Wisden CricInfo staff14-Jun-2003Simon Jones suggested he could be back playing cricket in two months time as his recovery from a horrific knee injury continues to make good progress.He had a major operation to rebuild his knee in February after he tore the ligaments in the joint during that sickening tumble in Brisbane on the opening day of the 2002-03 Ashes series.Talking in Cardiff after a brief bowl in the nets with his leg heavily-strapped, Jones said: “Things are going well and I’m happy.”Reflecting on the injury, he said: “It was an absolute nightmare but it’s all in the past and I am looking to the future. I’ve had a chat with the physio and the medical staff around here and maybe I could play again at the end of August.”However, after such a serious operation, an August return might be pushing it a bit, and Jones did sensibly offer a note of caution: “If I’m not right I won’t play, but I’ll be looking to go to Australia for the winter.”
