Who are your favourite fielders?

Jeetan Patel is proving himself to be a pretty decent fielder for NZ. He's taken some pretty useful catches at point over the last couple of years; which is unusual for a bowler I'd say. Think how unco some spinners have been over the years - Tufnell and Such in particular.

Exactly who I was going to say my favourite fielder was. I like Jeetan's enthusiasm in the field as well as his fielding ability.

Love watching Symonds in the field. He misses absolutely nothing and has a ridiculously strong arm. Herschelle Gibbs was another, seemed to hit the stumps from backward point with every shy.

Clive Lloyd in his pomp was a superb cover fielder no doubt the more memorable because of the relatively poor standard of fielding generally in his time

On a different tack Mark Ealham's dad, Alan, not the most mobile of fielders, but he had an extraordinarily fast and accurate throw from the outfield

Neil McKenzie. Clearly didn't want to deprive the public of a Ponting masterclass. :ph34r:

Most of the better ones named, but Fred's slip catching is right up there and, as fast bowlers go, Jimmy A's fielding is superlative.

Colly too. Best fielder in the England team.

As a former quick, the fielders I always valued the most were slips.

Im not overly interested in athletic out fielding or cover fielding. Thats not where I needed quality. The most important and special fielder to me is the quality slipper.

Personaly I liked Hick at slip and Collingwood at gully or point.

I like de Villiers as he is one of the few fielders prepared to dive forward in the slips. So many times we hear ' oh the ball has just dropped short'.

Collingwood used to be an excellent fielder in ODIs but since he started playing Tests his fielding is not up to his usual standards.

Surprised Dwayne Bravo hasn't got a mention, brilliant in the field; quick athletic, and agile. I remember him taking one of the best caught and bowled catches i have ever seen.

Amongst outfielders, Agarkar is a pretty underrated outfielder. Deceptively quick and has taken a couple of amazing catches in the outfield; a couple of direct hits from the outfield were pretty spectacular.
Other than him, the usual suspects, Waugh, Ponting, Symonds, Jonty etc.
