argue since then that his attacking threat has…"
"Michael, you are dumb. Doesn't mean you are a bad bloke.
The whole game of managing a roster is value for money. Will Penisni gets paid the same as the great Centres in the game and he isn't one. Move him on, it's not harder than that. Hos brother…"

Dean Jones, RIP you champion.
Sad news, and thoughts to the family.
He was a pioneer in the one day game. Probably born 20 years too early with the shift towards short format games now.
Will be remembered for his 200 in India.
Yes, fortunately I do think BE was aiming it at you, at least , I prefer to think that was the case, nothing personal Pops 😉.
I should add, this assumes BE was actually employing any type of thinking at all!
B.E you are a disrespectful piece of shit, with no more right to be on god's clean earth than a weasle. Bet Mummy's real proud of you.
Very sad. Great bstsman. RIP Deano
Shocked a sad loss
Will never forget his 145 against England in a one dayer at the Gabba in 91. Absolutely torched them in the days with tiny bats.
RIP Deano
