6 players with the strongest throwing arms in cricket history

#2 Jonty Rhodes

Jonty Rhodes had throws that usually hit the stumps

When it comes to strong arms in the history of cricket, it is impossible to omit Jonty Rhodes from that list. This man was known to effect a run-out when there wasn’t any, he plucked the ball out the air when it was a certain dropper. The South African would prowl the boundaries and shoot the ball like a bullet.

In short, he was a dream to watch. In the late 90s, Rhodes made diving around the field look fashionable. South Africans are naturally fast on the field because they spend a lot of time outdoors as the climate is always pleasant. There is no monsoon or snow, giving them enough opportunity to focus on sports.

Barring cricket, Rhodes played football and field hockey. Hockey is something that pumps strength into the hands, helping him with those outrageous throws.

Between 1999-2003, he effected 15 run-outs in 94 matches at the astounding rate of 0.1595 in ODIs. No matter where Rhodes was placed in the field, he knew how to anticipate and throw the ball to make a difference to the match.
