As a kiwi I'm gutted ...such a good player..and a good bloke.. R.I.P mate :(

[@SuperEdge67]

Richard Hadlee was a bitter rival in the late 80s.......they became great friends. Hadlee spent last Xmas with the Jones family in Australia when NZ were touring. Says a lot about him. Sounds like a good bloke.

[@michaelatkinson8291]

Sad to hear of his passing. He played for my local county Durham in 1992 & scored over 2000 runs. A genuine class act. We love Aussies at Durham as we also had David Boon as captain.

Such a sad news.still can't believe it.just a day before saw him doing expert analysis in IPL Nd the next day the sad news of his demise hit me hard..loved his presence on television..always smiling and genuinely mixing with everyone..I knew he was a champion cricketer but didn't know he was as passionate abt the game even after retiring..thanks channel 9 for letting me know about this aspect of his life and thanks also for not turning off the comment section and letting me be a small part in paying tribute to a genuinely nice person.🙏🙏

Dean Jones made his permanent mark as a player in the Test cricket,One day International cricket and as a successful cricket commentator.But he was tailor-made for one day cricket with those familiar exquisitely and beautifully striking lofted shots,hard running between the wickets as well as an alert and busy fielder.

[@AnalogTVMainChannel]

[@davidjames1923]

I remember watching him bat when I was about 11 or 12, just when I was really starting to get into cricket. He's my all time favourite batsmen along with Martin Crowe ... Watching them in the early 90's was amazing and along with Wasim Akram those guys are the ones who made me love the game ... Deano was brilliant for his time, the way he ran between the wickets and how quick he was in the outfield and the way he batted. Such sad news.

@Julie Clemens Where did I say he was a great guy?? It is not his kid's fault that his father was having an affair.

Remembering Dean Jones RIP ⭐️

[@garynewton1263]

Deano has left a huge hole in Australian cricket. I remember when I was young 1985-1993 waiting on a summer's day until Australia lost its first wicket in Test or ODI matches and getting my drink ready and glued to the screen at home hoping Deano would make a big score. Us Victorians didn't have several batsmen in the Aust team so Deano was a novelty. The thing I remember most though is Deano challenging the bowlers as soon as he got to the wicket. When he was omitted from Australia's teams in 1994 I no longer followed Australia. The enjoyment I got was taken away. Since then Warnie has in a different way filled that void but no-one will ever match Deano. I have him at No 3 in my greatest ODI team of all time. R.I.P Deano...........go the Vics! ✌️

[@MultiFanfanfan]

Dean love you from Pakistan

[@HLANGL]

Dean Jones from Austrailia had more in common with Martin Crowe from New Zealand. In terms of batting, both had been very elegant, stylish and flamboyant stroke-makers who enjoyed considerable success from '80s to early '90s. In terms of their deaths too, both passed away way too early in their 50s .... RIP.

[@markdowse3572]

Vale Dean "Deano" "The Legend" Jones. He gave so much to Aussie 🦘 cricket 🏏 and still had so much more to give. Taken from us way too early. 😢 Never to be forgotten. R I P

He is not dead but a real life of here after has started for him. I am sure if God willings he is playing a great innings too. A lot of well wishes for D.Jones.

[@Cattycattycat]

I think deano's the one who made running between the wickets fashionable. As a young kid who saw cricket with utmost passion and naturally wanting his own side to win, Deano was the one who made me really nervous that he could take the game away at any moment. What a legend he is and salute to the work he has done in Asia! RIP deano!

[@spello8191]

Moving from Queensland to Victoria, in 1989. It took only 6 months from being a passionate NRL supporter, then to a AFL/VFL supporter. After watching the 1991 Grand Final. I had to commit to a team. As a huge Dean Jones fan, including his love for Rottweilers! The icing on the cake when he was a Blues supporter, the rest is history. Dean Jones was a passionate man with sport. He will be missed in a very huge manner! RIP Mr Dean Jones🙏
