Dean Jones dies, aged 59.

Former Australia fast bowler Brett Lee returned to the television screen in India only hours after trying to save Dean Jones' life in their Mumbai hotel, describing the iconic batsman and character of the game as "an absolute legend". Despite the traumatic episode, Lee bravely fronted up on Star's pre-game coverage of the IPL on Thursday night just hours after Jones had passed away. The former Australian batsman died of a massive heart attack. He was 59. Born in Melbourne, Dean Jones played 52 Test matches scoring 3631 runs at an average of 46.55. With a 216 as his best score, Jones scored 11 centuries and was an important member of Allan Border's team.
