Description
Jonathan Neil "Jonty" Rhodes (born 27 July 1969 in Pietermaritzburg, South Africa) was a Test and One-day International cricketer who played for South Africa between 1992 and 2003. As a right-handed batsman Rhodes was noted for his quick running; and was especially noted for his fielding, particularly at his most common position of backward point.

During his career he also played for Ireland[1] and played first-class cricket for Gloucestershire County Cricket Club, KwaZulu-Natal and Natal. Rhodes retired from Test cricket in 2000, and from one day cricket in 2003 after an injury during the 2003 Cricket World Cup ruled him out of the rest of the tournament.

Rhodes also represented South Africa at hockey, and was chosen as part of the 1992 Olympic Games squad to go to Barcelona, however the squad did not qualify to go to the tournament.[2] He was also called up for trials to play in the 1996 Olympics but was ruled out by a hamstring injury.[3]
