To select the best fielder, have to consider fielding in all positions, so for me I wouldn't select Jonty Rhodes as I never saw him field in the slips, thus in my book it doesn't make him an all-round fielder. Ricky Ponting is good in the slips and it excellent in the in-field as well as in the outfield, but the best overall fieldsman in my book has to be Mark Waugh. He is the best slips fieldsman I have seen, has taken some blinders at 2nd slip, also fielded at Bat-pad (on the off-side) when Mark Taylor was in the Australian side and has taken some good catches there, and has taken some blinders in the in-field as well (Laxman's catch in the 2nd innings of the 3rd test at Chennai in 00/01 series vs India).
He was also the fielder who made the run-out in the 99 WC Semi-final against South-Africa

So Mark Waugh would be my choice as the best overall fielder I have seen
