I remember watching this live on television when I was a kid. And I saw him playing for Victoria and Australia a number of times at the Adelaide Oval. When Jones was in full flight there were few who could match him. He was a brilliant batsman, a damn good fielder and a handy part time off-spinner.
A vey sad day for me with the passing of Dean Jones. I was at the Gabba that day as a 12yo boy when he took England apart. What a great show. Getting a little bit teary eyed right now.
I was also there as a 12 year old, it is one of the greatest innings I ever saw and ingrained in my memory for ever. Deano was a true legend of the game, and he will be missed by many.
He was so exciting that you wished for a quick wicket so he could come to the crease. It meant drop everything and watch him bat. He always delivered. What an exciting cricketer who was one of the highlights of Aussie summers following the slump of the mid 1980’s. R.I.P. to a legendary six hitting batsman.
Deano, along with AB and Viv were my childhood heroes. Like you said, no lid and still front foot pulls dudes forward of square. Vale Dean, you set the tone for the modern one day batsman, never afraid to set an example on and off the field
Dean Jones had lived the life of a cricketer to the fullest,enjoyed every moment his cricketing career and had been always a winner on the field will remain as such no matter whether Australia had won or lost the match.
One of the most gifted players to play cricket loved watching the great dean jones bat he was our best batter for a long time rest in peace deano what a legend
Viv Richards, Dean Jones, Sehwag seem to play as per their mood. Match situation had no influence on their batting style and pace of scoring runs. If they got out, it seemed they were irresponsible, reckless. Boy if they stayed unbeaten.....we remember their hitting even in our dreams.
Even if today's batsmen play an innings like this for 10 times it would not be equal to Deano's innings.. you will be sorely missed Deano.. Rest in Peace
When I was a boy I specifically ask for a Kookaburra for Chrissy because of Deano... The original one day powerhouse. Cheers to you champ, thanks for the memories.
I remember as a young kiwi in the early 90s just how exciting it was to watch Dean Jones in his prime, and just how huge it was when his wicket fell. Those brilliant smashes over long on were a thing to behold. RIP. Sad loss, but he left his mark on the world in a great way.
RIP to the legendary Dean Jones, I may not have been old enough to witness his batting but I sure have enjoyed watching the highlights over the years

Did he resemble James Dean/Stewart?
@@joydeepghosh1781 not really lol.
He would have been well suited to T20 (as well)
@@joydeepghosh1781 Nope.
The man who revolutionised oneday batting and running between wickets. As a Melbourne boy he was my cricket hero growing up
Sadly he is no more
As an Australian, he was mine.
My favourite cricketer of all time
A vey sad day for me with the passing of Dean Jones. I was at the Gabba that day as a 12yo boy when he took England apart. What a great show. Getting a little bit teary eyed right now.
Me too.
Me too..
Gabba has Changed Dramatically over the years..
I was also there as a 12 year old, it is one of the greatest innings I ever saw and ingrained in my memory for ever. Deano was a true legend of the game, and he will be missed by many.
I was at the Gabba that day too but I was an old fart aged 20 lol
"Phil Tuffnel takes the catch". What a rare bit of commentary.
My all time favourite player as a kid. RIP Deano

A pure entertainer and so cheeky at the crease. He was one of the reasons I loved watching cricket as a kid.
RIP Deano!! One of the greatest!
DJ will be missed all over the world.. Especially by me.. Loved seeing him smash the white ball..

RIP Deano. we loved you in the 80's -thankyou for the inspiration
RIP great batsmen will be missed
Flawless technique. Theres no aussie batsman like him. Miss you Jonesy
Jones was a rare quality never to be repeated & can not be compared with any one such as Smith , Warner , Watson even Ponting
Yes you are right he had better technique and cricketing seance then Waugh brothers and Mark Tyler
Totally agree!!
Great era of cricket and Deano was one of the best.
ABBE HAT HARAMJADE KYA BAKWAS KAR RAHA @@fathsomuch

Wonderfull memories. Vale Dean Jones
Who's here after his demise???
The great odi player
Legend. My hero!! RIP.
Thoughts are with his family.
Viv Richards, Dean Jones, Sehwag seem to play as per their mood. Match situation had no influence on their batting style and pace of scoring runs. If they got out, it seemed they were irresponsible, reckless. Boy if they stayed unbeaten.....we remember their hitting even in our dreams.
Deano was way ahead of his time, Brilliant runner, fielder and top class batsman... Sad we lost him early.
Even if today's batsmen play an innings like this for 10 times it would not be equal to Deano's innings.. you will be sorely missed Deano.. Rest in Peace
R.I.P Dean Jones.
RIP legend.
Aggressive Cricket Won't be the Same Without Deano 💐💐🙏🙏
When I was a boy I specifically ask for a Kookaburra for Chrissy because of Deano... The original one day powerhouse. Cheers to you champ, thanks for the memories.
Me and a mate were joking about the fact we wanted a County bat
Rip forever the greatest batsman and real innovator of modern odi cricket

Oh my goodness, a one handed flick for six! What memories... A great person... and a handy cricketer.
Such a tremendous hitting when he drives or hitting over mid wicket or straight down the ground.
So sad to hear the news of his death. His cricketing talent and entertainment will however live on.
Respect
Sad to say Rest in peace
My favorite alltime cricketer .
We were always on the edge of our seats when Jonesy plays in the 1 dayers!
