What counts as "less obvious"? Derek Randall was probably the guy who did most to raise the bar in his era.... but Dean Jones and Johnty Rhodes should be credited with creating the intimidating, predatory fielding "ring".

That said.. the current Aussie fielding coach looks as if he is going to transform fielding more than all three of the above!

If you are looking for less obvious candidates.... Neil Fairbrother and Trevor Penny did their bit: they were at least as good as the best of the current generation (Symonds, Ponting, Clarke, Collingwood, Dalrymple, Gibbs, Yuvraj, Kaif and the like).

ps. names that have cropped up in other threads include Andrew Blignaut, the Marshall twins, Bravo and Gary Pratt.

pps. David Gower wasn't exactly shabby
