The best batsmen always are the best slip fielders. Is this true? I did play a bit but was cr*p at everything apart from bowling and didnt play enough to understand the nuances of the game. * +

Not always. I was an opening bat but was pretty rubbish fielding in the slips due to my height. * +

The good batsmen in my teams were always good slippers, and just watching internationals and s**t and was musing. Stephen Fleming is about 6.2 or something, great slip fielder, so not convinced of that theory. It is rare you will see a quick in the slips though. * +

kallis is a top order bat and started as a bowler who pushed 150kph regularly and he probably one of the al time great slip fielders * +

He is a batting allrounder. He never got close to 150km though, 135 at best. Usually bats at 5-6 so not top order either (although I rate him as a batsman as best or next to that Iv seen from the last 20yrs). In saying that, brilliant batsman worthy slipper. My theory holds true. * +

longer spans of concentration. Test batsmen usually have that trait so they can bat longer innings. * +
