Matthew Hayden has taken some pretty awesome slip catches in his time.

So I have a reviewed list of 48 here... Now the following people are those, as others have mentioned, that we should consider.
Clem Hill
KS Duleepsinhji
Grant Flower
Syed Abid Ali
Which of these players do you believe should be in the final list of 48... and also who would you like for him to replace? Btw is there any creative way we could do this, because many people will have different opinions.

We need 6 more...
EDIT: I am persisting with Lara... IMO he's pretty darn good, even at this age. Also, whatever, the average fielders will anyway get knocked out the first round, most likely.

Well Joe Solomon had one of the most famous runouts in history.
You could also potentially add 2 of the best short legs in the pre-helmet era in Brian Close and Tony Lock. Also if you want to reward someone for hard work, Boycott worked his ass of to become a very good fielder from poor beginings. He is often used as the poster child for hard work improving fielding.

^ I'm pretty sure Cairns is in there. There's plenty of good outfielders around the world and I don't see that Lee is clearly better than any of them. Someone like Daryl Tuffey is just as good as Lee - takes all his catches, fields well of his own bowling and has a strong arm.
Anyway, how many slots are there left to fill? Jeremy Coney was a very good slip fielder, if someone like Hayden or Trescothick can get in there's no reason why he can't.

I'm not so sure about "Neil Harvey Fairbrother" or the second inclusion of Matthew Hayden.
How about Hamish Marshall? He's a pretty good fielder, certainly better than someone like Brian Lara. Allan Border wasn't bad either, especially in one dayers.
