The Final Word Cricket Podcast Deano's World XI stunner: 30 years to the day, with his son Koby
Season 19, Episode 35: It was on this day, 21 March 1996, that Dean Jones stepped out in front of his adoring MCG crowd to play against the Australian team that he was so unlucky not to be picked in for the World Cup. The century that followed, in most challenging of conditions, was a marker of just how good he had been since selectors dropped him. Two true believers who were there that afternoon, Adam Collins and Shannon Gill, are joined by Deano’s teenage son Koby Hamilton-Jones to discuss what the innings meant to the man himself, and to those so invested in his trailblazing career.
