Not since the summer of 2005 have Glamorgan had one of their own represent England. When Simon Jones tore through Australia's middle-order during the third Ashes Test, those captivated by the summer's cricket would have quickly dismissed the idea of it being one of his final outings in England whites. The Swansea-born fast-bowler was an integral part of England's Ashes victory, taking 18 wickets at an average of 21, but it wasn't to last. During the fourth Test of the series, Jones suffered an ankle injury that ruled him out of the rest of the series. A succession of injuries followed, preventing a flickering international career from truly taking off.
