So 5 runs per innings then. Which is what I said, and that includes catches which seems pretty subjective as to how many runs that is actually worth. That also again as I said doesn't take into account how many runs an average fielder in that position is worth.

John Crawley vs Jonty Rhodes

Jonty Rhodes was a clutch player just like Hansie Cronje. Whilst they didn't average 40 they both played many crucial knocks in testing conditions.
On the fielding side of things, I would say Jonty's greatest strength was diving and saving runs and great catches even though he got many run-outs.
Some guy was saying it's more like 5 runs saved, I reckon it can easily be 10+ on regular occasion. Considering at the time Donald, De Villiers, Pollock always used to say they bowling well when they making the batsman hit to point and how many singles you stop there in test cricket is obvious due to slip cordon and his reputation won him many runs saved and dismissals. But the obvious one was being at point you either save 4 runs quite often or it goes for 4 if it is hit half decently so that is how runs could be easily escalated by Jonty's fielding.
No disrespect to Crawley but I just seem to remember him failing badly against us.
