Paul David Collingwood (born 26 May, 1976, Shotley Bridge, Durham) is an English cricketer who plays for Durham and England.
An all-rounder who mixes natural strokeplay with the bat with reliable and occasionally dangerous medium-pace bowling, Collingwood has established himself well in the middle order of England's One-day international side since his slightly shaky debut in 2001. He has struggled to make a place for himself in the Test side, though, and has become a regular sight on England's Test tours as 12th man. An athletic and highly skilled fielder, several of the 'caught sub' entries recorded on England's scorecards can be attributed to his all-too-brief appearances on the field as a substitute.
On the 21st June, 2005, playing for England against Bangladesh at Nottingham, he scored 112 not out from 86 balls, then took 6-31, the best-ever figures by an Englishman, to become the first player to score a century and take six wickets in a One Day International; Viv Richards had previously scored a hundred and taken five.
