Favourite quote: What's the point in 'O' levels. They don't help you play Cricket! (Ian Botham).
The shorter of the two Collins brothers Andrew was elected to the captaincy of the Corinthian Jedi when he boldly stated he knew the rules.
A batsman of prodigious talent Taz attempts to impart his wisdom to others with his stock line of 'play yourself in don't slog it.' Ever a man to lead by example Taz in the game against Crows nest 2 played himself in by clubbing 24 in the first over faced which included a 6.
It is the bowling action which can only be described as unique that has led to the nickname Taz. Andrew following a childhood injury (when he was dropped by his brother) has been left with a unique brain anomaly. Which manifests itself as a vertical jump followed by rapid extension of all his limbs before control is restored. Until recently doctors were mystified by the condition and believed that it was attributable to the conduction of static electricity from space.
Early attempts by the family to control the problem led to some curious looks in public
One of natures wonders this explosive power has been tamed by Taz and harnessed into a devastating delivery action. So powerful that several members of the opposition having faced one of Taz's deliveries have been heard to say 'What the @$*! was that.'
His greatest sporting moment came at Trent Bridge whilst shouting "Sumo" at MervHughes in an ashes match. When Merv came over to remonstrate with the crowd Taz pointed out his grandfather as the culprit.
