Blimey! Good player but lost form badly. And of course got into hot water for calling Amla 'The Terrorist" in commentary. Seemed a character. RIP
 
RIP
I remember him being a brilliant fielder as well as being a run machine.
 
Taken way too young. Talented in all forms of cricket, and not frightened to take on the great West Indies fast bowlers. He even asked Courtney Ambrose to take off his wrist bands when bowling to him.

RIP Dean Jones.
 
One if the first real big hitters of his generation. Very destructive in the shorter format.

That's some hybrid cricketer you've created there!

It was Curtley Ambrose and it didn't really work, Curtley took 5-30 in that match and 7-1 later in the series.

RIP Dean Jones, must've been horrific for Brett Lee trying to save him.

Not the best of pictures but video footage of that spell from Ambrose
