10 best England fielders of all time

#4 Derek Randall

Derek Randall

Former England batsman Derek Randall might not have had the most stellar of careers as a batsman but when it came to fielding he was regarded as one of the world's best during the late 1970s and early 1980s. As a fielder, he was ahead of his time and had the ability to fly around in order to take catches or save runs in the covers. In fact, it has been said by those who watched him play that Randall used to be ready to spring in any direction as the bowler approached the crease.

Randall's fielding was worth its weight in gold for England since he could save runs for his side by stopping certain boundaries, reducing a certain single to a dot ball or by coming up with a spectacular catch to dismiss a dangerous batsman.
