Collingwood is a player of immense dedication and application. He will score more runs than many players with twice his ability. Any success that comes his way should be applauded, not sneered at.
I agree. At the end of that what matters is how successful a player is. Different players get there in differnt ways. To be mocking at somebody because he is not a flashy stroke maker or a so called "personality" is totally losing the point. There are many who don't think that Steve Waugh was as talented as some of his illustrious peers but the score board shows otherwise. Same with the likes of Allan Border.
