John Reid, captain of the BCs and leader in our first three test victories, died today. I never got to see him play live but listened to lots of innings on the radio back in the early to mid-60s. What an absolute legend. Brenda McCullum was a very similar sort of cricketer.
RIP
John R Reid Dies

News coming thru that one of NZ's cricketing greats, ex-captain John Reid has died aged 92.
That's a great innings captain. Retire in peace

I love the general description of him today - The Colin Meads of NZ Cricket.
