Collingwood: I became very nervous

"People sometimes think we are robots and don't have emotions and nerves don't get to us but believe me the closer you get to winning the Ashes the more nervous you become.” England batsman Paul Collingwood said

"I never drop catches like the one off (Michael) Hussey. When it went down I thought 'please don't let it be the catch that dropped the Ashes'," Collingwood was quoted as saying 'The Daily Telegraph'.

"I know I am going to have to tinker a bit with technique and become a better player to be able to stay in the side. But I am willing to do that. I am still at an age when I am enjoying my cricket," Collingwood said.

"Look at my stats, they have been good. I would have loved to have played a lot better in last few Tests but the innings in Cardiff went a long way to winning these Ashes.
