Dean Mervyn Jones AM (24 March 1961 – 24 September 2020) was an Australian cricket commentator, coach and cricketer, who played Tests and One Day Internationals (ODIs) for Australia. He boasted an excellent record in Test cricket, and is best remembered for his batting and fielding in the ODI format. Through the late 1980s and early 1990s he was regarded among the best ODI batsmen in the world, a view which has been validated in the retrospective ICC Player Rankings. His batting was characterized by his nimble footwork against both pace and spin, quick running between wickets and willingness to take risks. In 2019 Jones was inducted into the Australian Cricket Hall of Fame. Jones died of cardiac arrest on 24 September 2020 at the age of 59.
