Basil Duck Reed (8 November 1895 - 12 October 1968) was an English first-class cricketer and Royal Navy officer.
Reed was born in November 1895 at Malmesbury, Wiltshire. He began serving in the Royal Navy in July 1913 as a clerk,[1] before becoming a paymaster. He was serving as a sub lieutenant assistant-paymaster in December 1917. He made a single appearance in first-class cricket for the Royal Navy against the British Army cricket team at Lord's in 1921.[2] Batting twice in the match, Reed ended the Royal Navy first-innings not out on 8, while in their second-innings he was dismissed without scoring by Tom Jameson. He took a single wicket in the match, dismissing Francis Brooke in the Army's first-innings, finishing with match figures of 1 for 83.[3] He made his debut in minor counties cricket for Wiltshire against Dorset in the 1921 Minor Counties Championship, and made three further appearances in 1923.[4] He was promoted from the rank of lieutenant commander to paymaster commander in January 1935, retaining that rank until at least August 1939.[5] He died in October 1968 at Wroughton, Wiltshire.
