He wrote that although Jonty Rhodes has attained 50-years of age but still has the spark in him. The former Proteas cricketer was a nightmare for the batsmen while fielding in that point region. Jonty was a complete fielder which lifted the South African team during his international career.

Jonty, himself, however, had a funny take on the video saying that he was glad that guy didn’t focus on the other end. He had missed most of the hits during the throwdowns.
