Shame on you for knowing that.Yeah I came to know of him just a few days ago.
Three worthy contendersHaving Tough time deciding whom to place among Carl Hooper, Heath Streak and Steve Waugh…
Beefy 🥲
Many people rate Johnson highly because of his 1999 WC .So we are rating a player with only 48 games and 35 wickets ahead of players with 150+ games (including one of only two who have ever scored a ton and taken a 5fer in one game)? What's going on?
In fairness some would consider Collingwood to be only a part-time bowler with 0.56 wpm and 38.68 average?So we are rating a player with only 48 games and 35 wickets ahead of players with 150+ games (including one of only two who have ever scored a ton and taken a 5fer in one game)?

Is he that far off Jayasuriya (0.72wpm; ave 36.75) and Viv (0.63wpm; ave 35.79)? That pair made our Top 10 while Collingwood looks unlikely to figure in the Top 20 on current voting.In fairness Collingwood could be considered only a part-time bowler with 0.56 wpm and 38.68 average. Those numbers just don't cut for me as an allrounder (more of a good batsman that bowls a bit)
He had a shoulder injury and it took him a while to get back into his bowlingTaking a closer look Collingwood bowled in most games except for a weird 18 months between Jan 2003 and July 2004. He played 20 games and only bowled in 2 of those games (5 overs total). Wondering if he was injured?
Neil Johnson 1999 World CupSo we are rating a player with only 48 games and 35 wickets ahead of players with 150+ games (including one of only two who have ever scored a ton and taken a 5fer in one game)? What's going on?
I really think some of you guys need to rate World Cup more. Performing in the biggest stage is much more valuable than in a trophy no one cares for or a bilateral against a string 2 team. Not saying it's all, but hardly any great allrounders are left and Collingwood I don't feel is one of them. Viv is the best ODI batter and Jaya had a super long career which he began as a bowler, and a top 20 bat. Collingwood was just an above average bat who was a handy bowler.Thought this was who are best ODI allrounders of all time, not who had a good World Cup one time![]()
No doubting his longevity. His early batting was ordinary and, after he earned his spot as a batsman his bowling fell away. Was never a great all rounder at the one time.I really think some of you guys need to rate World Cup more.

In the mid 90s to early 2000s he was one of the World's top openers and an extremely useful bowler. Probably not an ATG allrounder, but I do think people with really long career should really not be judged on raw numbersNo doubting his longevity.
