Richard Bruce Reid (born 3 December 1958) is a former New Zealand international cricketer, who played nine One Day Internationals between 1988 and 1991. His father, John Reid, played Test cricket for New Zealand from 1949 to 1965. [1]

Life and career

Reid was born in Lower Hutt, Wellington. He attended Scots College, Wellington, where he captained the first XI. [2] He had two moderately successful seasons with the Wellington cricket team before going to Johannesburg, where his parents were living. [3]

Reid taught physical education and mathematics at St John's College in Johannesburg and played one first-class cricket match for Transvaal B. Later he worked for Nike in South Africa. In the mid-1980s, after visiting the New Zealand cricketers who were touring Zimbabwe in October 1984, he decided to return to New Zealand and resume his cricket career. [3]

Reid settled in Auckland in 1985 and played with some success for the Auckland cricket team. He acted as liaison officer with the touring Australian team in 1986. [3] He married Debbie Kittow in April 1989. [3]

In 1990 Reid returned to Wellington to work as a sales representative for Nike New Zealand. [3] Opening the batting in one-day matches for Wellington, he was the highest scorer in the 1990–91 Shell Cup competition, with 348 runs at an average of 69.60 and a scoring rate of 109.77 runs per 100 balls faced. [4] He was included in the New Zealand team for the World Series in Australia that season, and was New Zealand's top-scorer in the second final with 64. [5] A few days later he was the top-scorer on either side with 47 from 44 balls when Wellington won the final of the Shell Cup. [6]

Reid's form fell away after that season and he played no more international cricket. His last season of domestic cricket was 1991–92. [3]

Reid worked as chief executive officer of Nike New Zealand until 2001, when he began a career in cricket and rugby administration. [7]
