best test slip fielders of all time

[xan_pro]

who is the best catcher at slips

 

[Swervy]

tone of good ones....Botham might have been one of the very best

 

[dro87]

mark waugh?

 

[Kweek]

yeah Flintoff is pretty good..not close to best in the world, but ive seen him take some miracles catches in the slips and ofcourse there is me jk

 

[a massive zebra]

The best three are probably Bobby Simpson, Walter Hammond and Mark Waugh. Not necessarily in that order.

 

[BoyBrumby]

I'm certain we did this fairly recently, but anyway Junior Waugh was the best I ever saw. Graeme Hick top notch too, huge old mitts he has.

Beefy very good too, although I missed his absolute peak. His back probs affected him in his later career.

Of current players....Hmm....Freddie?

 

[Kweek]

good atleast someone agrees with me haha

yeh in the present day flintoff is pretty damn good, there was one against the west indies when giles was bowling in one of the tests last year that stands out in my mind, although there indeed have been many other outstanding catches by fred

 

[Kweek]

i rembered the damn same
and more ofcourse

I read that "when Bobby Simpson had to dive, you can bet your bottom dollar no one else would have seen it".

Impossible for the first 2 to be rated so highly, they played far too early in the centruy to have been challenged.

 

[neutralguy]

mark waugh was good. Shane warne also seems to be doing a good job.

 

[The Maestro]

Mark Waugh is the best Ive seen, no doubt

Shane Warne? I think Fleming is better than him

That drop thnat Warne did in the recent series vs NZ was a crack up, he ran all the way up to the bowler (Kaspa?) to give him a tip on how to bowl then ran back and dumped a simple chance ha ha ha ha ha ha

 

[chaminda_00]

If scorer kept a record of dropped catches we would have more of an idea who really is the best. From the guys i have seen Mark Waugh, Taylor and Brain McMillian were the best.

One current players Freddie, Warne and Fleming are pretty even, they all take some good ones and drop some easier ones.

 

[neutralguy]

Kallis and roshan mahanama will also make the cut.

to pick a best is nigh impossible in this category..
but the ones who(off the top of my head) deserve mention are:

Mark Taylor, Mark Waugh, Shane Warne, Carl Hooper, Gary Sobers, Greg Chappell, Ian Botham, Viv Richards, Mohammed Azharuddin, Roshan Mahanama, Bob Simpson, Colin Cowdrey and Shane Warne.

So is that Shane Warne1 not on drugs and Shane Warne2 on drugs LOL

They seem about right, most Sri Lankan don't realise how good Mahanama was during his career, they only noticed when you Jayawardene and other drop sitters in the slips . Man it would be good to have him back, even just as a fielder .

whoops!

 

[Slats4ever]

probably Mark Waugh and Mark Taylor...
