#4 Stephen Fleming
Not only was Stephen Fleming New Zealand’s most successful captain and one of the best batsmen, he was also their most successful fielder in both Tests as well as ODIs. Soft hands and good hand-eye coordination were some of his fielding attributes. He was a tall guy with a great pair of hands.
He is ranked 6th and 5th in the highest number of catches taken by non-keepers in Tests and ODIs respectively (171 in Tests and 133 in ODIs). He was one of the safest fielders during his time.
#3 Ricky Ponting
Statistically the greatest captain of all time, Ricky Ponting has also taken 4th highest and 2nd highest number of catches in Tests and ODIs respectively (196 in Tests and 160 in ODIs). With a total of 364 catches across formats, Ponting is easily the most successful fielders to have played for Australia (based on the number of catches).
He was an uncompromising player who set high standards in the field. Second slip in Tests and backward point in limited-overs were his trademark positions. It was very difficult to get past Ponting especially when he stands in the slips.
Thus, he is certainly one of the best slip fielders to have played the game.
