Did Ian Healy, Mark Taylor and Mark Waugh form the best ever slips cordon?


All three at some point held a world record for catches.


Have there been any better (or even close)?
 
Shane Warne, Mark Waugh, Tom Moody, Damien Martyn, Ricky Ponting, Steve Waugh, Andrew Symonds, Michael Bevan, Adam Dale

After all that, I'll bet the batsman was bowled or lbw.

Btw, when did the term "batters" become standard? I'm guessing it's meant to be more PC, but it sounds too much like baseball for my liking.

I doubt it. Also wasn't Ponting at 3rd slip and S Waugh at gully. Not too shabby.
 
Best ever fielding team all round would just about be would be the one that played in the 2006/7 Ashes series in Melbourne and Brisbane

Gilchrist - WK
Warne - 1st Slip
Ponting - 2nd Slip
Langer - 3rd Slip
Hayden - Gully
Symonds - Point
Clarke - Cover
Hussey - Mid off
Lee - Mid on
McGrath - Fine Leg
Clark - Bowler

That is off the top of my head.
 
Taylor, Waugh and Warne would be close.

For Australia, that's the three I would have said in my lifetime of watching, that's the younger Waugh with Tubby and Warne.

Mike Hussey is one of the best gully fielders we've had, but Bruce Yardley was a fine fielder in that spot as well.
