Talk:A. E. J. Collins

message: Just a note to say that Wisden said of the match:
"A Junior house match at Clifton College, begun on Thursday, June 22, 1899, and completed on the following Wednesday, is noteworthy for having produced the greatest score known to have been made by a single player in a game of any description. The hero of the occasion, A. E. J. Collins, was batting for six hours and fifty minutes, his innings being continued in unequal instalments during five days. His hits included a 6, four 5s, thirty-one 4s, thirty-three 3s and 146 2s. The previous best score was that of A. E. Stoddart, who made 485 for the Hampstead Club against the Stoics in 1886. It is remarkable that it was in a Clifton College game that E. F. S. Tylecote made his score of 404 in 1868."
Wisden then gave the scorecard (without bowling analysis).
I'm not sure that this adds anything to what's in the article (clearly the writer of the Wisden Cricinfo article would have been aware of what Wisden said). However, if you do want to use it, the reference is "Wisden Anthology 1864-1900, edited by Benny Green ISBN-0-356-10732-9". Kind regards, jguk 08:00, 11 Feb 2005 (UTC)

message: With all respect to the speaker who obviously tried his best, the quality of the spoken audio file is rather poor. Lots of distortion in the background. Perhaps someone with better recording equipment can give this another try. --Peripatetic 18:17, 27 August 2005 (UTC)

message: Re this edit,   according to the  scorecard only one Fuller-Eberle played in the match. His first name was Victor according to his (Eberle's) Wisden obit and the Tim Rice article. Tintin (talk) 05:01, 22 September 2006 (UTC)

message: Per the Hindustan Times, ESPN and the Beeb, Collins's record no longer stands as of 4 January 2016. A 15-year-old from Mumbai called Pranav Dhanawade hit 652 not out off 199 balls that day for KC Gandhi School against Arya Gurukul School, then continued his innings the next day to finish with 1,009 runs from 323 balls. (His team declared on 1,465.) Poor Collins and poor Clifton College. —  Cliftonian (talk)  09:05, 5 January 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: Cricinfo's records page has also been updated to include Dhanawade's 1009*, knocking Collins's 628* down into second place. —  Cliftonian (talk)  09:07, 5 January 2016 (UTC)
