Got to say I'm not too keen on "gritty". HOT is better.

Perhaps this is the goad to which all test failures should be exposed, [the ones who don’t excel when back in their counties anyway]. Except for Mikey who should have a named vat awaiting right now!

He was in terrible form and didn't look like making runs. Now he's made some. We couldn't say if he was the best option at number six from now on, but he's certainly a better bet than he was yesterday morning. Colingwood has always been a Test quality batsman.

I still think it was an odd decision to being him back into the side, but fair play to the chap for an outstanding innings under severe pressure. Shame he didn't make hundreds in all his other innings that seemed likely to be his last... Does this mean he’s now a better batsman than he was two days ago?

But if i went on lots of dates, with lots of lovely ladies, i think i would get lucky and enjoy a night of passion at least once. Though that is not to say i am a casanova. Paul Collingwood, getting a hundred after being given a fair few chances, does not mean he is still a top quality test batsmen. I still say get rid of him, at least for the winter tours.
