Dean Jones

Dean Mervyn Jones (born 24 March 1961) is an Australian cricket commentator, coach and former cricketer, who played Tests and One Day Internationals for Australia. Although he could boast an excellent record in Test cricket, Jones is best remembered for his batting and fielding in the ODI format; through the late 1980s and early 1990s he was regarded among the best ODI batsmen in the world, a view which has been validated in the retrospective ICC Player Rankings. His batting was characterized by his nimble footwork against both pace and spin, frenetic running between wickets and willingness to take risks. He was also an outstanding outfielder. In 2019 Jones was inducted into the Australian Cricket Hall of Fame.
