If there was one regret about Reid’s 16-year international career, it was that he played before the era of one-day matches. His diverse skills and powerful hitting would have made him even more of a sensation in the limited-overs game. Among many achievements, Reid scored a 68-minute century against Orange Free State in 1962. He played in 58 tests for New Zealand for a total of 3428 runs at an average of 33.28 and scored six centuries, with a highest of 142 against South Africa. He took 85 wickets in tests at an average of 33.35 with a best of 6-60, against South Africa in 1964. As a wicketkeeper for New Zealand, he was responsible for 13 dismissals. Reid later was a New Zealand selector, coached successfully in South Africa, and became one of the International Cricket Council’s match referees. Return to the Inductee list
