A FIRST FOR ENGLAND

2010: England v Australia, Bridgetown

Eoin Morgan may have revolution­ised England’s white-ball cricket, but a less flamboyant Paul Collingwoo­d led the country to its first global title before the former took over as captain. Fittingly, it was Collingwoo­d who scored the winning runs in the final against familiar opponent, Australia, which could only make 147 for six. Interestin­gly, Morgan was at the non-striking end. But the job had nearly been accomplish­ed by opener Craig Kieswetter, who hit a 49-ball 63 and added 111 for the second-wicket with fellow South-african born Kevin Pietersen (47, 31b).
