Allan Border has paid tribute to Dean Jones as “one of the greatest natural cricketers I’ve ever seen” 🙏
“When he scored his 200 in Madras he was so dehydrated but he kept going. At 170 I said ‘if you can’t keep going I’ll get a Queenslander on.’”
It’s understood Jones was with fellow former cricketer Brett Lee when he suffered a heart attack at his hotel. Lee tried to revive Jones while calling for others to call an ambulance. “I can’t believe this news but I’d like to pay tribute to Brett Lee for everything he did,” Border said. “Deano was unbelievable at the Test level but his aggression at the one day level will be remembered forever.”
“He loved his family, cricket golf and wine. I loved batting with him and he backed me and for that I will always love him.”
