Dean Jones

Bat-and-Ball Sports

Dean Jones was an Australian cricket player, coach and commentator, born on 24 March 1961 and died on 24 September 2020, who played Tests and One Day Internationals for Australia. He is best remembered for revolutionising the one-day format and, through the late 1980s and early 1990s, was recognised as among the best one-day batsmen in the world, noted for agile footwork, aggressive running between the wickets and a willingness to take risks. He was part of the Australian team that won its first world title at the 1987 Cricket World Cup, batting at number three, and was inducted into the Australian Cricket Hall of Fame in 2019.
