John Reid still lies 12th in NZ’s Test batting aggregates. The other eleven players all started their Test careers after Reid had finished, apart from Bevan Congdon, who started his in the same year as Reid’s last. A true pioneer of NZ Test cricket

Remember, New Zealand didn’t win a series in their first 39 years. Reid was their talisman and captain, “I used to tell some terrible lies – how we are going to win this one and win that one, knowing damn well that we wouldn’t.”

Sad to hear of the passing of John Reid. A colossus of NZ cricket, in 58 Tests between 1949 and 1965 he scored 3428 runs at 33.28 and also took 85 wickets at 33.35, a remarkable achievement given the relative weakness of the sides he led at that time pic

Rest in peace, John Reid
Former NZ skipper and all-rounder who later became a match referee
Retired with the most matches, runs, wickets, catches in Tests for NZ at the time
Coming in at 2 down vs Ind at Calcutta in ’65, he hit 4 sixes off the first 10 balls he faced!

So sad to hear of the death of John Reid who for many years carried New Zealand cricket. He held the record for the highest number of 6s in an innings for about 30 years. A good and brave man.
