Reflex, agility and anticipation is always an irrepressible mix & that is exactly what Jonty was all about. Jonathan Neil Rhodes wasn't just lightning, he'd dive, stop a ball and get up almost in the same movement. His energy made his contemporaries blush and jugglers go white at his dexterity.
Some more stuff about him:
1. For his fine hockey skills, he got selected in the South African Olympic hockey team in 1996..!!
2. First cricket player in history to claim paternity leave..!!
3. Was famous for delaying the team bus for an extra round of work-out or signing autographs for kids..!!
Below is the link which shows him in action:

Rhodes will always remain 'the best fielder in the world of cricket'..!! His greatness really said it all when one fan put up this on one of the posters during an ODI:
"Three quarters of the earth is covered by water. The rest by Jonty Rhodes"..!!
