I'm with Kane Williamson roasting a turbot.

Won't say how long, but that turbot will be burnt to a cinder

We could use a few more drafters.

Not seen it in years but it’s a great watch as you say.

Where does he compare to Russell Crowe and Neil Finn in the pantheon of famous ex Kiwis?

Dean Jones apparently passed away last night, he had a heart attack by the sounds of it. He was commentating on the IPL only hours earlier.

Sad news.

Wow that’s really shocking.

One of the all time great ODI batsmen Australia produced. His running between the wickets changed the level.

The double ton in the tied Test. A top 5 Australian Test innings.

And a great and proud Victorian.

RIP, Deano.

Really sad news that. RIP Deano.

That is shocking news. Great batsman to watch in his pomp, changed perceptions that lazy singles could be turned into pressure laden doubles for the fielders.

RIP

BIG DICK NICK · « **Reply #16733 on:** September 24, 2020, 12:15:24 PM »

Very sad news. I have a mate from Melbourne who was a handy cricketer back in his day who mentioned a clinic Jones did talking about how to turn ones into twos. Remember him being a thorn in England’s side (which Aussie wasn’t?!) in the late 80s and early 90s.

Far too young. RIP

Welshred · « **Reply #16734 on:** September 24, 2020, 12:23:07 PM »

Devastating news, and far too early as well

thoughts with his family and friends!

WEST HAM PAUL · « **Reply #16735 on:** September 24, 2020, 01:11:37 PM »

RIP
Sad news was a great ODI player helped change the game

He was my biggest hero as a boy growing up in Melbourne. This is a real kick in the nuts.

Shocked to hear the news, RIP.

Too young to have witnessed his cricket but he seemed like an incredibly likable person from his commentating and developed a huge fan following in India.

His commentary and related antics will be missed. RIP Professor Deano.

Think he scored a double hundred (or big hundred) in Madras/Chennai back in the day that lasted for hours and left him severely dehydrated. Remember reading about it in a Wisden book about heroic performances I got one Christmas.

Max_powers · « **Reply #16741 on:** September 24, 2020, 07:21:53 PM »

RIP he had a big role in changing the ODI game. Was always a fun and goofy character as a commentator as well.

It was this game, a pretty rare tied test.

He told Border he was feeling unwell. Border ribbed him about chickening out. So he stayed out there and was on saline afterwards.

Specifically ribbed about Queenslanders being tougher than Victorians.
