Paul David Collingwood MBE (born 26 May 1976), is an English cricketer. He is a regular member of the England Test side and captain of the One Day International team. He is also vice-captain of his county, Durham County Cricket Club.[1][2][3] Collingwood is an all-rounder, who combines natural strokeplay with reliable medium-fast pace bowling. Described as a "natural athlete", he is also regarded as one of the finest fielders of his time.[1][4]

His first class debut was in 1995,[5] and he made his first appearance for England in One Day International cricket in 2001 and in Test cricket in 2003.[6][7] A series of three consecutive match-winning performances by Collingwood at the end of the 2006–07 Commonwealth Bank Series in Australia brought him enthusiastic approval in the British media. His "allround [sic] display of incredible nerve and tenacity" helped to secure the trophy for England.[8]

Contents

[edit] Early and personal life

Collingwood was born and brought up in Shotley Bridge, County Durham by parents David and Janet,[9][10] and was educated at Blackfyne Comprehensive School now Consett Community Sports College.[1] Introduced to cricket "on the playing fields of Blackfyne Comprehensive School", Paul was able to "force his way into Shotley Bridge's Under–13s team at the age of just nine".[11][12] As a teenager, his father, who still remains a member of the Shotley Bridge Cricket Club,[10] persuaded him to give up football and concentrate on cricket.[13] Collingwood still makes regular visits to his old cricket club, "...he is a brilliant role model for the kids and his success is an aspiration to follow...".[14]

He currently lives in Durham with wife Vicki and daughters Shannon (born in September 2006) [15] and Keira (born February 2008).[16] Off the field, Collingwood writes a fortnightly column for BBC Online, in which he revealed that he likes to relax "by playing golf and going to the gym".[17] In 2004 Collingwood, who has a handicap of "five or six",[18] participated in a celebrity golf tournament, organised by Ian Botham to raise funds for Macmillan Cancer Support.[19] He is also a devoted fan of Sunderland AFC.[2] His nicknames are Colly, Shep (this being an apparent homage to the famous Blue Peter dog, Shep),[1][2] and once on BBC's live text commentary, Mackem Nugget.[20]

[edit] Domestic career

Paul Collingwood signed for Durham, his local county side, in 1995, playing first in List A one-day cricket.[5] When he first came to Durham's attention, Collingwood was regarded "as a bowler who batted a bit". According to coach Geoff Cook's 2006 assessment it was Collingwood's determination, rather than his talent, that shone through.[11]

“ Paul had talent... but I don't think he had any more [talent] than a number of lads who came through with him at the time...He had terrible luck with his back, he missed an awful lot of cricket, and a lesser character could well have decided to call it a day. To his credit, Paul came back and worked harder than he'd ever done before. He couldn't bowl as much at the start, so he did an awful lot more batting and, straight away, there were obvious signs of talent there. By the time he forced his way into the Under-19 team he was batting at the top of the order and the following year he was offered a professional contract. ”

Collingwood made his first–class debut against Northamptonshire in 1996, at Durham's Riverside Ground. He made an immediate impression by taking the wicket of former England all-rounder David Capel with his first ball, and scoring 91 in his first innings.[21] However, his early years as a first-class player were characterised by steady and relatively modest performances with bat and ball: in each season from 1996 to 2000, his batting average was between 20 and 30 and his bowling average was between 30 and 60.[22][23]

His breakthrough began in 2000, when he was voted Player of the Year by the Durham members, particularly for his one-day efforts.[9] His form varied following a back injury, but he hit his stride in 2001, when he excelled both in the county championship and in the one-day game.[9] In the six English seasons from 2001, Collingwood has exceeded a batting average of 40 four times and achieved a bowling average of less than 40 on three occasions.[22][23]

