Nothing substantive there but I've been tipping this for a couple of weeks.
Reckon he'll give up England altogether after the World Cup.
I'm just saying
RIP Craigos. A true CW legend. You will be missed.
Its the right time for him to retire from test cricket.

With England in a good place and young players clamouring for his spot, it is as good a time as any for Colly to step down. Him being able to concentrate on limited overs cricket, which has always been his forte, would help the team and himself.
Maybe we wouldn't be so quick to fill buckets with filth if we knew they had a soul. Or maybe that's what they're into. Ain't no way to get inside a bucket's mind.
To be fair Colly's only acknowledging the truth of the situation; it could well be his last test.
He does have a habit of producing knocks when his worth's being questioned tho.

"This is not the time for namby-pamby promising youngsters who might just do something; not the time for building for the future. Pragmatism rules and they don't come more pragmatic than Rogers."

Was never as good as Vikram Solanki imo.
Indeed, been so many times that Collingwood's head has been called for, and he's made a ton in a Test that a few were rumouring to be his last. Would not be at all surprising to see him make a big score in this final Test of the series.Originally Posted by BoyBrumby
Whilst facing the magisterial talents of Mitchell Johnson and Peter Siddle? Not to mention the dangerous off-spin of Michael Clarke! Have you gone mad?
Picking him in the first place was a selectorial error tbh
Excellent point, I guess I have, and you also forgot to mention the most impressive of the bowling attack, the left arm Shane Warne.Whilst facing the magisterial talents of Mitchell Johnson and Peter Siddle? Not to mention the dangerous off-spin of Michael Clarke! Have you gone mad?
See this would be funny if Collingwood was currently averaging more than 15 against said bowlers.Whilst facing the magisterial talents of Mitchell Johnson and Peter Siddle? Not to mention the dangerous off-spin of Michael Clarke! Have you gone mad?
Fighting for peace is like screwing for virginity.
Too many bones, not enough CASH!!

can't help but think you guys are forgetting someone
With a first class bowling average of 39 Michael Hussey is a man to fear
WAFG.
Galle, the CB series, his century at Edgbaston against the Saffies when he was in the last chance saloon, Cardiff, Centurion and Cape Town will never be forgotten.
In terms of overall fielding always thought he was a rung below ABDV, Ponting and Symonds but second only to Rhodes in my time taking spectacular catches.
So wrong it is ridiculous. Solanki was too loose for international cricket. Lots of shots but no bottle and brain.
