boris collingwood

boris esmond collingwood , born at hither green , london on 8 january 1920 and died at storrington , west sussex on 18 november 1968 , played first-class cricket in two matches , one each for cambridge university and somerset .
a schoolboy first-eleven cricketer at dulwich college for four seasons before the second world war and captain in 1939 , collingwood was 28 before the first of his first-class appearances for cambridge came in the 1948 season .
he also played for the university once in a non-first-class match that season .
five years later , he turned out once for somerset , at the time a very weak team , in a match at weston-super-mare against nottinghamshire .
he made 15 and 1 as somerset subsided to an innings defeat in two days .
