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 he became the first man to score 100 runs and take 6 wickets in a One Day International (beating Viv Richards's previous 100 runs and 5 wickets), finishing with 112 runs not out and 6 for 31.
