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. A left-arm opening bowler, Reid's best performance was 4 for 58 against Otago in 1953–54.[1]
Reid and his wife Toni Reid (the daughter of the All Black Read Masters) both represented Canterbury in cricket in the 1950s.[2] They married in Merivale, Christchurch, in February 1954.[3] On the death of Bill Crump on 10 July 2022, Reid became the oldest living New Zealand first-class cricketer.[4][5]
