As a fast-medium bowler, Pedro Collins has bowled
alongside genuine pacemen like Curtly Ambrose, Courtney Walsh and
Ian Bishop, but without the kind of stamina required to sustain long
spells. Collins was a keen footballer before he fell into cricket,
and his left-arm bowling follows the lineage of Bernard Julien and
Garry Sobers, and he finds enough swing into the right-hander to
cause the best batsmen difficulty. In November 1998 he took three
wickets in 11 balls for West Indies A against India, a spell which
led to his Test debut against Australia the following March. For a
long time after that, he was best remembered for an injury of the
cruellest kind, when a Jason Gillespie delivery trapped a testicle
outside his box. He worked on his fitness, though, and he returned
to the side in 2001-02, with a higher arm action and an extra yard
of pace. He took just nine wickets in West Indies' series victory
over India, but claimed the prize scalp of Sachin Tendulkar on three
occasions. He struggled on India's flat pitches, though, before
terrorising Bangladesh in 2002-03. What followed was a
less-than-enchanting outing against Australia, and Collins didn't
play for close to a year. But he returned to take on England in
March 2004, and within six balls, removed Michael Vaughan, before
taking three more wickets, to herald a successful return to the
side. He is now a regular part of a young West Indian pace attack,
which includes Fidel Edwards, his half-brother
