Life and career

[edit]

Reed made his first-class debut for Hampshire in 1958 against Cambridge University. It was seven years before he represented Hampshire again in 1965, making his County Championship debut against Lancashire. Reed represented Hampshire in 122 first-class matches from 1965 to 1970, with his final appearance for the county coming against Nottinghamshire. Reed also played one-day cricket for Hampshire, with his one-day debut coming in the 1966 Gillette Cup against Lincolnshire. From 1966 to 1972, Reed played 32 one day matches for Hampshire, with his final one-day game coming against Kent in the 1972 John Player League.

In his 122 first-class matches for the county, Reed scored 4,910 runs at a batting average of 24.30, with 29 half centuries, 2 centuries and a high score of 138 against Oxford University in 1970.[2] In addition he took 57 catches in the field. In Reed's 32 one-day matches for the county he scored 900 runs at a batting average of 36.00, with 1 half century, 2 centuries and a high score 143* against Buckinghamshire in 1970, a month after he hit his highest first-class score.[3]

In addition to playing first-class matches for Hampshire, Reed also represented the Marylebone Cricket Club in a single first-class match in 1966 against Ireland on the Marylebone Cricket Club's tour of Ireland.

Reed died on 2 July 2024, at the age of 86.[4]
