Dean Jones played 52 Tests for Australia between 1984 and 1992, scoring 3,631 runs at an average of 46.55, and making 11 centuries. He also played in 164 one-day internationals for Australia between 1984 and 1994, scoring 6,068 runs at an average of 44.61, including seven centuries. All up, he played 245 first-class matches, scoring 19,188 runs at an average of 51.85, including 55 centuries. Dean Jones was a pivotal member of some of Australia’s greatest cricket teams, including the 1987 World Cup-winning team, and the 1989 Ashes-winning team. His 210 in stifling heat at Chennai in 1986 is regarded as one of the best innings ever played, and through the early 1990s he was widely regarded as the best one-day batsman in the world. He is one of Victoria’s greatest-ever cricketers, and captained the state. He is currently the coach of Islamabad United in the Pakistan T20 league, and commentates on cricket for Star Sports in India and for Macquarie Radio Network in Australia, and writes for Fairfax in Melbourne and Sydney.
