A. E. J. Collins/scorecard
Captain Arthur Edward Jeune (James) Collins (18 August 1885–11 November 1914), typically known by his initials [Collins|AEJ Collins], was a cricketer and soldier, most famous for his achievement, as a schoolboy, of the highest-ever recorded score in cricket, 628 not out, over four afternoons in June 1899. Collins' record-making innings drew a large crowd and increasing media interest: spectators at the Old Cliftonian match being played nearby were drawn away to watch a junior school house cricket match.
