Douglas James Reid (born 17 October 1928) is a former cricketer who played seven matches of first-class cricket for Canterbury in New Zealand from 1953 to 1957.
Reid was born in Christchurch and educated at Christchurch Boys' High School. He became a quantity surveyor.[1]
A left-arm opening bowler, Reid's best first-class figures were 4 for 58 against Otago in the 1953–54 Plunket Shield.[2]
Reid and his wife Toni Reid (the daughter of the All Black Read Masters) both represented Canterbury in cricket in the 1950s.[3] They married in Merivale, Christchurch, in February 1954.[4] On the death of Bill Crump on 10 July 2022, Reid became the oldest living New Zealand first-class cricketer.[5] [6]
