Those are good points, though I want to differ slightly. Of those three, I thinks Gibbs is the best ground fielder in terms of stopping runs, closely followed by Symonds. Collingwood is a small step below those two for ground fielding, but is the best close catcher of the lot, followed by Gibbs and then Symonds.
To summarise, then:
A)
Ground Fileding:
- Herschelle Gibbs
- Andrew Symonds
- Paul Collingwood
B)
Close Catching- Paul Collingwood
- Herschelle Gibbs
- Andrew Symonds
