I mean, i remember when they couldn't catch a cold, but nowadays they are probably (in my biased opinion), the second best fielding side going. Many people put that down to Trevor Penney, and he no doubt has had an influence, but they still used to be pretty darn good under John Dyson, so it has been a gradual process, and now its reaching the stage where we are fielding like tigers, be it ODIs, or Tests.

On the subject of the best fielder, the stand-out person is Paul Collingwood, but he is by far and away the best fielder in the England team.
Australia on the other hand, have players who are seemingly an expert in the position they field in. What i mean is that, they seem like a fielding unit, instead of just having one brilliant fielder...
