Suresh Raina is worth a mention, as is Ian Bell who is a tremendous fielder.

AB de Villiers is probably the best around at the moment.

Ponting is still a fantastic fielder which says something about his work ethic. Him and Collingwood are the only two fielders I can remember who can field close, in-field or outfield with equal brilliance.

Anderson is probably the best ever fielder for a fast bowler, but I actually think Morgan is a better fielder than him.

FoF is right about Bell, he's maybe the best ever short-leg fielder and brilliant in the gully.

A couple of names also:
Kieron Pollard, sensational in any position.
S. Smith who is probably better than Ponting in the inner ring.

my top 10:
Ponting
AB
Bell
Guptill
Pollard
S. Smith
Warner (fantastic outfielder, prob better than Hussey)
Bravo (Dwayne)
Dilshan
Porterfield (needed to get a non-test player in there...)

By a country mile, skye. Fantastic fielder for a main strike bowler, you usually see them awkwardly lumbering around at fine leg like a new born giraffe.

Brett Lee was a good fielder as well. Mitch Johnson is pretty handy too. I think with the modern game we're going to see fast bowlers being good fielders more and more.

Most definitely, Mike. The modern Test side has to be able to field to an exceptionally high standard, with no weak links. Just look at England who are exemplary in this department.

I think we will begin to see less and less 'bunnies' with the bat as well.

Brett Lee was the fisrt fast bowler I remember as being a fine, athletic fielder. Anderson has taken that to another level IMO, but I think Mike is right in that more and more fast bowlers are going to have to be good fielders too.

In no particular order, my top ten:
De Villiers
Raina
Warner
Anderson
Bell
Pollard
Ponting
Dilshan
Dwayne Bravo
Morgan

I'd throw out David Warner aswell. The kid is a fantastic fielder.

Depends where you're fielding though right? As a fast bowler Anderson is phenomal, whether he's in the slips or elsewhere. The 2 WI all rounders Bravo and Pollard are also sublime fielders in any position really.

Other honourable mentions to Warner, S.Smith, Bell, Mike Hussey, Symonds, Herschelle Gibbs and many many more.

And who could forget the legend that is Dwayne Leverock Very Happy

In ODIs, when India bat first, Sehwag and Tendulkar are amazing fielders. Though strangly they often look like Kohli Whistle

Brett Lee was the best fast bowler/fielder I've ever seen. An amazing athlete.

de Villiers, Ponting, Clarke, Guptill, Kohli, Raina, Duminy, Dilshan, Pollard, Warner all are amazing.
