Wisden Obituary

Jones, Gavin William, died in Benoni on July 17, 2002, aged 47. His all-round contribution in his first two seasons played a significant part in Northern Transvaal heading the Castle Bowl table in 1977-78 and 1978-79, which resulted in promotion to the Currie Cup elite. It was a big jump, not only for Northerns, who finished last without a win, but also for Jones, who dropped out of first-class cricket for two seasons until Northern Transvaal entered a "B" side in the Bowl in 1982-83. That gave him three more summers. In 22 first-class games he scored 856 runs at 26.75 and took 30 wickets at 40.36 with his medium-fast bowling. His best figures were against Griqualand West in 1978-79: 67 at Kimberley and 5 for 78 at Pretoria.
