Whether it be Tests and ODIs for Australia or early in his career for Queensland, there were arguably no better fielders in world cricket than Andrew Symonds
I almost forgot what a great fielder Andrew Symonds was! Tells you about the quality of this great Australian side because all of their players were exceptional in the field.
RIP Andrew Symonds, you were a cricket icon when I was younger. I'll never forget the moment you cleaned up the streaker or when you hit the ball into Michael Clarkes pad and got caught out and then told him that he owes you a beer and laughed.
Andrew Symonds was a part of a team which was easily able to score 300 or 300+ in an ODI match when scoring 250 was considered an achievement. One of the best teams I've seen.
As a young (kid) Indian cricket lover I hated him. And today as a grown up I can't admire him enough. One of the best . I actually hated how good he was as compared to the contemporary Indian Fielding. Legend !
@@adityeaah No they dont, players can bowl, bat, but not many can be a brilliant fielder on his level. In world cricket at the moment not one is as good an allround cricketer,he could take an attack apart then field like a ninja running people out and take a brilliant catch along with taking a couple of wickets in the same game.
Ricky ponting said symonds was the best fielder he ever saw which for a career like his is high praise indeed. He was super in the field, quick, athletic and didn't miss too often
I love Symonds... He was one of my favorite cricketers during his time even though I hated the Aussies as they were winning everything.. Love from India..
Another player who wasn't around much for T20. IMO, he's perfect for T20 (as well as 50 overs ODI). Big hitter!! Awesome fielder and can also bowl 4 overs.
I remember him for the power with which he used to hit those sixers. A very handy all-rounder for Australia. Thankyou for all the entertainment. You will be missed. RIP
He is the Best Fielder EVER to play the beautiful game of Cricket 🏏!! He was absolute Killer in and outside the 30 yard ⭕️ circle. His throws were rocket 🚀, He was bang on target 🎯 99 out of 💯 times and He can field anywhere in the field, whether it was slips, gully’s, covers, point or square of the wicket (both sides). He was a Phenomenon.
There are fielders who are good at diving and stopping the ball from boundary inside the power play. But there is Symonds, imp who is above all the fielders for his ability to hit wicket. If you notice his runout in the clip whenever he has to hit the 3 available stumps, he would hit only the middle stump. Such is his accuracy.
Never even mattered what side of Roy the ball was hit or how hard, NOBODY could turn themselves inside out and still knock the stumps down like him. Such a huge powerful athlete yet so quick and nimble.
A player who doesn't has any fear or worry he is Andrew symonds. He was Heroic and superior in cricket field. Upset hearing his early demise. THANKS LEGENDDDDDDDDDDDDDD
One of the best all-rounder of cricket world. Best one day batsman, very good T20 batsman and also a good test player. Spinner//midium pacer//fantastic, Superb fielder..... 👌👌👌👏👏👏
The perfect blueprint of a cricket player. Solid with the bat in the middle order, could pick up wicket with a spell bowling and athletic and accurate in the field.
During early 2000s , I was like please somebody beat Australia. They were magnificent in all aspects of the game. I don’t know why Australia don’t produce consistent players anymore. Miss you symonds. Thanks for the wonderful memories. RIP . Love from 🇮🇳
I will miss this player,cricket will miss this superstar...cricket will never have another symonds...his fearless attitude, fearless batting and his magical fielding will be missed...I can't believe that he is no more, this decade is totally wrong...Om Shanti Andrew Symonds 🙏😔💔
and there are many others that are not shown in this video. Andrew Symonds was undoubtedly an outstanding fielder and direct hitter. Probably the best of all times. RIP Legend.
They can only show footage of those runouts which were played in Australia uttappa runouts cannot make it to the list because it was did in icc tournament and star has copyright to display for even a 5 sec video on icc events
Yup as I mentioned before... He was probably one of the best complete fielders both infield and outfield along with Devilliers,Gibbs , Bolt , Jadeja and a few more
I'd say that Symonds was the most agile and intimidating all-rounder after Beefy! It seemed that whatever he was doing, he was doing it with brute power. What a cricketer! (And of course, what a team that was!!!) The other all-rounder Andrew of that era, Andrew Flintoff, was also a powerful bloke. But he was more boyish, rather than intimidating.
The thing was, we always heard about Ponting and Rhodes, but Symonds just seemed to pass the radar. A bit like Mitchell Johnson, two big super fit guys with rocket arms.
People who never watched games with Symonds in the field probably will never truly understand how good he was. The amount of runs he would save chasing balls or cutting of runs in the infield or boundary was amazing. He could field in any position, had some of the best hands ever, one of the strongest arms ever, and was incredibly accurate. There are a lot of fielders with better highlight reels (Ponting, Rhodes etc), but imo Symonds was as good as any of them.
I agree. Consider that most of the best ever fielders were generally smaller , very nimble people. Symonds was huge in comparison, yet was super quick and as you said could field anywhere. His throw was just as deadly from the boundary
3 gr8 cricketers lost in the last few months . Andrew Symonds was a real gem . An all rounder extraordinaire. Big loss . Comfort & blessings 2 his wife & 2 small children
He was my favorite player after Shahid Afridi, renowned for dominating cricket with his exceptional fielding skills, impressive run-outs, and most notably, his powerful flat sixes. Rest in peace, legend!
Rhodes revolutionised fielding, Roy took it to another level. Could field anywhere on the cricket ground and be amazing at it and had the best throwing arm. He and Punter were next level!
There's very little I can think of that's more exciting than watching Roy in full flight with the bat or ball. Or dropping that streaker at the Gabba. Love and condolences to his family and friends.

