How maverick Dean Jones won the hearts of Australians when cricket was still the national pastime


When the Test series resumed - without Jones - Ambrose took 6-74 and 4-46 in Adelaide and then 7-25 including a blistering spell of 7-1 in Perth to wrap up the series. Australian cricket great Dean Jones died on Thursday. 'The terrorist gets another wicket,' Jones said as Amla took a catch, in a comment which went live in South Africa. In April this year Jones handed back his life members of Cricket Victoria and asked that his name be removed form the best one-day player's award. Cricket Victoria performance boss Shaun Graf responded by describing Jones's comments as 'a good bit of self-promotion', something cricket could probably do with now.
