Norman Reid

Norman Reid (26 December 1890 – 5/6 June 1947) was a South African cricketer who played one Test match for South Africa in 1921.

Born in Cape Town, Reid was educated at Diocesan College in Rondebosch and at Oriel College, Oxford, where he was awarded a rugby union Blue in 1912 and 1913. He was selected for the Third and final Test that began on the same ground four days later and made 17 runs and took two wickets. It was his only Test. His most successful first-class match came in Western Province's Currie Cup victory over Orange Free State later that season, when he scored 38 not out and 81 not out (the highest score in the match) and took 1 for 29 and 3 for 43.

Reid died in June 1947 in what his Wisden obituary described as "tragic circumstances". Later research by Brian Bassano and David Frith revealed that Reid was murdered by his wife who suffered from mental health problems and later took her own life.
