Very commendable and he really did not need to do that if he didnt want to!
My Respect for Deano has gone through the roof after this.
Should replace Sethi in the PCB.
He's been regularly visiting Pak. Much respect to him.
Other cricketing legends often visit us too. Like MCGrath, Gibbs etc for tv shows.
Dean Jones love Pakistan cricket more than Sethi.
so what you peoples Think he should do commentary since no other coming
If he is coming for free, i.e. he is not getting paid a hefty amount to come, then he really does care and support Pakistan cricket. However, if he is getting paid a good sum, then it simply means that he has a greater capacity to take risk compared to some of the other players who have refused to come. Some people are risk-takers, some are risk-averse. It is down to an individual's nature.
No need to romanticize it and make claims that he is coming 'in support' of Pakistan cricket because you have an axe to grind. Of course, I'm basing this on the assumption that he is not getting paid any extra sum for going to Lahore.

Haha, nobody travels anywhere on his own expenses.
Did you even read his article, the way he's trying to promote a better image of Pakistan in the media? That was romanticizing indeed.
Do you have any idea why all the others who are also being paid are not bothering to support in the same way or traveling too? Not only the mercenary cricketers but also the commentators?![]()
The others aren't traveling because like I said, they are more risk-averse than him. Saint Jones is not coming to Pakistan out of the goodness of his heart, but because he is prepared to take a risk if the reward is high enough. As for the lip-service and articles are concerned, I don't think it means much.
Nonetheless, people here want to believe that Saint Jones is coming because he really cares about Pakistan cricket, so perhaps I should let them believe what they want to believe. Pakistani fans are insecure and they need support and appreciation from foreign quarters. It is very nice to believe that Saint Jones as well as Saint Viv are coming because they love and support Pakistan cricket.

if someone is coming he's a mercenary and money grabber? and if someone is not coming he's a coward ?
your logic have out grown you
Hahahahahahaha at Saint.
So, why was Dean coming to Pak all these years repeatedly? Because he "likes taking risk"? He's been campaigning for ISLU in many cities too.
"He likes taking risk"?
Or because he's been there several times and knows he can make a difference if he goes there again on a big stage like this? And nothing will happen?

Dean Jones also came to Rawal Pindi and toured Islamabad, just to play a celebrating match in Rawal Pindi.
Islamabad United had a smal celebratory tour in Islamabad, where the Islamabad united team(local players) went to schools and Unis in Islamabad and also visted public places in isloo with the trophy. He also played a match.
Don't think they paid him a hefty amount just to feature in that match, probably has a contract with the United team.
Thus, by going by his history, it could be assumed that Saint Jones has a big heart.
Its wrong to assume that he is after money if you go by his history
I'm aware of all of that. Yes yes, Saint Jones it is. Should be given honorary citizenship.
lool what's ticked you off?

[MENTION=131701]Mamoon[/MENTION] is making himself a complete joke in this thread![]()
Just leave it already. Where has anyone said anything like that? We should be happy that he is coming to watch the final whether or not he is being payed. Maybe he is genuinely interested in Pakistan cricket. Please tell us. How do you want people to react to this news? You are being too condescending and egotistic on this thread. Just enjoy your teams victory and let people be happy that he will come to watch the final instead of bashing them.
Jones looks to really have changed after the Amla incident.
