An all-rounder, Collingwood is a tenacious player and natural stroke-maker.He is a player in the classical mould and plays his shots with a straight bat.He was born in May 26, 1976, Shotley Bridge, Co Durham.His bowling verges towards the dibbly-dobbly, but given the right conditions he can be irresistible, as he proved with a matchwinning display of swing bowling in the third one-day game against New Zealand in 2001-02.He duly won the prestigious Jack Ryder Medal, and came close to making an Ashes debut at Perth in 2002-03. However, despite his late role in the 2005 Ashes he still seemed destined to be a fill-in player.
