Hell of a one day batsman and the reason I got a Kookaburra bat before the brand was popular over here.
Was absolute lightning between the wickets as well.
Sad news that.

Indeed. I was reading something about Wrestlemania 6, something like 50% of the card are now dead. I think wrestlers nowadays will live longer, but they lived very extreme lives back then with absolutely no care or protection from the WWF

You mean they took loads of roids

Quality batsman. It’s a testament to the strength of Australian batting in the 90s that he never played a test after 1992.
He averaged at least 44.5 in all forms of cricket.

Absolute legend of a batsman. RIP Jonesy.

I remember as a kid watching the great Hadlee v Jones battles in trans-tasman tests and ODI's in the mid to late 80's. I'm sure Jones' cockiness got Hadlee's back up, even though the great fast bowler got the better of him most of the time.

Anyways, even from a Kiwi perspective he was fantastic to watch, great theatre. Unbelievable fieldsman too.

Not many wrestlers left now from the WWF golden age of late 80s/early 90s.

Very true. Hulk Hogan, Bret Hart, Shawn Michaels, I can't think of too many others from that era who are still with us.

Undertaker, Ric Flair, Ted DiBiase, Brutus Beefcake and Greg Valentine. A few others but most haven’t reached 60.
