One of the toughest grittiest Englishmen in our history. Always plays for the team, never for himself, and his contributions not only in the field, but his bowling and his batting, especially the times he's dug England out of trouble, is legendary.

He'll be missed in the Test Matches, but best wishes to him for the remainder of his ODI and T20 career.

He's been a legend for England. You'll be missed, Colly! Now take a blinder of a catch for the 10th wicket to seal your hero status.

Sorry to see you go Colly. You've given good service to England and some of the catches you've taken are just unbelievable.

Great that your still playing in the one dayers.

Great team man,brilliant fielder,great batting in tough times,and an underestimated bowler.Not an easy man to replace at all.All the best Colly

Bye Colly. You were, and still are, brilliant. Here's hoping you continue for many years in limited overs international cricket, because otherwise, the cricket world will seem a worse off place.
