Timeline

Adam Collins is an Australian Cricket journalist and broadcaster.

2012

He also worked on the London 2012 Olympic Games and 2012 Paralympic Games organising committees.

2015

After trialling working in journalism in 2015 and then going full time, Collins has written for publications such as Cricbuzz, The Cricket Paper, The Evening Standard, The Independent, ABC, The Daily Telegraph, the Cricinfo website and Wisden Cricket Monthly.

2017

Collins won the 2017 NRMA Kennedy Award for Outstanding Sports Reporting for a David Warner front page exclusive in the Sydney Morning Herald in which, during a pay dispute, Warner revealed Cricket Australia wouldn't have a team for the upcoming Ashes series if they didn't meet the players demands.

Collins was part of the world feed commentary team for the 2017 Women's Cricket World Cup and for ABC Radio Grandstand for the 2017 Border-Gavaskar Trophy series.

2018

In 2018 however, with no official broadcaster taking them, Collins bought the radio rights to the Australian national Cricket team Test match series against Pakistan for a five-figure sum.

He hired Geoff Lemon as a co-commentator, with Brendan Julian, Mike Hussey and Bazid Khan as pundits, and struck a deal to stream the commentary on the Wisden website.

Collins said to the Sports Gazette “I realised I had the means at my disposal, albeit on the credit card, I’m not going to pretend I’m wealthy, I’m not.

I knew there was a way of monetising it, commercialising it.

I had a confidence we’d be able to secure the money back once we got the rights and once we had paid for all the talent, which was a very expensive process with my limited amount of money.” Collins has since continued to call ball by ball Cricket commentaries for the likes of Talksport, Middlesex County Cricket Club, Test Match Special, and has also called international Cricket in West Indies, Sri Lanka, and Bangladesh.

For Sky Television in the UK, Collins has commented on men’s and Women's Test Cricket and One Day Internationals, whilst also featuring as a guest on Sky television shows such as Cricket Writers on TV, The Debate & The Cricket Show, as well as BBC Breakfast and BBC News.

With Cricbuzz, Collins has been hosting video analysis since 2018 Harsha Bhogle and Michael Vaughan.

Collins initially cut his teeth on radio via the short lived cult classic show 'Believe The Hype' on Melbourne's SYNFM 90.7.

Collins had helped create the guerilla Cricket commentary website White Line Wireless with Geoff Lemon, amongst others, which Collins described as “alternative, quite sweary and silly”.

In 2019 Collins and Geoff Lemon made a short mockumentary entitled The Holy Ground about Ben Stokes trip to Mbargo nightclub in Bristol.

In 2019 Collins was commenting for SEN on the denouement to the 2019 Cricket World Cup Final at Lord's between England and New Zealand which he described as a career highlight.

He also co-hosted The Greatest Season That Was with Daniel Brettig and Shannon Gill.

The 2021 Wisden Almanack fulsomely praised Collins work describing Calling The Shots as “a slick history of Cricket broadcasting that revealed, with Reithian ideals, everything from Brian Johnston’s conflict with Andy Pandy to Cricinfo’s battles with bankruptcy, and Big Brother.

It cemented Collins’s standing as the doyen: his other shows, The Final Word (with Geoff Lemon) and The Greatest Season That Was (with Dan Brettig and Shannon Gill) maintained exceptional standards."

Collins is a supporter of Hawthorn Football Club.

He commented on the positive impact watching Victoria and Australia cricketer Dean Jones had on him as a youngster.