Durham only achieved first-class status in 1992.[24] In the 15 years since then, their best performances in the two league championships (the First-class County Championship and the List-A (One-Day) National League) both came in 2006 (finishing sixth and eighth respectively). Following in 2007 with the Friends Provident Trophy, beating Hampshire by 125 runs, Collingwood picking up 22 runs and bowling figures of 3/33.[24] However, Collingwood's involvement was severely limited by his England commitments and he made no appearances at all in either competition.[25][26]

This stood in marked contrast to the previous season, when Collingwood was available to Durham for four of the five Tests, before his England recall for the final Ashes Test; he "pushed his claims for a Test recall with three centuries in four innings in the Frizzell County Championship."[9] In just 13 appearances in the County Championship in that 2005 season, Collingwood scored 1103 runs and took 21 wickets, averaging 55.15 and 31.90 respectively.[27]

In the traditional reward for services to a county, Durham have awarded Collingwood a benefit year for 2007.[28] He has chosen to support two charities through his benefit, Marie Curie Cancer Care and the Cricket Foundation's "Chance to Shine" project, which encourages cricket coaching in state schools.[29] In that same year, two days after achieving his fifth Test century at Riverside in an England victory, he joined Liam Plunkett in helping the county enter its first Friends Provident Trophy final, which they would also go on to win.[30]

[edit] International career

[edit] England debut

Collingwood's form for Durham in 2001 earned him a call-up to the England One Day International (ODI) squad, selected for the NatWest Series against Pakistan and Australia that summer,[6] becoming the 162nd to play for England in One Day International (ODI) cricket.[31] He was not particularly successful on his ODI debut in June 2001, scoring only two runs and taking no wickets against Pakistan at Edgbaston,[32] and doing poorly (20 runs in four innings and no wickets) in the rest of the series.[33] Despite this, the selectors showed confidence in him by choosing him for the 2001–02 one-day tour of Zimbabwe, where he took his first ODI wicket, that of Dion Ebrahim in the Third ODI at Harare Sports Club.[34] He starred with the bat in the Fourth ODI at Queens Sports Club, Bulawayo, with a match-winning 77,[35] and made an unbeaten 56 in the final ODI, also in Bulawayo,[36] helping England secure a 5–0 whitewash.[37]

Collingwood played in all seven matches of the 2002 NatWest Series against India and Sri Lanka, ending on the losing side in the final to India.[38] Neither his batting nor bowling during this series were particularly impressive, averaging less than 24 with the bat and taking only five wickets in the series,[39] but he went on to make his first ODI century in the 2002/2003 VB Series victory against Sri Lanka at the WACA.[40] While this performance cemented his position in the England one–day setup, he dislocated his right shoulder while fielding in a pre–season county friendly against Lancashire and was forced to miss most of the 2003 season.[41] Nevertheless, he was awarded a 12-month ECB contract when the winter touring squads were announced for Bangladesh and Sri Lanka. With Nasser Hussain suffering from a bout of 'flu,[42] Collingwood made his Test debut against the Sri Lankans in the First Test at Galle in December 2003,[9][7] becoming the 622nd Englishman to play Test cricket.[43] It was during this game that he established his position as one of the best English fielders, with five catches and a run-out in the drawn match.[7] Since then his performances in the field have drawn comparisons with South African specialist fielder, Jonty Rhodes.[1]

With the selection of pace bowler James Anderson for the Third Test, Collingwood was dropped.[44] Although unable to establish a regular place in the 11–man team, his all–round ability and fielding strengths made him a regular on England's overseas Test tours as 12th Man.[45]

He retained his place in England's one-day side throughout the summer of 2004 despite a knee injury, and scored an unbeaten 79 in the second match of the NatWest Challenge against India at The Oval, with England winning the series 2–1.[46] Collingwood was also England's second highest run-scorer in the 2004 ICC Champions Trophy, scoring 141 runs at an average of 70.5,[47] which included an unbeaten 80 in the opening game against Zimbabwe.[48] He played in all 11 ODIs against Zimbabwe and South Africa,[49][50] and was then named in the England Development Squad in May 2005,[51] and the 14-man squad for the NatWest Series against Bangladesh and Australia and the NatWest International Twenty20 against Australia that summer.[52]

