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 appearances on the field as a substitute (although they don't count towards his official statistics).
On 21 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. He usually fields at backward point, where he has pulled off a number of aerial catches.
He came back into the team for the 3rd Test against Pakistan in 2005-6, making his first and second Test 50 in both innings.
