Collingwood and Gibbs are good aerial catchers and they are good at ground level, Symonds is not quite as good with aerial catches but he is still a lot better than most, he is the best in the world at ground level saving runs in cover, what puts Symonds so far ahead of Colly and Gibbs are these things, ground level fielding, direct hits, general speed, out fielding ability and having one of the strongest throwing arms from the deep.

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:
  1. Herschelle Gibbs
  2. Andrew Symonds
  3. Paul Collingwood
B) Close Catching
  1. Paul Collingwood
  2. Herschelle Gibbs
  3. Andrew Symonds

I personally think that Gibbs is a better in close catcher than ground fielder and his low fast catches are awesome to watch. The difference between Symonds and the rest of the great fieldsman (Collingwood, Gibbs, Ponting, Clarke, De Villiars, Marshall for example) is his all round fielding, in the outer and in close. You just have to look at how much he intimidates the batsman when the ball goes anywhere near him. They are all great fieldsman, its just a matter of opinion.

Gibbs and Collingwood are not really known as great run out threats like Symonds, Ponting, Clarke, De Villiars. (Sorry I actually can't think of any asian players that are great direct hitters)

I am not sure why you should be "sorry", but if it is because I am an Asian, don't worry; I won't take offence (or a fatwa against you )

As a matter of fact, Yuvraj Singh is a very good direct thrower / wicket hitter.

I was actually going to say Yuvraj but I was not sure. He is the only one that I have heard being a great fieldsman from Asia.

Hi,
I think Paul Collingwood is doing his level best in fielding.He is also a Good All-rounder.He plays well.England has got a good batsman who can make england to win fame.And this player is good choice.
