Who's the worst fielder in cricket at the moment acc. to you

Question

I think its Monty Panesar though I like the guy.

Answer 1

I hate to term any cricketer as worst fielder. See, I think every committed cricketer tries to put his best effort on the field. It's actually not their fault if some cricketers aren't as athletic as others. Afterall, you can't expect everyone to be a Jonty Rhodes. We all know how Inzi used to run between the wickets, but no one can deny that he was a great batsman.

But I guess Monty Panesar of England isn't a good fielder as you said. But as a cricketer he isn't that bad. Also, Munaf Patel of India is lazy on the field! Panesar is a poor fielder, but Munaf is just lazy-lazy about everything, which shows a lack of commitment and negative approach. That's why I rate him below Panesar.

Labelling Ganguly as the worst fielder is just another means of hurling insults at Dada. It's true, that he isn't a good runner, but as I've said. everyone can't have the same agility. Besides, the fact which always seem to go unnoticed by the anti-Ganguly group is that Sourav rarely drops catches, while we see many younger and fitter cricketers drop lots of them! Now, which is more detrimental to the team? Failing to save a few runs, like Ganguly or dropping vital catches? My senses say that the latter is more damaging.

The Ganguly haters should take a look at this video, before terming him as the worst. You gave one link. Here is another awesome catch by Dada.

This was in the ODI series against Sri Lanka in 2007, where Ganguly was also the man of the series for his 168 runs in 3 innings. It was shortly after his comeback. Yet the man who is capable of taking such a marvellous catch, is termed "the worst fielder", and kept out of the team. This is Indian cricket!

Answer 9

Yup, Monty it is. However, he is trying his best to improve, and has improved quite a lot in fact.

However, you should have seen Otis Gibson in the field for Warwickshire a few years ago. You'd laugh so much it would bring tears to your eyes.
