Dean Jones told us this great story about playing against the West Indies in their glory days. He was a young man and very nervous but was trying to mask it by putting on a brave front. While he was batting, Desmond Haynes at short leg kept laughing. ‘What are you laughing about?’ Jones asked. ‘You’re scared, aren’t you?’ Haynes said. Jones thought he would be a bit smart and said, ‘Yeah, but don’t tell Joel (Garner).’ To which Haynes responded with more laughter. ‘What now?’ Jones asked. Haynes paused for a moment and replied, ‘He already knows,’ and broke into more peals of laughter.
