England's Ashes 2005 winning team: Where are they now?

Geraint Jones

Jones’ catch in the Edgbaston Test was one of the most memorable in cricket history

Born in Papua New Guinea and having learned his cricket in Australia, Geraint Jones' selection to the Test team ahead of Chris Read was widely debated in 2005. But Jones proved all his doubters wrong by providing the most endearing moment of the series as he dived to his left and caught Michael Kasprowicz to seal a two-run win in Edgbaston that changed the fate of the series.

On the back of that catch, England went from 0-1 down to being level and courtesy of their victory at Trent Bridge where Jones scored a crucial 85 in partnership with Andrew Flintoff, they took a 2-1 lead which they clung on to win one of the most memorable Test series in recent memory.

Although Jones never played for England since 2006, he called time on his international career after representing Papua New Guinea in 2014. He played for Gloucestershire in the 2015 season and even recently appeared in the Masters Champions League which took place in the UAE for the Capricorn Commanders. A fully trained pharmacy technician, Jones took over as a cricket professional at Brentwood School in Essex.
