@Bovidae said in NZ cricket 2020:
2020 claims the other John Reid too. RIP.
Shit - sad news.
That's waaay too soon for John Reid the Younger.
Excellent player of spin and good enough to make a hundred against Australia in Brisbane!
Could have played many more tests for NZ if he'd wanted to.

I always put John Drake ( ex ab prop) and JF Reid in a category. Way unsung but incredibly useful, successful and valued by team-mates and those in the know. Retired too early as well
And now I add died too young to the category. Our cricket coming of age in 84/85 etc was in large part due to patient well constructed centuries from John Reid at first drop.
Best NZ player of spin ever
