Mark Waugh the best slip fielder (and catcher) off all time IMO. Now THAT was an incredible cordon.
I touched on that in the opening post of this thread.

You had Taylor, the Waugh brothers, Hayden, Warne etc.
I didn't start following cricket until around the 2005 Ashes (they are my earliest memories of cricket) but I have read and watched lots of cricket from before then, so I know how truly great this cordon really was.
