Jonty Rhodes is a fucking fast runner.... but then again I suppose as a white South African he has had a lot of practice at having to run away from crazy black people
@Scudeyyy he wasn't always lazy and fat.early in his career he was an average runner but later he developed himself into a fabulous batsmen and the laziest batsmen ever to play cricket.
It's disappointing there is hardly any videos of jonty rhodes' fielding on youtube (or anywhere else on the net?). Just watch him get at the ball.,never seen him do a unnecessary dive too I believe.,you know some dive just for a spectacle. When I was a kid he was such a inspiration I would start begging to just let me field whenever I happen to go join a game late in my neighbourhood.
...jonty can throw down the stumps from 50 metres and he owns that skill. ricky is just a follower. its blasphemous to compare it to jonty, let ricky stick to his batting, no doubt he is an excellent fielder but jonty is on another plane altogether.
whoever said ponting would have the bails of 2 secs earlier, comon mate? its a world cup and this was low percentage risk and guaranteed a run out if executed correctly, required courage to dive across the pitch which has less grass covering and more chances of scraping of your skin, requires quick thinking, innovation, speed, accuracy. this moment was revolutionary in the history of cricket - this was the moment that set the benchmark for fielding. jonty can throw down the stumps from 50 metres
@norths8 ya north u are absolutely right,,,,sehwag got red pepper in his ass when randiv bowls a no ball,,,but nothing happen when sehwag kicks the ball for boundry in test against south africa.and bhaji slaps srisanth ,,,bhaji abuses suman in ipl,,,bhaji abuses symonds,,,zaheer khan creating some troubles with ponting and we indian are BLAMING ozs ,,this is not fair..forget oz,,,just take a look at indians behaviour against any team... and my friends im indian,, ..dont hide tuth by blaming othe
@SuperIbmer with all respect to sir don bradman i think sachin is the best batsmen ever born "the god of bat" ... just look at his records ....... & i'm not a indian or from india
@laktony2 Yeah, look at his record against SA as well. If Ponting/Kallis/Lara/Steve Waugh/Dravid were to debut at 16 like Tendulkar, they'd share or better Tendulkar's records. Also take into consideration the placid pitches Tendulkar has played most of his career on. Cronje dismissed Tendulkar 6 times, Donald had great success against him and Steyn has followed suit.
@laktony2 Bradman scored 29 centuries in 52 matches and aveaged 99.94 in an era of uncovered pitches where batting was significantly harder than it is today, everything today is in the batsmans favour wheras back then it was all in the bowlers favour and yet he still managed to average that, its just incredable
In Bradman's era the lbw law was far more prohibitive than it is now. Ball had to pitch and hit in line.
Bradman's era was actually a very profitable one for batsmen. No question that he's the greatest batting phenomenon in the history of the game, but to say cricket was 'all in the bowlers' favour' in Bradman's time is utter nonsense.
In fact, the black mark on Bradman's career was that he never played a great innings on a 'sticky dog'.
@laktony2 nice joke child.records don't matter.he has played for 20 years it's obvious any batsmen who plays for 20 years in the top order will get those many runs in the ODI's.As for the tests jack and ponting aren't far behind,well ponting may not reach there but jack certainly will.About your ignorant opinion of tendulkar being the god then I would like to introduce you to Dravid,Laxman,Kallis,Mohammad yousuf,Anwar, these guys are technically much better than him and inportantly not selfish.
I might have forgotten a rule but why didn't he just pass the ball to the wicketkeeper instead of running and making that dive? The wicketkeeper was closer to the stumps. He looked a bit of a show-off.
@silasha Take a look where the wicket keeper was. He was back and wouldn't have run to the stumps in time. Throwing the ball at the stumps would have been difficult as he was side on and only had 1 stump to aim at. The only other option would have been to run at them.
I know this isn't particularly relevant to the video, but I can hear pigeons mating outside my window. It's kinda distracting, and I thought I'd share that with you...
@containznutzrule i knw it isnt particularly relevant to da video nor 2 ur comment but i ate cabbage soup with a litre botle of 7up n i can hear myself farting every 2 seconds. kinda distracting but i thougth i'd share that wid u .!
al i was saying if they refferd to tv umpire they give benifit of doubt to batsman so may be he can get away with it, it was almost out, not so clean.
Greatest fielder in the history of the game. People would tune into/attend games just to watch his genius on the field. You can argue who the best bowler/batsman/spinner of our generation was, but int the fielding category, there are no equals to Jonty. Yes there were acrobatic catches by others, but he also saved about 20-30 runs a game and batsmen, out of respect, didnt take a single when the ball was remotely in Jonty's grasp.
err...i guess you've never heard of andrew symonds then?...jonty didnt have the all round fielding or pinpoint throwing that symonds has...id rate allan border ahead of JR also...bullet accurate arm..then there's a guy by the name of viv richards also..
I am not disagreeing with the fact that others had more accurate arms than Jonty. You basically restated the same point of accuracy. Rhodes came about in 1992, a year after Viv Richards retirement and a few years prior to Allan Border's retirement. Dont remember anybody around that time saying, "Oh, he's pulled a Viv Richards/Allan Border". The afformentioned may have set the bar, but Rhodes took it up a notch where as ODI cricket became more popular, stopping runs as he did became a must.
Were there more accomplished fielders in the game who had more accuracy? Sure. Would they have been in their sides almost solely based on fielding, then no. (as Rhodes had a 30's average and was seen as a specialist fielder). This is a personal opinion, but as far as "Wow" factor, Rhodes catches/moments outnumber anyone else, although I never saw him fielding at slips. Backward point fielders will always be compared to him.
the difference was that fielding became a point of difference when border and richards left the game- up to then it was just the odd freak. teams then concentrated on fielding as an attempt to get the edge. jonty had athleticism over viv and border, but couldnt hit the stumps like they did..thats why he's over rated../.everything is amazing years later..he was a little dude and that made his feats appear fast..just like short sprinters..
you are obviously talking out ur ass. from personal experience having watched the guy play through out my child hood loving the game. and i think i wont only talk for my self since cricket is flippen hugh in my family on both sides and allot of my friends live to play the game... if u said whay u said now to any one in this circle they would laugh in ur face then pretend u didnt exist since it is totally stupid. johny was amazing in the field and detrimental with the bat.
i recall many times that people said - he's done a border or "a viv"..and still to this day they talk about those guy's fielding.. they did it regularly for years. jonty had a few freak interceptions and the fan boys go ga ga.
Thats a great way to argue a point... Lets ignore the diving run out, the 20-30 runs saved a game (a segment which was done during some matches on television), the Emirates Airlines advertising depicting an aerial Jonty catching Robert Croft out, every cricket playing nations front page newspaper the day after this play, the fact that Shastri the commentator referred to backward point and that it should be renamed Jonty's corner. We'll ignore all the factual data and go on what you recall. Nice
lol 20 to 30 runs a game by a single fielder. right there you've blown your case- and Mr.Rhodes in fact. Whilst you attack me for not posting "fact", you try to reinforce your argument with "opinion". classic stuff.
im 40. been wathing cricket for about 33 years i reckon. what you are suffering from is hype and subjectivism. dont worry, its common among internet morons. there is no cure. its genetic.
obviously ive wasted my time for 30 years watching cricket..from viv to deano to jonty to border to ponting to symonds...i dont have a clue...jonty was the over rated one. you have to be able to bat as well..im not aware of a player picked for fielding only.
@BigYBootyDaddy0 And to think, he does that with Right Temporal Lobe epilepsy which among other symptoms is known to slow down people's reaction times.
When you said people tune in to games just to watch his fielding, I know you are right. Because I am one of those guys. He is amazing. And I think he added a new dimension to cricket.
@BigYBootyDaddy0 Absolutely, easily the finest fielder ever by quite a distance! Also a man who played the game with the highest integrity, what a player…

