Who are the best slip fielders you have seen during the time you started watching cricket?

I'll go with Kallis,Mahela, and Younis. These 3 come to my head instantly.

How about you guys?
 
Shane Warne, Mark Waugh, Paul Collingwood, Jacques Kallis, Rahul Dravid, Mahela Jayawadene.

Recently Ben Stokes.
 
Mark Waugh, mark taylor, dravid, Azharuddin, kallis, Laxman was also decent.. Might have missed some obvious ones but these come to mind as of now..

The aussie trio of M Waugh, M Taylor and S Warne were amongst the very best Mark especially to spin or pace was exceptional
 
Mark Waugh, Stephen Fleming, for 3rd, a tie between Azhar & Hooper. Big Mac was also very safe for his bucket palms, but he wasn't athletic & hardly caught against spinners.

I haven't seen Greg, Ian live while Botham & Viv were way past best by the time I saw them live.

I was going to suggest Mohammad Hafeez as he is blessed in all facets...

Haven't seen most of the old-timers so from more recent times - Mahela, Kallis, Younis, Dravid.

And more recently - Stokes and Rahane.

Also a shoutout to Dwayne Leverock. :asif

He had the greatest impact no doubt

I still love the way bumble described it during commentary.......

'......THE EARTH SHOOK !!! ' :bumble
 
Mark Waugh without a shadow of a doubt! He was brilliant . .
 
Can't remember Jacque Kallis ever having dropped a catch in the slips.
 
I'll go with Mark Waugh super fly reflexes. Made even the difficult ones look so easy.
