I was there and it was incredible. They didn't win that match, but it was that sort of fielding early on in the series that separated the sides. That positive intensity and atmosphere had a whole lot to do with the English retaining the Ashes in Australia.
Australia were woeful in the field due to uncertainty with the team and selectors and that carried over to their batting, bowling and decision making.
colly took the best catch ever in the 2005 natwest series and he will never match it (or anyone else for that matter) though he almost took the same catch again in the 2007 world cup against West Indies
Would agree that this is far from the best catch ever. I don't think it's even his best catch against Australia, I reckon that his catch in the ODI's against Australia back in 2005 was better.
I agree fantastic catch - but he's taken two better against the Aussies alone, IMHO best was Matty Hayden in ODI in 2005 ODI you can see it on youtube, search "Paul Collingwood-best catch in cricket history "
@bennet1980 wow, nice try. Is this what you do to any one who has a conflicting opinion? Have a little go at them. Why dont you post just about every cricket catch on you tube, because really, they are all super human right? I stand by my opinion, great catch but certainly not 'the best catch ever'. You see these catches all the time. Now if you will excuse me I have to go back under my bridge to devour some fat while I try to get it up ;)
I am an Indian lad, and while we have a series going on parallel to the Ashes, I must confess that I was more clued into the battle down under, than in south africa. words can't express my joy. the poms have got the better of the aussies. let the whole cricketing world rejoice! well played, you magnificent lads.
that was brilliant.........thanks for everything Paul you have been a much under rated cricketer for England and one of the finest fielders of all time.

agree, very good catch. Leave it there though because it is a dime a dozen. If he didnt catch that we would be saying 'what a wasted opportunity". he did his job. Its an insult to 'the best catch I have ever seen'
@thenakkaz i should inform your eminence, the all pervading judge of timing, reflex, and safe hands, that the mans reaction time would've been in the milli seconds. but that obviously would be a joke for you because you clearly would've caught this while munching on a sandwich and scratching your crotch, 'cause you're obviously that good. but then again, why are you not playing professional cricket? is it because, in reality, you are just a huge, fat devouring, obese, impotent, internet troll?
Clearly 4 Australian's have watched this..

That series was the coming of age for this side.
I hope you thrash India.

Maybe the best catch ever by a pom... but Aussies take those sort of catches every day. ;)
Don't think much of Ricky's shot there though, looks like the sort of shot a number 11 might play when he was badly out of form.

@CoolStoryBrosauce - didn't take that many in the Ashes series , did they? This was the ONLY match where you bowled England out twice!
BTW it's not even Collingwood's best catch
