Very sad news.

His 200 in India was an amazingly brave innings.

Never afraid to speak his mind.

sad news and a reminder you never know when your time is up

It's strange how there doesn't appear to be any recognition of his 11yr old son.

How sad for him.

But no one is feeling his sudden death more keenly than his family — wife Jane and daughters Isabella and Phoebe.

RIP Dean Jones

2010 :

AUSTRALIAN cricket star Dean Jones has admitted to fathering a child with a Sydney mistress.

Jones, 49, got on the front foot yesterday, putting an end to the rumours by admitting to the nine-year affair with flight attendant Kerri-Anne Hamilton.

Ms Hamilton, 35, gave birth to a boy, Koby, in August last year.

This comment was in reference to today's news not the 2010 news of his affair.

It would seem from reading around there is no mention of his

son only his daughters in the news articles of today.

My comment was to the actual fact - he did indeed have a son - though some may not have known.

I would say it wasn't mentioned in mainstream news articles out of respect for his wife and daughters.