On 21 June 2005, playing for England against Bangladesh at Trent Bridge, Collingwood scored 112 not out from 86 balls and then took six wickets for 31 runs.[53] These were the best–ever bowling figures by an Englishman in an ODI,[54] and made Collingwood the first player to score a century and take six wickets in an ODI.[55] This performance surpassed the previous best all–round ODI performance, that of Viv Richards, who scored a hundred and took five wickets against New Zealand in Dunedin in the 1986/1987 season.[56] Another highlight that was produced that same series was a stunning mid-air catch off the bowling of Steve Harmison to dismiss Matthew Hayden during the Natwest Series ODI at Bristol.[57] This catch has subsequently been included by Canada's The Score television network as a part of their "Score 64" greatest-highlight contest. Pitted against Tiger Woods' chip at the Canadian Open in the first round, the catch squeezed out a slim victory.[58]

Collingwood also played in England's inaugural Twenty20 International match, held at the Rose Bowl, where a useful contribution of 49 and the wickets of Brett Lee and Jason Gillespie helped jump-start England on its pursuit of the Ashes, with 100-run defeat of Australia.[59]

Collingwood was selected for the Test squad at the outset of the series but was not called into action until bowler Simon Jones was ruled out due to injury during the Fourth Test at Trent Bridge.[60] Collingwood therefore played only the Fifth Test. Although he only scored 7 and 10 with the bat that match, his "blocking" alongside Kevin Pietersen in a 60-run sixth wicket stand on the final day helped England draw the match, and clinch the series to take the Ashes for the first time since 1987.[61] In the 2006 New Year's Honours List, Collingwood was awarded the MBE,[62] together with other members of the England team, for his role in the successful Ashes victory. There was some critical comment that his limited role did not warrant the honour as he had played only in the Fifth Test and scored just 17 runs in 2 innings.[61]

[edit] Success in Pakistan and India

Following the successful Ashes campaign in 2005, Collingwood was selected to tour with England to Pakistan and India in 2005–06. He played in the First Test in against Pakistan in Multan in 2005, but scored only 13 runs in his two innings and took no wickets.[63] He was dropped for the Second Test as Michael Vaughan returned,[64] but came back into the team for the Third Test against Pakistan when the top–order was reshuffled after Andrew Strauss returned to England for the birth of his first child.[65] Despite Collingwood making his maiden Test 50 and following it with another in the second innings,[66] England lost the match and consequently the three-match series 2–0.[67] In the ODI series, he and Durham teammates Liam Plunkett and Steve Harmison accounted for the majority of the wickets taken by England, through a combination of their bowling and fielding.[68]

Following his performance in Pakistan, Collingwood was called into the England team for the First Test against India in March 2006 after injury and illness respectively to Vaughan and Marcus Trescothick.[69] Collingwood justified his position in the team with a magnificent 134 not out in the first innings on 2 March 2006, his first Test century.[70] Collingwood thus became the first Durham player to make a Test century for England.[71] Following this innings, The Times, which had been among the critics of Collingwood's MBE, ran the headline MBE? Give this man a knighthood![72]

[edit] Sri Lanka and Pakistan in 2006

Collingwood kept his place for the first three Tests against Sri Lanka in the summer of 2006.[73] Uncharacteristically, he dropped two catches during the First Test at Lord's,[74][75] but he scored an unbeaten half-century.[76] He went on to make up for the dropped catches in the Second Test at Edgbaston, where he took five catches in two innings while playing his usual batting style as foil (with Andrew Flintoff) to Kevin Pietersen's 142 in the first innings.[77] In the subsequent Twenty20 International match against Sri Lanka, he took 4–22, the best bowling record in Twenty20 Internationals, but still ended on the losing side.[78]