Agreed! If their world class bowling couldn’t get you out, their exceptional fielding would
You also forget how he ruined his career. Thanks to his stupid drinking habit. You would have went all the way.

True
Me too
True 👌👍
Indians didnt give priority to fielding and fastbowling both changed with dhoni and kohli😁
Same here
One thing i noticed about him that when he got sight of all three stumps he would usually hit the middle one
Deadly accuracy
Accuracy at point
First time in the history of my life ,
Me to UA-cam: Thank you for recommending it . 😭
RIP Legend ❤️
Back then... That yellow jersey gave Shivers in opposition team
They dont make players like Symonds anymore
Absolute legend of the game
Actually, they make more like him every year these days
But he's one of the first of his kind no doubt

Totally agree, Symonds was the prototype T20 player.
He was in at the start of it.
@@sugarnads Yeah, that's true, but he was past his prime as a cricketer
Maxwell

Most accurate cricketer I have ever seen in terms of hitting wickets while fielding.
Man!!! He was so big yet he's so fast and excellent in field.
Twisting turning diving then swiveling!!

Terrific Limited overs Cricketer

2:01. That voice crack is amazing
Bill Lawrey my favourite commentator.
"That's Australia!"
those were the days, and nowadays...
One of the best all-rounder of cricket world. Best one day batsman, very good T20 batsman and also a good test player. Spinner//midium pacer//fantastic, Superb fielder..... 👌👌👌👏👏👏
All class. What a cricketer! RIP Roy
The perfect blueprint of a cricket player. Solid with the bat in the middle order, could pick up wicket with a spell bowling and athletic and accurate in the field.
The beauty is most of the run-outs looked not out but the result was different.Just throwing the ball so comfortably...that's brilliant❤
During early 2000s , I was like please somebody beat Australia. They were magnificent in all aspects of the game. I don’t know why Australia don’t produce consistent players anymore. Miss you symonds. Thanks for the wonderful memories. RIP . Love from 🇮🇳

Gone but never forgotten. Rest in power an absolute legend of the game. ✊🏾
and there are many others that are not shown in this video. Andrew Symonds was undoubtedly an outstanding fielder and direct hitter. Probably the best of all times. RIP Legend.
A true Beast in every sense!
Should have shown him knocking over the streaker. Best bit of fielding ever!!!
Kinda reminds me how he was also a professional-standard rugby player. Streaker /really/ shouldn't have taken him on.
One more run out is missing in this video. In t20 wc 2007 when he runs out uthappa
I was thinking about the same!!
Very correct
Same

Very true i was searching comment
RIP ... our 90's hero .. a nightmare on the field for batsman and with bat.
A bowler who can bowl med pace and spin too .. ❤️
Yup as I mentioned before... He was probably one of the best complete fielders both infield and outfield along with Devilliers,Gibbs , Bolt , Jadeja and a few more
Infinity Rider Maybe Jonty Rhodes as well?
lol you forgot to mention johnty rhodes- the greatest fielder of all time
and even suresh raina...
praneeth penumarty Jhonty was probably the best infielder...never ever saw him fielding in the outfield..a complete fielder can field anywhere
Vivek Singh Ponting was the best fielder ever
Jadeja doesn't field in the slips...
He was a superman in the field, RIP 🙏🙏🙏🙏.
RIP Mr. Symonds. Grew up watching you play at your carrier high
Miss you legend 🙏🏻. Your legacy will talk ever. RIP Andrew Symonds 💐🙏🏻

RIP legend 😢 another sports great taken from us way too early
There are some great fielders going around these days, but I feel like no one throws the stumps down like Symonds or Ponting did anymore
The thing was, we always heard about Ponting and Rhodes, but Symonds just seemed to pass the radar. A bit like Mitchell Johnson, two big super fit guys with rocket arms.
@@craigedwards2940 could also because he had a shorter career
Correct sir
RIP Roy. What an absolute Cricketer you were and a joy to watch.
RIP Symonds!!! You will always be remembered as a fabulous fielder and batsman.
RIP Roy. One of the best fielders to ever play the game.
Came here to watch Roy's brilliance 😢 He was an unbelievable cricketer
This guy is the best fielder I've seen. Sad that he's gone.
Legendary people are born once in centuries and symonds is among one of them
Yeah
ANDREW Symonds the monster among men, fantastic player played cricket, love and respect from India
Deepest condolences 🙏
1:13 One of the best run outs I ever watched. What an athleticism!!!
R.I.P legend! Growing up I idolised this man, catching, fielding, bowling so many variationa and hitting a long ball! Gone too soon.

The intensity the passion this australian team had is amazing.
Tears dropping , heavy heart while watching😢 . As tony quoted here in the video. That’s is all over
amazing, best moment for me watching Roy score his Maiden Test Hundred alongside Mathew Hayden.
He was truly a beast on the field either batting or fielding

That title would go to Ricky Ponting

Miss seeing him in the field. What a great cricketer and entertainer
He can field, he can hit straight six with ease and he can Bowl..absolute beast and there are so many stories about him in school we discuss...🙄

My Favorite Aussi Cricketer Roy ❤️❤️
One of my favorite players. Hence Tendulkar and Singh lying during Monkeygate will always be shameful if they were ever capable of feeling shame.

If Andrew symonds is playing cricket now he would be the highest paid in ipl.. one of the best all rounders in cricket history
