Highest Catches Ratio By Any Fielder?

Indian Eknath Solkar's ratio of catches per match is easily the best for a fieldsman who played a considerable number of Tests matches, he played only 27 Tests, but took 53 catches very nearly two per game, the highest ratio by any fielder. Wisden wrote after his untimely death in 2005. "Statistically, Eknath Solkar remains Test cricket's most successful fielder, with 53 catches in just 27 matches - of those who played at least ten, the next-best is Bob Simpson's 110 in 62 Tests, or 1.77 per match to Solkar's 1.96. The top catchers are typically firmly camped in the slip cordon, but most of Solkar's catches came at forward short leg, where he lurked dangerously up close and personal to the batsman. Great Indian left arm spinner Bishan Bedi, of his time whose troublemaker was greatly enhanced by this, confirmed: 'His close-in catching was really intimidating. We’d not have been the same bowlers without him.' Former Ex-Late Tony Greig, an opponent in the 1972-73 series in India, said: 'Ekki was the best forward short leg I have ever seen.' His catching was often preceded by some very idiosyncratic sledging: 'I'll get you, bloody,' he advised Geoff Boycott, and he once told Sir Garry Sobers to mind his own business.
