Rhodes vs Marshall

Natman20 · 13-09-2005, 09:32 PM

Jonty Rhodes (SAF) vs. Hamish Marshall (NZ)
I think they are quite similar.

shaka · 13-09-2005, 09:40 PM

Rhodes created the backward point as the pivotal position and made it his own. Marshall learned from Rhodes style

Sanz · 13-09-2005, 09:43 PM

But is Marshall as good as Jonty, can anyone be as good as Jonty ?

Mr Mxyzptlk · 13-09-2005, 09:46 PM

Jonty Rhodes was untouchable. Far and away the finest fielder of the 90s. I think Marshall can only dream of being in the league of Jonty Rhodes, as good as he is.

Jonty

I can see Marshall ending his career as a better batsman than Rhodes but he is no way near as good a fielder as Jonty was.

Jonty was the best fielder of our generation, and a rather underrated batsman. I don't think he ever lived up to his own potential as a batsman though. He was perhaps the finest player of spin in that SA side.

jonty, just watching him in the fica world xi series v the black caps he was every where and what i remember of him playing he is definitely better than marshall. although marshall has many years still in him

Jonty is without doubt the finest fielder I have ever seen. Marshall is quick and lively as well, but just doesn't stop them as consistently as Jonty did. He also has a bit of a tendency to drop sitters/regulation catches.

Jonty Rhodes, the best fielder i've personally ever seen

steds · 14-09-2005, 06:49 AM

I'm disappointed. Thought this was going to be Simon Marshall

Shoaib · 14-09-2005, 07:40 AM

Marshall can never be a better fielder than Rhodes even if he practices & plays cricket for 100 years.

Langeveldt · 14-09-2005, 11:17 AM

Warwickshire fans here might think a certain Trevor Penney is in Jonty league, Penney is definitely quicker between the wickets.. also a fellow named Colin Bland..

Apart from that, he is without equal..

Isolator · 14-09-2005, 11:36 AM

I thought Penney is about 38 years old... or are you being sarcastic?

He wasn't always 38 though.
