From the iconic flying leap to becoming the Man of the Match for fielding, Jonty Rhodes has done it all ? Jonty is agile and energetic as his Primary number 9. The number 9 represents Mars, which is fiery, bold, zealous & high-octane. Hence we consider it best for Sports.

Jonty Rhodes, the Colossus (intended), turns 51 today.

There were great fielders before him, of whom there are videos of Logie and Harper (and a few others) online.

The overall quality of fielding has gone up significantly now.
