Cricketweb decides the best fielder ever

[Adders]

Ian Bell

I know you are saying this with the utmost sarcasm, but Ian Bell at short leg is a very good shout in this convo. Really don't know why he doesn't field there anymore as he was pretty ****ing awesome and he's not a slippers arsehole.

 

[TheJediBrah]

I'll give a further nomination to Jayawardene at slip

Ian Harvey was meant to be pretty damn good too wasn't he?

 

[TheJediBrah]

I feel like people are just throwing out nominations of people they reckon are "good" fielders, or "great" fielders rather than who they think is the single best fielder of all time

 

[CricAddict]

Ravindra Jadeja. For once,he is not a joke nomination

 

[CricAddict]

Rhodes
Gibbs
Collingwood
Mccullum
Ponting
Ravi Jadeja
Pollard
Maxwell
Symonds
De Villiers

third Munaf Patel

Interested in seeing who makes the final 4. My tip is Symonds/Ponting/Jonty/ABDV because run outs and dives in the field(for a stop or a catch) from square of the wicket look a lot cooler than regulation slips catches on tv... even if the slipper in question has remarkable hands and never drops 'em (Taylor, Waugh, Hick)

 

[G.I.Joe]

Second Munaf

third Munaf Patel

how embarrassment
