Who are the all time best fielders in cricket?

For me it's-

1) Jonty Rhodes
2) Adam Gilchrist
3) Ricky Ponting
4) Gibbs
5) Andrew Symonds

Is Gibbs not good enough to get a first name

Why is Gilchrist at two btw, he was hardly the best keeper ever.

Your missing quite a few out.

Collingwood comes to mind

Gary Pratt

The guy made his name as a fielder alone.

Chris Harris
AB De Villers
Roshan Mahanama

Juging by your top 5, I'd say you're anything but Australian.

How come you guys have ignored Kaif is beyond me.
My Top 5
Jonty Rhodes
H.Gibbs
Collingwood
M.Kaif
A.B.De Villiers

 

[chainsnatcher]

One of the best Indian fielders.But do you think he is better than Mohammad Azharuddin ? I would include him in my list as well....

 

[naresh091]

Kaif was there in the team for a year or two just for his fielding.I would rate him as the best Indian fielder ever.

 

[angryangy]

I remember hearing a lot about Neil Harvey and Colin Bland. Both fielded in the covers and could throw down the stumps like a bullet. Ekki Solkar is widely regarded as the greatest for his close catching especially to India's great spin quartet. Mark Waugh was the best slip fielder in the 90s. Wally Hammond was the first fielder to take 100 catches.
