If good fielders is the priority ahead of batting or bowling skills, Sauth Africa and New Zealand would have won the world cup 3-4 times. But no.. its the Batting and Bowling talent and class that wins you world cups. Take the example of the world cup winners 1. Pakistan in 92: Worst fielding unit with players like Imran, Javed Miandad, Salim Malik, Inzamam in the field... but they all were match winners on their day.. Compare them with New Zealand, Australia and SA. All of them excellent fielding units but short of match winners. 2. Sri Lanka 96: Arjuna Ranatunga, Aravinda Dsilva, Gurusinghe.. who will take them as a fielder but again on their day they are match winners. 3. Australia 2000: Steve Waugh, Shane Warne, Macgrath, Damien Fleming..not great fielders..but match winners in their days. So Fielding of players should not be the criteria to win matches..it should be their ability to win matches. Selecters..its upto you now.
