Awarded a Test cap 50 years after his only England appearance, he played against The Rest of the World in the Lords test of the series that took the place of the intended series against the ostracised South Africans. The series was late deemed not to be ‘full tests’ by the MCC so no cap for Jones. They’ve changed their stance now and Glamorgan’s 81 year old prolific batsman has finally received official recognition. What a Glamorgan stalwart he was, reliable opener for years, scored over 1000 runs every season from ‘61-‘83, tremendous achievement and a hero of my youth. Congratulations Alan (you Jack bastard).
