Sarah Victoria Collyer (born 3 October 1980) is an English cricketer who appeared for the England women's cricket team on 32 occasions between 1998 and 2003. An all-rounder, she made her debut for England in a Women's One Day International cricket match against Australia in July 1998.[1] She was a medium-paced swing bowler, and made her international debut at the age of 17,[1] having been playing county cricket since July 1995.[2] A month after her ODI debut, she made her first Test match appearance, taking one wicket against Australia.[3] Her first wicket came in her sixth match, against India in July 1999.[4] Her best performance for England came during the 2000 Women's Cricket World Cup, when she took five wickets against the Netherlands,[1] though they were considered weak opposition for England.[5] Two years later, she and Kathryn Leng were removed from the side, and stripped of their National Lottery funding, when they went on "an unauthorised holiday to Tenerife".[1][6] During the English winter of 2002–3, she played domestic cricket in Australia for Western Australia. She returned to the England team in early 2003, but after a back problem forced her to undergo surgery, she did not play for England again. Her final international appearance was a Test match against Australia in late February 2003.[1] She played domestic cricket for Cheshire in 2005.[2] She completed her career with 24 wickets in ODI cricket at an average of 29.33, and 8 wickets in Test cricket at 50.62. She scored a century in domestic cricket for Cheshire, against Hampshire in 1998.[7]
