Water covers two thirds of the planet. Jonty covers the rest.

Met him a couple of years ago at a wedding... he's such a humble guy... adn there's an entire generation of us who used the word 'jonty' as a complimentary adjective for athletic.

[@prajeeshprasannakumar]

Before Jonty, fielding was mostly chase the ball. He saved 20-30 runs with his fielding skillls and showed that saving a run is scoring a run. Many upcoming players became acrobatic in fielding because of the inspiration of Jonty.

for me it was Derek Randall. No prizes for guessing where & when I grew up :)

[@shrey_kundra]

Love Jonty! He was a literal trailblazer in the game and showed what could be done on the field. All the great fielders in the game today are there after Jonty did it first. Class player and good bloke too!

[@ImagineSinghJi]

My childhood hero and the best part, I'm teaching his kids now. Had the pleasure to meet him in our school. What a legend.

[@farhadchaudhry]

The 90s had so many great players it was great to watch.

[@mohitsingh8893]

I remember we used to try to copy that run out of his when we were kids. Never could do it in Real time

[@mitra420]

So, I remember he was such a poster boy of extraordinary fielding when I was growing up in 90s and early 2000s that every time someone did something good with field in gully cricket we used to chant "ohhhh! Jonty Jonty!! " (That's some Jonty Rhodes level stuff there!)

[@anurag123B]

He dived instead of throwing because from the angle he fielded, if he threw the ball, he would be aiming at one stump and therefore chances of missing the stumps were higher than running and diving with the ball in his hand.

[@ImagineSinghJi]

And on top of that he already had crazy forward momentum propelling him.

[@alanmansfield664]

Take a look for videos of Mark Waugh fielding/catching. There is a ludicrous catch from November 1997, Perth Australia. A peer of Jonty’s. We were spoilt!

[@puneetmendiratta9014]

Fun fact...crowd go to stadiums to watch batting or bowling stars...its was only due to jonty crowds use to watch due to fielding.

[@nitinmunghate5880]

The great batsman of the time feared to take chance of run if ball moved in his direction... They simply gave up the thought of taking run.. If anyone dared to risk..we would see him walking towards pavilion...😅

[@pritamkundu99]

Whenever someone fields well, we compliment them by saying, it's like jonti man......

[@anurag123B]

Jonty is the OG of fielding, I had the pleasure of watching SA playing its first ODI after the lifting of their ban at the Jawahar Lal Nehru Stadium in Delhi and saw Jonty fielding. Never seen anything like it before. It was just inspiring to watch.

[@alanmansfield664]

Your observations from your own sporting backgrounds is valuable. He was a fair field hockey player.

[@danusams]

He was a beast

[@kumarswamyreddy4034]

I am up for jonty rhodes reaction he is a fielding legend

[@sherardsadeek9597]

Would recommend checking out those other suggested videos. As a West Indian fan, Brian Lara is one of the greatest batsmen ever and Ambrose is one of the best fast bowlers ever. Hope you all enjoy.

[@UKJesterVids]

Definitely worth checking Curtly Ambrose

[@ramiromaia592]

One of my favourite players in the game

[@Exiide89]

He's a man, he's a bird!!

[@dualindivi2772]

Thanks for this guys. Great fielder and athlete who could justify his inclusion purely on fielding ability. Phenomenal catching and stopping skills and the sheer impact of his presence makes him one of the fielding greats. His dives remind us of Boris Becker at his prime in tennis. For just fielding, there's the Australian team of the 90s, a somewhat tainted Azharuddin and in modern times there's Ravindra Jadeja. But when it comes to impact, Jonathan "superman" Rhodes is special.

[@jeemutbbahanroy]

"LIKE A BIRD OF PREY" he said ...

[@RealFansSports]

Yeah I caught it on the second time around. Thought he was making a Superman joke!

[@blakej559]

Even in Australia as kids playing park cricket if someone pulled off some spectacular fielding everyone would yell out "Jonty!" when it happened

[@deadpooldeadpool665]

Back then in the 90s there was a man called Jonty Rhodes…. The goat of the fielding No one can ever match him

[@heavenlyxtacy]

It was because of Jonty the world started taking fielding seriously, before that fielders were just lousy, running after balls, no efforts to stop with some extra efforts. And then South Africa showed how even stopping one run could win a game.

[@NeilOosthuizen]

He changed the way the game was played.

[@Shiva_vss]

LOOK (RAVINDRA JADEJA) FIELDING

[@praveenpillay4329]

Jonty is the greatest fielder of all time.

[@jsegal8385]

If you like going down rabbit holes on the net try a bit of research on Hansie Cronje, Captian of the South African Cricket team for many years. Rhodes played under him for a lot of his career. Cronje was banned from cricket for life after found to be corrupt. Other players like Herschelle Gibbs, Nicky Boje and Pieter Strydom. were also named. Some believe that the entire SA cricket team knew of the match fixing even though they may have took no part in it. On the other hand if they knew of it why didnt they report it. Cronje was killed in a light plane crash about a year after he was banned. This will lead you into the various ongoing international cricket corruption allegations particularly where the public bet on who will hit the first six, get the first run out, first stumping and so forth and so on. Its not so much about playing to lose anymore Illegal gambling is so big in India and Pakistan now it can buy off a lot of players and officials

It is rare to clatter into the stumps with the ball. The circumstance has to there.

[@robday2859]

Jonty was a freak at that backward point position but certainly wasn't the OG super fielder, you had the likes of Dean Jones and Viv Richards who started off showing that fielding could change the course of matches. Then came Ponting, who was IMO a better fielder at more positions and had a much better arm from the outfield, could field at slip, and of course Top10 batsman of all time.

[@shekharpradhan5576]

Something more to add here , he was a great batter too. He averaged more than 35 in both 5 days and One day format , Strike rate over 80 in One dayers as a lower middle order batter. That too in the era of the 90s and early 20k.

my parents named me after him lol

[@kunalraizada]

MSD has done that, ran to break the stumps for a run out on the last ball of a nail bitting finish. The opposite real had kind of celebrated the victory already 3 balls before the end as they only needed 2 runs of last 3 balls to win, but the game complexion changed when both the set batsmen got out on next 2 balls and they still needed 2 runs to win off the last ball, the ball went to MSD as the batsmen missed it but tried to make a run anyways to Tie up the match…. But But But, noones faster than MSD. Watch this last over match finish video, its amazing. kzbin.info/www/bejne/npKZl3ehoaaFr8Usi=qZrCIw1JLVN_mvtw

Dhoni has done it

[@logukarthe]

No way man, I follow cricket more than 30 years. Just direct hits alone won't place Dhoni in Rhodes league. Dhoni's magic comes from his keeping against spin, and his tactical abilities. No one can question that. But Rhodes was another level.

[@logukarthe]

If you really want to understand Rhodes impact. You have to look how he inspired Ganguly to select Kaif, Yuvaraj and I forgot one of his U19 teammate just for their fielding. To position them point, cover and extra cover. None of these had a remember, For Yuvaraj it took more than 70 ODIs to bring his average above 30. He and Kaif held on to those positions just because of their fielding as shown by Rhodes, until Yuvaraj flourished.
