Two weeks ago, Phoebe Jones posted a photo of herself as a young girl, patiently waiting at the edge of a cricket pitch as her father returned to the lodge
She looks adoringly in his direction, claps her hands and waits for him to come and hug her.
Jones, who died of cardiac arrest in India overnight, is mourned by the cricket world and regarded as a great artist and advocate of the game
But no one feels his sudden death more keenly than his family – his wife Jane and daughters Isabella and Phoebe
What makes Phoebe’s last message to her father both haunting and incredibly sad are the loving words she attached to the photo.
She posted it on Father’s Day after Jones had just left to travel to the subcontinent to perform his commentary duties for Star Sports
« It’s me waiting for @profdeano to come home and he just left !! Happy Father’s Day to the most dedicated and generous man I know, » Phoebe wrote. « I love you! »

Phoebe’s close relationship with her father is evident in several other articles, including recently when their access to each other was restricted by Victoria’s COVID lockdown

Isabella, who appears to go by Augusta’s last name on social media, also recently expressed her love for her family with a gorgeous photo of the Joneses
“As this weird year 2020 continues, it made me so thankful for the beautiful family I have,” Isabella wrote “This year has shown me how important it is to hold onto the things that really matter – above all »
