Season 19, Episode 35: It was on this day, 21 March 1996, that the great Dean Jones stepped out in front of his adoring MCG crowd to play against the Australian team he was so desperately unlucky not to be at the World Cup. The century that followed, in most challenging of conditions, was a marker of just how good he been since selectors parted ways with the controversial talisman. To mark the 30th anniversary of the knock, two true believers 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 those who were so invested in his trailblazing career.
