Paul Collingwood
Drafted in for the final Test in place of the injured Simon Jones, Paul Collingwood didn't have a great outing with the bat as he was dismissed for not much in both innings. However, his international career since then was nothing short of extraordinary as he finished as England's leading run-scorer in ODIs and player with most appearances in the format too, along with being a three-time Ashes winner.
Before calling time on his international career, which spanned 300 games, in 2011, Collingwood would have plenty of highs. When he wasn't saving Tests with the bat or taking brilliant catches on the field, Collingwood captained his country and to this date remains the only England skipper to have won a World title, which he claimed courtesy of his 2010 World T20 title.
He still plays domestic cricket for his county, Durham, at the age of 40 and his undeniable grit and determination to score, shows no signs of abating. He has also coached Scotland and has been a consultant with England as well.
