Stephen Alexander "Steve" Jones (born 1 July 1949) is a former Australian cricketer who played a single first-class match for Western Australia during the 1975–76 season.
Jones was born in Sydney, New South Wales.[1] His only match at state level came against the West Indies during their 1975–76 tour of Australia.[2] The tour match was played at the WACA Ground in December 1975, in between the first and second Test matches of the series.[3] Jones, a right-arm fast bowler, batted tenth in Western Australia's first innings, and scored 36 runs out of a 47-run partnership for the ninth wicket with Ian Brayshaw (100*). In the West Indians' first innings, he opened the bowling with Mick Malone. He had opener Gordon Greenidge caught by Ross Edwards for three runs, finishing with innings figures of 1/88 from eleven eight-ball overs.[4] He did not take a wicket in the West Indians' second innings, finishing with a career bowling average of 108.00.[5] Jones' inability to break into the state Sheffield Shield team was largely due to the strength of its fast-bowling attack at the time, which included Terry Alderman, Wayne Clark, Dennis Lillee, and Malone (all of whom played international matches during their careers).[6] He later played matches for the North Melbourne Cricket Club in the Victorian Premier Cricket competition, as well as a season for Selkirk in the Border League.[7]
