#4 Paul Collingwood
Former England skipper Paul Collingwood would rank as one of the finest fielders of his generation and was an acrobatic fielder at the backward point position. He plucked catches out of thin air and handled his troops well as a captain, leading by example on the field. Apart from his familiar backward point position, Collingwood used to field in point and gully as well.
He has truly set a benchmark for youngsters in the English side as far as fielding is concerned. His diving and acrobatic agility set him apart as a world-class fielder.
Besides being a brilliant fielder Collingwood was good middle order batsman and more than a decent medium pace bowler. He scored a brilliant 206 against Australia in the 2006-07 Ashes series which was the first double century by an English batsman in Australia for 78 years. A series of three match winning performances, in fact, earned him many accolades from media and other cricketers as he played an instrumental role in England winning the 2006-07 Commonwealth Bank series in Australia.
Collingwood was the 1st and only captain to lift an ICC Trophy for his country as he led his troops to a sensational victory in 2010 T20 World Cup.
