News coming out of India, Dean Jones has passed away from a heart attack, aged 59. So sad if true

Biggest heart attack anyone has ever had, just ask him. RIP legend.

[Father Jack]

Tragic.

A real hero of mine.

He was one of my favourites when I was a kid. I'm going to not wear sweatbands tomorrow in tribute.

Shocking news.

 

[TheGreatBarryB]

Shit!

 

[Ron]

Devastating.
Absolute champion, and a joy to watch.

His double century against India in 86 is one of the greatest ever test knocks in my opinion.

 

[Satan]

Shocked

Outspoken and rocked the boat in the 90s. Vale.

 

[CURVE]

Very sad to hear. One of our better batsmen in an era when we were going through a tough rebuild.

RIP Dean

Absolute legend. Was my original favourite cricketer growing up. Rest easy big fella.

Wrote the same thing on Facebook.

really jarring when the players you grew up watching start to pass away.

deano could be a bit of a tit but he was a genuinely decent guy, he had a strong knowledge of the game and spoke colourfully

Rip deano

 

[NSWCROW]

Will never forget his 145 vs the poms at the Gabba and his comeback ton at the MCG


Not many cricketers ever earned a recall to the Australian team if they mouthed off after being dropped.
Deano was the exception.

Ahead of his time in his prime.

2020 can fu** off, thats shocked me, RIP deano, legend

Same. Loved watching him as a kid. I’m in my mid 40’s now and to see your Childhood idols passing is scary shit.
