Wood, wearing a koala hat, clocked an impressive 2 minutes 9 seconds on the timer, beating Stokes’ tally by five seconds. Yet, he couldn’t come close to matching Collingwood’s timing of 2 minutes and 31 seconds.
Wood posted the video on Instagram, tagging Stokes, who had nominated Collingwood for the challenge, claiming that his effort wasn’t a bad one, considering his thin arms.

“There you go @stokesy @paulcollingwood5, not a bad effort from the noodle arms,” the post read.
Collingwood, however, was more amused by Wood’s headgear, replying, “Love the hat.”
With knee and side injuries having troubled him all summer and forced him out of the Ashes, Wood’s effortless attempt at the challenge would have put a smile on his fans’ faces.
