Durham County FOLLOW US ONLINE TWITTER.COM/CRICKETCLUBMAG Paul Collingwood Paul Collingwood called time on his career at the end of the 2018 season to bring a close to a fantastic 23 year career. Throughout that time he has represented his home county Durham CCC and also played for England in all three major formats of the game. He finished his test career with ten centuries to his name as well as twenty half centuries to go alongside a respectable average of forty. Some of his best moments for England came in the Twenty20 format where he captained England to World Cup glory and he was also a formidable one day player where he averaged thirty five with the bat and contributed with ball as well. Collingwood can look back on his career with tremendous pride and is sure to be remembered fondly by North-eastern fans of the game in particular. 30 Issue 48
