In a Junior House match between Clarkes House (now Poole's) and North Town, at Clifton College, Bristol, 22–23, 26–28 Jun 1899, Arthur Edward Jeanne Collins (1885–1914) scored an unprecedented 628 not out in 6hr 50min, over five afternoons batting, carrying his bat through the innings of 836. The scorer, E. W. Pegler, gave the score as '628–plus or minus 20, shall we say.' The match was a 'no time' one which as was the custom would be played to a finish. Collins, captain of Clark's House, won the toss and elected to bat. On first day he finished on 200*. On second day, he was dropped on 400. Finished second day on 509*. End of third day (having given another chance on 566) 598*. Final wicket fell on 836. He had scored as follows: 146 boundaries (then worth just 2 runs), run a six, four fives, 30 fours and 36 threes plus the rest. North Town scored just 148 in their two innings and Collins took 11-63. Collins died on 11 Nov 1914 on the first day of the Battle of Ypres. (The Guardian 21June 1999)
