5 best backward point fielders of all time

#1 Jonty Rhodes

Jonty Rhodes

Jonty Rhodes is the greatest fielder to have ever played international cricket and the template of the ideal modern-day backward point fielder was created by him back in the 1992 World Cup when he dazzled the world with his never-seen-before exploits in that position.

Rhodes was perhaps the first fielder who brought the actions of a football goalkeeper to the cricket field and in addition to that, he had amazing reflexes that allowed him to change direction in a split second.

It was very difficult to get anything past him and during his career, Rhodes turned plenty of games on their heads with brilliant pieces of fielding. He was the pioneer of the demon backward point fielder and without a doubt, the best in history.
