At whatever position on the field he stands, he ensures a sense of something extraoridinary in the offing. Jonty Rhodes make you watch him, the ball inevitably follows him everywhere.He will fly and leap, and somehow not just stop the ball but sprint at it and grab it with both hands. The attention he commands is breathtaking .
He is no mug with the bat though he batting is often over-looked.He is often described as a mover and a shaker. When runs are few and far between, Rhodes will come in and manage to run two runs where others can only run one.
