Paul Collingwood's aggressive captaincy helped England net their first International cricket Council title in thirty five years
England wins. England wins. England finally wins a world cricket title and what an emphatic victory it was over their arch rivals Australia.
England beat Australia at their own game; they played aggressively, confidently and every time their opponent looked like climbing off the canvas they delivered another hefty punch. A century partnership between Craig Kieswetter and Kevin Pietersen put England on the path to victory and when they perished in pursuit of a quick kill the win was appropriately clinched by an equally belligerent Paul Collingwood.
Right from the start the Englishman came to play, led by the inspirational Collingwood. His aggressive captaincy helped England net two wickets early on; he had a slip in place and Graeme Swann grabbed the rebound when the keeper couldn't hang on to Shane Watson's edge.
