John Reid: Obituary
Reid, who has died aged 92, was a giant of New Zealand cricket.
There had been outstanding players who preceded him, such as Stewie Dempster, Martin Donnelly and Jack Cowie, while Reid’s career ran parallel with that of Bert Sutcliffe, a wonderful left-handed batsman, still talked of in any discussion on New Zealand’s finest all-time batsmen.
But Reid was different. He was a terrific player, but he also led New Zealand to its first three Test wins, in days when they were scarce.
