Richard Reid

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.

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

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. 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. 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.

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