Former Australian captain Mark Taylor is regarded as one of the finest slip fielders to have ever played the game. Shane Warne was a maverick spin bowler, and under the guidance of Taylor, went on to become the best spinner in the world.

From 1992 to 1998, Taylor took 51 catches off Warne's bowling at first slip, some of which were pretty spectacular. The duo's status as an iconic combination is beyond question as most dismissals involved a combination of outstanding catching and brilliant bowling.
