3) Ricky Ponting
Ricky Ponting is without a doubt Australia’s most successful fielder, having recorded 364 catches in all formats. He was a player who refused to make concessions and had high expectations for himself. His signature positions were the backward point in limited-overs and the second slip in tests. Ponting’s position in the slips made it extra challenging to get past him. He is thus unquestionably among the game’s top slip fielders.
