Former Australian Cricketer

Dean Jones wrote the book on one-day cricket - literally. He played a new game in which he walked down the pitch to fast bowlers, ran frenetically between wickets and turned outfielding into an attacking occupation.

He played cricket for four major teams; Australia, Derbyshire, Durham, and Victoria.

He was a natural showman who was for a while as popular as any other player in Australia.

Yet he was also a classic cricketer who once made a triple-century for Victoria and remains their record run-maker.

He averaged 46 in Tests, and in the tied Test at Madras in 1986-87 played what Bob Simpson said was the greatest innings for Australia.
