@mohammadzafar There's various aspects to fielding that one fielder might specialize at. I might be going out on a limb but Paul Collingwood is one of the best catchers currently in cricket not sure how good his other skills are but he's pulled off quite a few outstanding catches. I would say there's no one who is as good all round as jonty was
@mohammadzafar If Jonty was a 10/10 then AB De Villiers is a 9/10 and I'll agree with Huggieg that Collingwood has been a consistently good fielder throughout his career and funny enough he and Jonty are similar in their physique so he would also be a 9/10. But still nobody these days stops singles by reputation alone like the master Jonty did, its was as much about the fielding he didnt have to do as it was the fielding he DID do.
@goonerfromjhb A lot of New Zealand fielders are up there too, Martin Guptill and the McCullums, New Zealand is deffo the best fielding side in the world, Shahid Afridi is pretty good too but there will never be another Jonty.
Without a doubt the best fielder ever....I was in high school and saw this match with special permission from mom due to finals at school and I am glad I did.
bloody hell .. what these guys are made of? I mean he slams himself onto the ground hitting the bails and then immediately gets up with not even a minor limp ... as if he had been running all along.
yea thats reall gr8 decision even watching at a slow motion its hard for me to decide .... Amazing Jonty hes the person who brought the importance of Fielding!
This is one of the most iconic instance in cricket. I remember that there was a jonty's big poster (a little smaller than life size) where he is in full flight with ball in his hand.
bloody hell, amazing run out, but think how quickly he'd have had to think about what to do there? any hesitation at all and the batsman would have made it back, amazing
Its a very good run out, hands down. There is a huge probability 2 miss the stumps wen thrown at from point. wot he did was excellent. hats off 2 the greatest fielder of all time.
nook3y - it wasnt 'hollywood style' for the sake of it as you seem to imply. Pakistan had been taking some very cheeky quick singles and each time a direct hit from an SA fielder would have had them out by miles. Luck just seemed to be against SA and so after maybe 20 run-out misses Jonty decided to take things into his own hands and make sure. Thats what makes this such a great sporting moment.
PS: have you ever tried to hit the stumps from point - its definitely not "easy" as you put it... ;)
Taking a shy at a single stump from point / cover point is a very chancy thing: Jonty (as ever) made the perfect decision: maybe slower, but a guaranteed hit!
believe me there is nothing special about this run out... I know it sounds crazy... but he could have easily thrown the ball and ran him out, but he choose to do it in hollywood style, thats it... and it LOOKS amazing...
but Jonty indeed is a measuring stick when it comes to fielding...
Quick and lightning stuff. Hail Jonty. You r the best
