Averaged 44.61 in ODI that too playing between the mid 80s and mid 90s... when bowlers had a far better command than today.. if he played today.. he would've averaged around 50 or more... certainly one of the greatest ODI Batsmen

One of the finest ODI players revolutionized the game that singles and doubles are an integral part of the game. Classy slip fielder!!!

An exciting and funny commentator who wanted to cherish the game with some banter. A wonderful coach too having made Afghanistan a team worth consideration. A player who excelled in all aspects of the games.

Deano you and your red book will be missed. RIP.

He was my cricketing model. I started playing cricket by watching his batting videos. Although he was retired then (1996). Yet i was in love with him once i watched his batting highlights. I got his playing days posters, wore Jones shirt. Tried to run as fast as possible between wickets like him. Ohh God Jones is no more, how can i digest this shocking news. Its unbearable. I love you Deano❤💔. You were and will be my inspiration in cricket/life. You will be missed.

Your true fan from 🇵🇰

Hard to believe Deano has passed away, remember watching him get 140 at the Gabba, magnificent batting, he could get down the other end in 3.1 sec, he would run 1 1/2 runs
while Boony was completing the 1st, Thoughts are with his family.

The Pioneer of the modern day one day Cricket. The man who brought energy into white ball cricket. A very talented batter and wonderful TV personality. You will be missed Deano 😭😭
Rest In Peace mate!!

I saw Dean Jones at the MCG on a day-night match in the 1980s. He ran out a batsman directly square of and perhaps 25 meters from the wicket with a perfect throw. Only a handful of cricketers could pull that off.

RIP Deano, a proud Vic and ambassador / trailblazer for cricket. You will be sorely missed...

He was an absolute hero to me growing up in the early 90’s. Would listen to score updates and commentary on 702 grandstand when he was playing for Victoria. His running between wickets was ridiculous and he always brought energy to everything he did. RIP to a true Australian legend.🇦🇺😢

I will never forget going to the MCG for a day night game to watch Dean Jones. The excitement around the ground when he came out to bat was spine tingling.

He was definitely one of the fastest runner between the wickets.He was always in a exuberant mood and would likely to be remembered fondly after having left us forever a little too early.

As a cricketer he had the brains and the grit. As a commentator, he had the wit. Rare combination. True entertainer of the cricketing world for four decades. Always loved listening to professor Deano. With love, from India.