i recall many times that people said - he's done a border or "a viv"..and still to this day they talk about those guy's fielding.. they did it regularly for years. jonty had a few freak interceptions and the fan boys go ga ga.

Thats a great way to argue a point... Lets ignore the diving run out, the 20-30 runs saved a game (a segment which was done during some matches on television), the Emirates Airlines advertising depicting an aerial Jonty catching Robert Croft out, every cricket playing nations front page newspaper the day after this play, the fact that Shastri the commentator referred to backward point and that it should be renamed Jonty's corner. We'll ignore all the factual data and go on what you recall. Nice

lol 20 to 30 runs a game by a single fielder. right there you've blown your case- and Mr.Rhodes in fact. Whilst you attack me for not posting "fact", you try to reinforce your argument with "opinion". classic stuff.

obviously ive wasted my time for 30 years watching cricket..from viv to deano to jonty to border to ponting to symonds...i dont have a clue...jonty was the over rated one. you have to be able to bat as well..im not aware of a player picked for fielding only.

@BigYBootyDaddy0 And to think, he does that with Right Temporal Lobe epilepsy which among other symptoms is known to slow down people's reaction times.

When you said people tune in to games just to watch his fielding, I know you are right. Because I am one of those guys. He is amazing. And I think he added a new dimension to cricket.

@BigYBootyDaddy0 Absolutely, easily the finest fielder ever by quite a distance! Also a man who played the game with the highest integrity, what a player…
