Great fielders in each fielding position

[uvelocity]

The only slip you know about is slipping on a banana peel tbf

uvelocity's favourite slip

 

[doesitmatter]

Eknath Solcar best at short leg bar none....Kapil Dev best outfielder had a gun throw ...Rahul Dravid one of the best slip fielder..Where is Colin Bland, Derek Randall ?

 

[doesitmatter]

Roger Harper anywhere, Collingwood MBE at gully, Inzi might have been a donkey but had a gun left arm from outfield, Stephen Fleming at slips, Jimmy Anderson better close-up fielder for a bowler

Harper yes and Collingwood yes, but there is NO WAY you'd mention Inzi in a thread on great fielders.

Take out Border and put Boony into a bat pad.

That catch of Azhar 1992 some catch..by the way i remember reading that Border is supposed to have introduced Boon to the SL position by saying "I cannot hide you anywhere"..Gus Logie,Akash Chopra were awesome as well

Geoff Marsh in the gully was superior to Steve Waugh.

I rate Steve Smith as a fielder very highly, but still way too early to give him a spot.

Yes Marsh was excellent in the gully, and Collingwood was ATG everywhere, especially at backward point/gully.

Graeme Hick was an excellent slipper

Mark Ramprakash and David Gower in the covers

A generation before I was also fascinated by Kent's Alan Ealham - didn't look much like as athlete but was very mobile in the outfield and had the most consistently accurate and flat throw from the deep that I have ever seen

With 3 slips put your worst at second? (not best hands nor most athletic?)

Well not necessarily because more catches will be coming through second than third and the priority always has to be holding the catches you can get a hand on.

 

[kyear2]

Richardson was the best 3rd slip I have ever seen, best today is A.B. De villiers.

 

[kyear2]

I think that the most catches go to second slip regardless, as most keepers have license to gor for most borderline catches btwn him and first.

Justifiably. Most overrated fielder in history of cricket.

Rana Naved. Anywhere.

Loved Trevor Penney. Electric in the field.