He then followed this up with an important innings in the First Test against Pakistan later that summer, scoring his second Test century.[79] On this occasion he was the dominant partner, batting for most of his innings with rookie Alastair Cook. When Cook departed, he continued with Ian Bell to complete his 150 before at last being removed by Danish Kaneria for 186.[80] This score proved to be England's highest of the series.[81]

Collingwood took his first Test wicket on 6 August 2006, trapping Faisal Iqbal leg before wicket for a golden duck in the Third Test at Headingley. During this series he also bowled a couple of overs of off-spin, to the surprise of many, including the commentary team on Test Match Special.[82] Later that summer, he reached his 100th ODI cap and 50 ODI wickets in the same match by claiming the wickets of Inzamam ul-Haq and Abdul Razzaq during the Fifth ODI against Pakistan in Birmingham on 10 September.[83][84]

Following a successful summer, Collingwood was selected later in 2006 for both the 2006 ICC Champions Trophy squad and Ashes touring party.[85][86] However, after two lacklustre defeats to India and Australia,[87][88] critics such as Geoffrey Boycott and some fans began to question the coaching staff's placement of him in the batting order.[89]

The return of Andrew Flintoff following an injury would reignite the ongoing debate about which two of Cook, Bell and Collingwood should be included in the team, with many speculating that Collingwood would be the man to miss out.[90] With the sudden departure of Marcus Trescothick from the tour just over a week before the First Test, the debate was settled for the time being.[90]

The first ball of the First Test, at the Gabba in Brisbane, bowled wildly wide by Steve Harmison set the tone for the series.[91] However, on the fourth day, England seemed to be batting toward a draw, when Collingwood, who had worked his way to a hard–earned 96 was stumped "...skipping miles down the pitch and trying to smack Warne over his head to reach a hundred".[92] This was a pivotal moment: England went on to lose the next six wickets for 126 runs, and so lost the Test match.[93] In the Second Test at Adelaide, Collingwood made a career-best 206 in England's first innings, sharing in a 310–run fourth–wicket stand with Pietersen;[94] he became only the eighth English double centurion against Australia in Ashes history,[95] and the first in Australia since Wally Hammond achieved the feat in the 1930s.[96] In the second innings he added an unbeaten 22 from 119 balls, but England collapsed to 129 all out and so went 2–0 down.[97] Collingwood received both praise and criticism from commentators on the manner in which he batted with the tail-enders.[98][99]

England fared no better in the Third and Fourth Tests, losing them both, with Collingwood picking up only 60 with the bat in his four innings.[100][101] During the Fifth Test at the Sydney Cricket Ground in January 2007, Australia's Shane Warne revived the controversy of Collingwood's MBE with clearly audible "sledging" at Collingwood's expense.[102] Collingwood's performance during this test was mediocre, scoring 27 and 17 with the bat and not being called upon to bowl a single ball, while Warne scored a quick-fire 71 (including nine 4's and two 6's) as Australia won comfortably by ten wickets.[103]

Despite the series ending with a 5–0 whitewash by Australia, Collingwood finished the series ranked 14th in the LG ICC World Rankings for Test batsmen.[104]

The Commonwealth Bank One-Day International series began on a low note for Collingwood, with a loss in the opening game against Australia at the Melbourne Cricket Ground.[105] Despite the defeat being followed by a narrow win over New Zealand in Hobart,[106] the team and Collingwood went into a rapid decline, losing a string of four matches.[107] He missed England's 92–run victory over Australia due to food poisoning,[108] but returned to make 106 and capture two wickets in the decisive 14–run victory over New Zealand in the final group stage match.[109] He then hit a century and scored the winning runs as England won the first of three finals in Melbourne, against Australia,[110] becoming the eighth Englishman to hit centuries in consecutive ODIs.[111] His innings of 120 not out was the highest ever by an English ODI player against Australia in Australia.[112] In the second of the finals, he was Man of the Match for the third consecutive game, top–scoring for England with 70 and taking two wickets, as well another difficult catch off the bowling of Sajid Mahmood to once again dismiss Matthew Hayden.[113]

