Jonty - the wonder man!

On thinking about cricket the one name that comes immediately to my mind is Jonty Rhodes. He is such a cool, calm, composed and talented cricketer. I always love to watch the way he fields. I admire his fielding more than his batting. I don't even mind whenever any Indian batsmen is given out due to Jonty's splendid catch or run - out, after all it s not their fault :)

It is the tendency of the fielders to throw the ball as soon as they collect it. But i remember an incident where Jonty took a few seconds for positioning himself, after collecting the ball and produced a perfect run - out. His splendid catches and run - outs have won several matches for South Africa. Surely the man who discovered the concept of 'Gravitational Force' would have thought twice if he had seen this man on the field ;) . Also his reverse sweeps require special mention. He has done wonders with his bat too..

There can be 'n' number of excellent batsmen and bowlers in this world, but when it comes to fielding it is the one and only Jonty. I would just love to see him back in action :)
