No I don't think you can put all those ahead of him, you've obviously never even seen Hussain field have you? And to say the Waughs are better fielders, yes Mark Waugh is a great fielder but he no longer plays international cricket and I've never seen Steve Waugh do anything out of the ordinary sorry. He probably has but I've never seen it.age_master said:
Well to be fair there have been some poor fielders I've seen, the entire 2000 West Indians come to mind. Australia are no different, when they were over here and while Mark Waugh, Ricky Ponting and Shane Warne were showing off in the field there were definate weak links in Martyn, Harvey and even Steve Waugh. Now I've seen Harvey field brilliantly for Gloustershire but I haven't seen much of Martyn. Just because a team is a great team doesn't mean they have no weak links in the field...vishnureddy said:

Yes, they didn't field very well on that tour, but that doesn't make them all poor fielders. Jimmy Adams is a very good fielder and Gayle went for a year and a half without dropping a catch in Test cricket. Sarwan isn't half bad and Lara has a very safe pair of hands. Also, Hinds took a couple of blinders at short leg.
Yeah we were appauling then I must admit. I can remember the Aussies dropping loads last Ashes series though, but hell everyone's human. The WIndies were appauling in 2000 in England though, apart from one good running catch by Hinds they managed to drop 8 catches in one ODI...Mr Mxyzptlk said:Well, I would have to respond saying the entire 2001 England Ashes Team.

No, since we are comparing FIELDERS why don't we compare them on their FIELDING instead?age_master said:yeah but you wont see hussain fielding on the boundary will you, if he did im sure you wouldn't see hm do anything like mcgrath or gillespie or bevan
and i would really like to see hussain at short leg where boof usually fields as well
hauritz is a pretty good fielder as is brackan and noffke, kaspa aint great and im not sure about the rest
BUT hussain is a batsman, compare him with batsmen for a more even analysis
Well Hauritz is a better ground fielder but given he's 10 years younger, well he'd want to be, yes?
As for catching, well Hussain has to take this one on performance alone. Potentially, Hauritz is one of the best fielders in the world but he'll obviously have to prove himself like Hussain had to.
IIRC he has done that before, and taken some reasonable catches (Didn't he move in at backward short leg against Pakistan and take a catch first ball?)age_master said:yeah but you wont see hussain fielding on the boundary will you, if he did im sure you wouldn't see hm do anything like mcgrath or gillespie or bevan
