AA can field quite well.

Ha, but they only attempted that run because of a regulation ball hitting his knee and bouncing off.
Anyway, the worst 'group' of fielders has to be West Indian fast bowlers. Philosophy seemed to be
- Never run when you can walk
- Never bend if the boot can stop the ball
There are at least 8-10 that should be on this list.
Walsh was a shocker but there were many others that have been forgotten.

Rumour has it that Devon Malcolm was actually aiming for the other end.
Very good indeed.

Yeah, Dev often tried to kid batsmen with that one

It was a big generalisation aimed at getting somebody biting.

Just nominate the current Indian side minus Kaif and Y. Singh. Pakistan are pretty atrocious as well, Inzy can catch as can Laxman but there is a couple more facets to fielding then just taking an odd blinder at slip.
Worst England fielder I can think of recently is either Chris Tremlett or Michael Yardy, who couldn't catch the ball and he threw like a girl.

Took one of the best catches of the 2006 summer though

Tendulkar, Dravid and Laxman are all very good in the slips while Anil Kumble and Virender Sehwag are fairly solid ground fielders without being exceptional.

Monty was pretty bad although his catching and general fielding have improved. His arm is still crap tho.
Glenn McGrath isnt particularly good either.

Imran Farhat. Can't believe no ones mentioned him...

He is an excellent fielder, very strong arm, quick across the outfield, safe pair of hands and throws himself around when he needs to. He had a horror run in the 2005 Ashes but apart from that he's been very good.

harsh on Monty imo, he's been solid this Australia summer, and was easily better than Harmison & Hoggard imo. Who was is that said McGrath? he's no Brett Lee in the outfield, but he's hardly a slouch, can Catch a ball (see Aust. vs. Eng Adelaide 2002/2003) and has a brilliant arm.
Stuey Macgill deserves a nomination though
