#3 Gully / Backward Point – Paul Collingwood
One of the most under-rated all-rounders of his time, Paul Collingwood will always be remembered more as a fielder rather than as a batsman, bowler or captain. Seen mostly in his favourite position - gully, he has also stood in at backward point, like some of his other contemporaries who have fielded in the same position.
England’s only captain to have lifted an ICC Trophy, Collingwood has picked up 217 catches at an impressive 0.609 catches per innings and is currently working with both the English and Scottish teams as a part-time coach and fielding consultant. “The more fielders think for themselves, the better for the team.”- feels the 3 time Ashes winner.
Notable Mentions: Mike Hussey (Backward point), Steve Waugh (Gully)
