Cricket will miss the wit and wisdom of Dean JonesPugnacious. That’s the word that comes to mind when you think about Dean Jones. Turning ones into twos, twos into threes, and threes into all-run fours, driving the fielding side to distraction and inventing the modern-day approach to batting in limited-overs cricket in the process. That was also the thing about Dean Jones: For all his bravado and sense of good cheer, there was always an element of the tragic hero about him, too. So, this is written in tribute to Dean Mervyn Jones -- cricketer, commentator, and entertainer extraordinaire, and always an endearing, fallible blend of the sublime and the ridiculous.
