Jeff Jones (cricketer, born 1941)

Jeff Jones, Welsh-English cricketer
Jeff Jones (born Ivor Jeffrey Jones, 10 December 1941) is a Welsh former cricketer, who took forty-four wickets in fifteen Test matches for the England cricket team between 1964 and 1968.

Cricket writer, Colin Bateman remarked, "South Wales is hardly renowned for fast bowlers but in 1960 a powerfully built left-armer joined the Glamorgan staff and caused undiluted excitement. Unassuming and popular, Jeff Jones introduced a destructive force into Glamorgan's cricket it had never seen before".
