298 matches, 9,708 runs across all formats
Paul Collingwood has accumulated 9,708 runs across 298 career appearances, averaging 35.43 with the bat. Add 150 wickets at an economy of 4.88 and the breadth of his contribution across formats becomes clear.
Test average of 40.53 is his personal peak
Across 63 Test matches, Collingwood averaged 40.53 with the bat, his strongest return in any format. He scored 3,931 Test runs from 8,277 balls faced, and his bowling economy of 3.25 in the longer game reflects how effectively he tied batters down.

Best numbers against South Africa and India

T20 Blast: productive with both bat and ball for Durham
In 53 T20 Blast appearances, Collingwood struck at 121.92 and took 39 wickets at a bowling average of 30.56. His economy of 7.20 in the format sits in a competitive range for a part-time option, and Riverside remains a ground where he has thrived.
