Some Famous People called Pedro Collins
Pedro Collins
Pedro Tyrone Collins (born August 12, 1976 in Boscobelle, St. Peter, Barbados) is a West Indian cricketer. He holds the record for getting Sachin Tendulkar out on duck in Tests twice, the maximum by any bowler.
He is the half brother of Fidel Edwards. He is one of the very few left-handed seam bowlers who have had a chance to represent the West Indies cricket team. His bowling also is more dependent upon tidiness of line and length than the usual hit-the-deck kind of bowlers who have dominated Caribbean cricket. He shot to fame after getting Sachin Tendulkar out thrice during the 2001-02 India West Indies Test series, twice for a duck. Despite a decent Test record of 106 wickets at 34.13 he did not manage to secure a regular place in recent West Indies teams but was included in the 2007 World Twenty20 squad. In 2007 he signed a two-year contract with Surrey as a Kolpak player which placed his West Indies future in doubt, he left at the end of that deal.
On 30 March 2010 Middlesex announced his signing for the 2010 season.