[edit] World Cup 2007

Main article: 2007 Cricket World Cup

Flush with confidence and in form from the tri-series victory, Collingwood and the English arrived in the Caribbean with high hopes. However, two unimpressive performances by the team during the warm-up matches against Bermuda[114] and Australia,[115] followed by defeat to New Zealand in the first Group match[116] dampened expectations. This was coupled with the removal of Andrew Flintoff from the vice-captaincy due to an incident of unruly behaviour,[117] which led to speculation that Collingwood would be in line for the captaincy should either Michael Vaughan or Andrew Strauss be unavailable. However, all such discussion came to nought as Vaughan remained in charge, despite the reprimanding of Flintoff.

The tournament was uneventful for Collingwood and the English, as he and the team were soon left by the wayside after qualification into the Super Eight round. Unimpressive victories over Ireland[118] followed by a nervy 37-run seventh wicket stand with Paul Nixon to victory over Bangladesh[119] along with a close 2-run loss to Sri Lanka[120] and heavy losses to Australia[121] and South Africa[122] meant elimination from the knockout stages, as Collingwood was only able to manage lower scores with limited successes with the white ball. He did, however, end up as the tournament's joint top fielder, grabbing eight catches along with Graeme Smith, and took what is arguably his most stunning catch, to dismiss Devon Smith off the bowling of Andrew Flintoff during the final Super Eight match versus the West Indies.[123]

[edit] 2007 season

Collingwood and the team opened their first home Test at Lord's with a dominant first innings against the West Indies, as Collingwood's score of 111 joined Alastair Cook, Ian Bell, Matt Prior and Kevin Pietersen in becoming the first ever group of five Englishmen to score centuries at Lord's in the same match.[124][125] This was followed up during the opposition innings with his second Test wicket, that of Dwayne Bravo.[126] He then added his second century of the series at Durham's home ground at Chester-le-Street during the fourth Test, hitting 128 from 188 balls as part of a 169-run seventh-wicket stand with Prior before being bowled by Corey Collymore.[127] Following his good form in the Test series, Collingwood was named as captain of the England team for the two Twenty20 Internationals and three One-Day International games against the West Indies,[128] following previous captain Michael Vaughan's resignation of the position of captain in the format four days before.[3] Of the Twenty20s, England lost the first but won the second to draw Collingwood's first Twenty20 International series as a captain. While only contributing 27 from 24 balls in the second match,[129] Collingwood outshone the other English batsmen with his individual effort during the first, hitting 79 runs from just 41 deliveries.[130] The England team continued into the 50-over ODI matches, winning the first by a comfortable 79 under Collingwood's captaincy, though the man himself hit only 5 runs.[131] He went on to captain the one-day side against India, where they won the 1st ODI but lost an entertaining 2nd ODI at Bristol by 9 runs. After the 2nd ODI Collingwood was fined half of his match fee for a slow over rate. England eventually won the closely-fought series 4-3.

Collingwood was fined £1000 during the 2007 Twenty20 World Championship when he visited a lap-dancing club prior to England's match with New Zealand.[132] Collingwood led the team to victory over Zimbabwe in the group stages of the tournament, but England, under his leadership, were later defeated by Australia, New Zealand, South Africa and India to go out of the competition before the final stages. During England's subsequent tour of Sri Lanka Collingwood led the team to victory in the ODI Series. In the later Test series, he became the 709th Test wicket of Muttiah Muralitharan, who thus overtook Shane Warne as the highest Test wicket taker.

[edit] Wisden Cricketer of the Year

He was chosen as one of the five Wisden Cricketer of the Year in 2007, alongside England teammate Monty Panesar.[145] In their rationale, Wisden describes him as having become the embodiment of "the sort of cricketer who not only made the most of his ability but was also determined to keep getting better."
