'Speechless with the tragic news of the passing of my great mate and beloved cricketing man'
'India's strength is batting and it is under attack right now. It is time to stand up and be counted.'
Dean Jones, who was doing commentary for the ongoing IPL for official broadcasters Star Sports, suffered a massive heart attack in Mumbai.
Jones, known affectionately as 'Deano' by the global cricket community, played 52 Tests and 164 ODIs.
Sachin Tendulkar has no doubts in his mind that Dean Jones would have been one of the "most sought after batsmen" if he were to be part of the T20 generation and called him a player well ahead of his time.
Former Australia captain Allan Border says Dean Jones's comment on Hashim Amla does not portray his true character.
'It's just our personalities and character as South Africans, even though we're the underdogs, we always come back fighting.'
Captain Harmanpreet Kaur says her team committed "no crime" after completing a first-ever whitewash in women's ODIs on English soil with a legal yet debatable run-out.
Champion jockey Tony McCoy was trying to persuade a horse called Deano's Beeno to start with the others.
Many netizens started to feel that both of them engaged in a heated argument, but later Jones and Patel clarified that all is going on in good spirits.
'We are at this stage where we have lost almost all of our experience'
'As a player, the biggest question you ask yourself is whether you are good enough to be on the same ground as Gavaskar, Dev, Border and company.'
'I love commentating for a reason that not many will admit.' 'Yes, it gives me financial security; yes, it lets me stay in touch with the game; but importantly, it gives me visibility.' 'In a way, commentary ensures that people don't forget you.'
