00:00Back in the late 1980s and 1990s, Andrew Jones was one of the most reliable basemen for New

00:07Zealand.

00:08Calm under pressure and solid in technique, Andrew Jones was known for steadying the innings

00:12when the team needed it most.

00:15One such knock came on March 11, 1989 in the third ODI against Pakistan at Auckland.

00:21Andrew Jones played a crucial inning, scoring a quick-fire 82 runs of 93 balls in 153 minutes,

00:28smashing four boundaries.

00:29This solid effort helped New Zealand reach a respectable total of 249 runs.

00:34Despite Andrew Jones' brilliant knock, Pakistan chased down the target comfortably, winning

00:39the match by seven wickets.

00:41But make no mistake, Andrew Jones' innings came at a tough time when the team needed someone

00:46to stand tall and anchor the innings.

00:49So let's turn back the clock and relive those classic moments, the grit, the fight and the

00:54pure love of cricket from a golden era.

00:57Andrew Jones.

00:58It hit low.

00:59That out says Roger McCoy.

01:00It stayed down a bit on Andrew Jones.

01:01Look at it.

01:02Yes, it would have hit, I think.

01:03The pitch outside next time.

01:04At least that was my impression.

01:05Another one kicked a bit low.

01:06Not up.

01:07Still dropping a count.

01:08Ended the second over.

01:09Still no runs on the board.

01:10Still no runs on the board.

01:11And so Jones is under one.

01:12And so Jones is under one.

01:13And so Jones is under one.

01:14Yes, it would have hit, I think.

01:15The pitch outside next time.

01:16At least that was my impression.

01:18And so Jones is under one.

01:19Now I'll tell you what, they wouldn't have taken that run in a test match.

01:20And I think if Ejaz had picked that run up again, it would have hit.

01:21And so Jones is under one.

01:22And so Jones is under one.

01:23Now I'll tell you what, they wouldn't have taken that run in a test match.

01:27And I think if Ejaz had picked that run up again, it might, and Jones might have been a bit of trouble.

01:40It looked to me as though Jones, he's not used to going first.

01:44And even if Ejaz had picked that run up again, it might, and Jones might have been a bit of trouble.

01:53It looked to me as though Jones, he's not used to going first.

01:56And he's a little bit nervous about getting off the mark.

02:03It's quite a remarkable run in the one-day matches this season.

02:05Here he is taking that short single.

02:10And once again, miss fielding.

02:12And the run easily completed.

02:16Beautiful shot.

02:19Shard will overhaul this.

02:23And three runs there to Andre Jones.

02:31This is the trophy.

02:32The Rothman's Cup.

02:33He's in a door to two up in the series.

02:35A bit of elbow grease.

02:36Someone polluting it last night.

02:37It's a pretty sparkly, doesn't it?

02:38He never really enjoys cleaning silver.

02:42It's a little bit of messy business, isn't it?

02:44Nice blowing drive.

02:45Chelsea plays the chase.

02:46And now Jones starting to move into his stride.

02:47A little bit slow to get started today.

02:48A little Lionel Richie there.

02:49Tremendous form this morning, isn't he, Tassie?

02:50He's got a very good arm.

02:51We've seen the team throw in once or twice from third man.

02:52And then it's gone whizz straight in over the bales.

02:53A little bit of spin there and see how Abdul Kadir gets on with the wrist spin.

02:54Not a great line by Tassie.

02:55He's the main.

02:56Nice.

02:57He's got a great line by Tassie.

03:00A little bit of a lead of變чи.

03:01And he's going to have the bronze and run for two, minus one.

03:03And now Jones starting to move into his stride.

03:04A little bit slow to get started today.

03:05A little Lionel Richie there.

03:06Tremendous form this morning, isn't he, Tassie?

03:08He's got a very good arm.

03:09We've seen the team throw in once or twice from third man.

03:11And then it's gone whizz straight in over the bales.

03:18on with the wristband what a great line ball by Tessie he's a man down supposedly to save the

03:27boundary at fine legs he's caught on that occasion Steve John figures for Madasa not that opportunity

03:33the four runs to Andrew Jones and he goes to 20 63 without luck

03:39this useful shot here by Andrew Jones just flicking it away down the

03:42lakeside there and Madasa well he's missed that

03:56and the symbol there for Andrew Jones he's now 32 just the one boundary so far from Jones

04:01Jones keys off here that's a good shot four runs

04:12and there we have a good example of the ball drifting down lead side and even though they

04:16had a pick up man he was in front of square and Jones knew that if it was drifting far enough down

04:20he could follow through with a shot and hit it behind square which he did and went for four just

04:25drifting down outside the line of his pads there following it round and the ball traveling behind

04:30square to that vacant area

04:42all that's not the case this time

04:48four more

04:49and what a beautifully timed shot that was here to the over 115 for one

05:03over the top goes Andrew Jones that's four runs and that's 50

05:07a fifth consecutive one day 50 for Andrew Jones as he over comes to an end at 122 for one

05:45there he really uh played it into the gap and um

05:51well this is in the air but it's powerfully hit and there was a man in close but he never had a chance

06:02and he swept away by Andrew Jones four more

06:17well i think that was slugger rule time really but he's in form he's confident enough and that

06:22richard colored ball keeps coming on for going in fact a few moments ago there's a lot of losing

06:26you think midfield dancer was unable to pick up even that off the outside he dropped it's so funny

06:32swung away again and he might get four more he has by sifting the two fieldsmen out there i don't

06:40think they could believe it sweeping it very square there's two men out there

06:51oh it's straight up in the air it goes underneath it no the keepers as he's gone a bit of confusion for
