Jimmy Cliff Posted September 24, 2020 Share Posted September 24, 2020 Horrid news. May he RIP. Link to comment
Real McCoy Posted September 24, 2020 Share Posted September 24, 2020 Shocking loss. He was commenting this series and sudden cardiac arrest? I just heard his voice yesterday or day before Life is unpredictable. Dean Jones was a fun guy and was probably fun to commentate with. I'm sure those who commented with him are feeling it right now. Condolences to his family, friends and coworkers. Rest in peace. Link to comment
sandeep Posted September 24, 2020 Share Posted September 24, 2020 Shocking. He made the Dugout so much fun. I remember him as a gun player from when I was a kid, with his signature lip balm look. RIP Deano, you were a good one. maniac 1 Link to comment

Yeah When someone says Dean Jones the cricketer,I remember the lip balm look too and also the exciting wc 92 match where he was the reason why we lost and also a couple of games around the same time when Richie Benaud/Bill Lawry used to call him the best player of spin in Australia iirc every time he batted. I don’t know if he played after that Link to comment
Cricketics Posted September 24, 2020 Share Posted September 24, 2020 Man about 20 years ago in late 90s he would come up with his blackboard and do analysis on the game with his numbers right before the game. Hence he started getting called Prof. Its hard to imagine that someone not even 60 and who is very active and regularly on tv just die. RIP Deano Link to comment

Stutter Posted September 24, 2020 Share Posted September 24, 2020 Devastating news! Deano was such a lovely player & one of the greats of the ODI game! He was an absolute treat to watch for his quick singles, aggression against the fastest of bowlers & athletic fielding/catching. & yes, that distinctive green zinc lip balm to the lower lip. I recall watching part of his 210 on TV and what a testament was that to his spirit & never-say-die attitude, as he battled through in Chepauk's heat & humidity, despite repeated bouts of vomiting Despite some blunders as an analyst, he endeared himself especially as Professor (Thanks @Ankit_sharma03 for that image), but also in his various media/coaching roles in the sub continent Thanks for the great memories, Prof! RIP! Mosher and zen 2 Link to comment

Sean Bradley Posted September 24, 2020 Share Posted September 24, 2020 RIP, a big loss to the commie world...would miss his insights on cricket. Was one of my favorites...will miss you deano Link to comment
coffee_rules Posted September 24, 2020 Share Posted September 24, 2020 Remember his 210 in the Tied test in Sennai, when he was reported to have played with dehydration. vomiting on the pitch and stuff. Great ODI cricketer. He had called Amla a terrorist and was banned from commentating for 2 years. Politically incorrect and an honest guy, rollingstoned 1 Link to comment
