Harvey, Weekes, Miller, Sobers, Lindwall and Benaud all very good fielders.

Bradman was also an excellent fielder. I'll throw in some names that haven't been mentioned so far, Gilbert Jessop and Jack Gregory. Both were hard hitting strokeplayers, especially Jessop and are owners of the two fastest (in terms of time) test centuries. Both were also very useful bowlers, though Jessop never really shone at an international level, and Gregory only had a few good series. Jessop was also excellent at cover "the undisputed master of that position), and Gregory a fine slipper, having been compared to Wally Hammond.
Both would be very exciting and useful ODI players, if they'd had the chance.
