  Jeff Dujon - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Peter Jeffrey Leroy (Jeff) Dujon (born May 28, 1956 in Kingston, Jamaica) was a West Indian cricketer.
He was the wicketkeeper for the West Indian cricket team of the 1980s, an athletic presence behind the stumps as well as a competent lower-order batsman.
Born in Kingston, Dujon made his first-class debut in 1974, going on to play 200 first-class matches for Jamaica and the West Indies in a career that lasted nineteen years.

 Jamaica Gleaner - Don't get too hyped, says Dujon - Monday | July 28, 2003
FORMER WEST Indies wicketkeeper/batsman Jeff Dujon said there is evidence that West Indies cricket is improving but may be too premature to conclude that the regional team has returned to the "glory days".
Dujon, a West Indies Cricket Board (WICB) coach, said the recent performances by the West Indies team have rekindled hopes of a full revival.
Dujon and Kenny Benjamin, another WICB coach and former fastbowler, began a specialist camp on Thursday for young cricketers in the Windward Islands in preparation for the West Indies Under-19 Tournament in Guyana next month.

 Dhoni can be an all-rounder: Dujon
Mahendra Singh Dhoni's fast growing list of fans now includes the name of former West Indian great Jeff Dujon, who believes the dashing Indian wicketkeeper-batsman had what it takes to be an all-rounder.
Dhoni, who was recently placed atop the official ICC one-day batsmen rankings, has been impressing fans and cricket fraternity alike since his debut in 2004.
Dujon said India was among the the three best teams in the world which made it one of the favourites for the World Cup to be held in the Caribbean next year.

 Sachin not as confident as before: Dujon - Sify.com
Bangalore: Former West Indies wicket-keeper Jeff Dujon believes Sachin Tendulkar is not as confident as before, with the break from cricket after tennis elbow surgery affecting his performance, and he needs to play more matches to regain his past glory.
But Dujon hastened to add that these things change, and pointed out that Brian Lara appeared not to be in good touch before the Australian series but went on to hit a double century and become the greatest run-scorer of all time.
Dujon expressed the view that so long as Dhoni averages at least 30 runs, he will not get dropped.

Jeff Dujon was one of those players selectors pray for - a top class wicket-keeper who is also a specialist batsman.
Dujon's runs for West Indies were often made after the dashing top-order batsmen had for once charged into oblivion, whereupon he and Gus Logie would set about rebuilding the innings.
He scored 110 against India in the Antigua Test of 1982-83, 130 against Australia at Port of Spain in 1983-84, 101 against England at Old Trafford in 1984, 139 at Perth in 1984-85, and 106 not out against Pakistan in 1987-88.

FOR Jeff Dujon, keeping wickets to the likes of Michael Holding, Andy Roberts, Joel Garner and Malcolm Marshall was an easy task, compared to the new assignment of putting West Indies cricket back in shape.

 Cricinfo - Players and Officials - Jeff Dujon
Jeff Dujon was the gymnastic hub of those all-conquering Windies sides, a man who never participated in a losing series and whose tally of victims has been exceeded only by Ian Healy and Rod Marsh.
If his keeping was never adequately tested against spin bowling (just five of his 270 victims were stumped) then there was scant opportunity.

 WI need to develop wicketkeepers, says Dujon - JAMAICAOBSERVER.COM
Dujon, who celebrated his 49th birthday on Saturday and whose 272 victims (267 catches/5 stumpings) in 81 Tests are the most by a West Indies wicketkeeper, pointed to the fact that keeping wicket was a special area which called for a lot of discipline.
Jamaican Dujon was assistant coach of the West Indies team for the home series against Zimbabwe and Pakistan in 2000 before he was surprisingly relieved of the job.
Speaking against the background of continuous debate over the recall of veteran Barbadian Courtney Browne to the side since last September, in preference to a younger player after the then injured Ridley Jacobs was eventually discarded and retired, Dujon reckoned that Browne was "still the best" in the region.
