 Ted Dexter was an excellence fielder anywhere and Fred Trueman and Ray Illingworth were good close fielders.Trueman was also a superb out-fielder, capable of throwing down a wicket with either hand and both he and Barrington struck up a good rapport with the crowds while in the field.The Reverend David Sheppard had been a noted close fielder in his youth and held some good catches on the tour, but "the ones I dropped were at such vital moments", Richie Benaud and Bill Lawry in the Second Test and Neil Harvey in the Fourth Test off Trueman, who told him "The only time your hands are together are on Sunday".
