An elegant batsman who evokes memories of the young Azharuddin, Mohammad Kaif comes from the cricketing backwater of Uttar Pradesh. He first came to prominence with his performances for India's Under-19s: he captained the side, which also included Yuvraj Singh, Ajay Ratra and Reetinder Sodhi, that won the Youth World Cup of 2000. Kaif's assured strokeplay, and composure that belied his age, earned him a Test cap against South Africa when he was only 20. Though the selectors subsequently discarded him, stints at the Australian Cricket Academy and its Indian equivalent in Bangalore helped to iron out some of the kinks in his technique. Recalled to the one-day side during the 2001-2002 home season, he made an impact with some steady and purposeful batting. But it was during the 2002 NatWest series in England that he truly hit the high notes, culminating in a magnificent unbeaten 87 as India successfully chased 326 for victory in the final. A superb century followed - against Zimbabwe in the ICC Champions Trophy - but he struggled at times to kick on after that, having a fairly quiet World Cup. His first experience of the county circuit was also a mixed bag, some typically dynamic efforts interspersed by a string of low scores. Kaif's exceptional fielding at cover often overshadowed his poor scores with the bat - including a horror run in 2005-06 - but even that hasn't been enough to win him a permanent place in the Test side

Generously gifted, Yuvraj Singh is looked upon as a strong, fearless natural destined for great things. Two months short of his 19th birthday, he made an almost messianic entry into international cricket, toppling Australia in the Nairobi Mini-World Cup in 2000-01, with a blistering 84 and some scintillating fielding. In time he was to supplement these skills with clever, loopy left-arm spin. While Yuvraj's ability to hit the ball long and clean were instantly recognised, he was soon found to be troubled by quality spin and perceived to lack commitment, traits for which he temporarily lost his place in the one-day side. But on returning, for the last two one-dayers against Zimbabwe in early 2002, he swung the series India's way with a matchwinning innings in each game, and then went to England and played a key role in three Indian chases in their dream run in the NatWest tri-series. It took 15 months more, and an injury to his captain, Sourav Ganguly, for Yuvraj to get a Test look-in. On the third such opportunity, against Pakistan on the first day on a greentop at Lahore, he stroked a stunning century off 110 balls. The 2005-06 season proved to be a watershed for Yuvraj, with 1161 runs at 58 in the one-dayers, as he transformed himself into one of the keystones in India's batting line-up. He was soon preferred over VVS Laxman in Tests when India went in with five batsmen, but a lean series in the West Indies meant that he was still struggling to match potential with performance.
I disagree with PUNTER
I go with Andrew Symonds
M I C H A E L H U S S E Y
Though no one can touch the standards set by Jonty but in the recent past Australia's Ricky Ponting has gone very close to that. He is tremendous fielder and has a great pair of hands.
yes it is mohmad kaif from india
GIBBS (south africa)
Herschelle Gibbs
ponting or symonds or ab de villers or mark waugh
My picks for various reasons. and I admit they're all from Australia, but I think that comes down to the emphasis the Aussies put on their fielding during training.
Ponting - Does everything very quickly and precisely, often hitting the stumps in a run-out situation and from a difficult throwing position. His expeience also gives him the added bonus of being able to anticipate where the ball is going to go.
Symonds - Similar reasons to Ponting, but has not been doing it for quite so long (or as consistantly), but has the added advantage of being big, strong and quick enabling him to field in the outfield with a strong, flat throw to the keeper or having that extra bit of reach in a catch or run-saving position.
Mark Waugh - Quite simply, Mark Waugh made it look sooo easy. Like Rhodes, Waugh made it look like anyone could do it. Often called "graceful" he could move very swiftly and be well balanced to put himself in the best position for a throw at the stumps.
I'd say ricky ponting, andrew symonds or paul collingwood
Rhodes used to stand out,but till then there are allot of people who stand out,but there equally the same.I say Kiaf,and Gibbs are the best,and I've never seen ponting take a blinder of a catch!
sir Gary Sobers or Paul Collingwood
its a tough one buddy. There are soo many good fielders now. and most of them are better than Jonty!
Mr.Mark Waugh of Australia in Test Cricket with the record of
181 catches from 128 Test Matches.
Mohammad Azaruddin of India in one day international with the record of 156 catches from 334 One day Internationals.
RICKY PONTING
symonds
Ashwell Prince.
Derek Randall
Graham Barlow ex Derby was an excellent out fielder.
Trevor Penney, formally of Warwickshire and now fielding coach for Sri Lanka.
Penney worked with the England team for the 2005 Ashes campaign as a fielding coach and was used as a substitute fielder - not bad for a 37 year old!
Yuvraj Singh-India
Jay, you are the only true cricket fan! how could we overlook the greatest allrounder to ever play the game - Sir Garfield "Gary" Sobers.
For his time I'd have to go with Derek Randall.
