One of my Kiwi friends used to really hate Dean Jones so I got a lot of mileage talking Jones up over the years. If I'd known Jones was a Carlton supporter I might not have done that.

Deano was one of my all time favourite Aussie cricketers. It's a short list because I'm a Pom but, in my opinion, he was one of the true greats

My list is short too. Thommo and Warnie are two of my favourites. Warnie isn't a Carlton supporter. Boonie was also a legend.

Jones seemed to irritate some people. Not me.

That tied test knock was not human.

I take it this was in an era before sandpaper had been invented?

Yes, he retired just about the time that the England captain (Atherton) was sprung for keeping dirt in his pocket for the purpose of ball tampering.
