Simon Jones Biography

Simon Jones is one of the most popular and richest Cricketer who was born on December 25, 1978 in Morriston, Wales, United Kingdom.

A tall (6 ft 3 in (1.91 m)) right-arm fast-medium bowler and left-handed tail- end batsman, Jones, whose father, Jeffrey, had played for England and Glamorgan, made his county cricket debut for Glamorgan against Derbyshire at Sophia Gardens, Cardiff, on 22 August 1998.

Jones, though, is happy with those odds. He has beaten worse predictions before after being given a 70% chance of recovering from his horrific cruciate ligament injury at Brisbane in 2002. “I’ll always back myself,” he said. “I know if I can bowl at the top of my game I can get in that side.”
