Atkins was a middle-order batsman and excellent fieldsman in the outfield, praised in 1896 for his "brilliancy and cat-like dash".[3] He captained Queensland on several occasions, including the closely fought match against New South Wales in Sydney in 1902-03 when he made his two highest scores, 82 and 60.[4] He and his wife Emily had three children.[5]
