5 best slip catchers for South Africa

#1 Graeme Smith

Smith made the first slip position his own during his time as a player.

One of the greatest captains to have graced the game of cricket, Graeme Smith was a champion fielder in the slips as well, making the first slip spot his own during his career.

The bowl invariably used to flow into Smith's hands and a tally of 166 catches from 116 Test matches and 105 catches from 196 ODIs proves that he caught most of what came his way.

Fielding in the slip region helped Smith get a good understanding of the way the game was heading as skipper of the side but he never let the pressure affect his concentration while fielding.
