William Edmund Wood Collins (16 June 1848 – 7 January 1932) was a Welsh first-class cricketer and author.
[3] He did not feature in first-class cricket for Oxford University, at a time when the side was dominated by players from Brasenose College.
[4] Held in high regard by C. I. Thornton, Collins was invited by him to play for Lord Londesborough's XI against the touring Australians at the festival.
[1][4] In the Lord Londesborough's XI first-innings total of 558, Collins came into bat at number eleven, scoring 56 runs.
[7] Away from playing cricket, Collins was a regular contributor to Blackwood's Magazine and published two works of fiction set in Oxford: The Don and the Undergraduate (1899) and A Scholar of his College (1900).
