Encyclopedia > Bruce Reid

Bruce Anthony Reid (born March 14, 1963, Perth, Australia) is an Australian cricketer and bowling coach of the Indian national cricket team. March 14 is the 73rd day of the year in the Gregorian Calendar (74th in Leap years) with 292 days remaining in the year. ... 1963 (MCMLXIII) was a common year starting on Tuesday (link will take you to calendar). ... Perth is the capital city of Western Australia. ... A cricket match in progress. ... The Indian cricket team is a national cricket team representing India. ...


He represented Australia in Test match cricket between December 1985 and December 1992 and in One Day Internationals between January 1986 and March 1992. He played 27 Test matches for Australia taking 113 Test wickets at an average of 24.63 runs per wicket. He also played 61 one-day-internationals taking 63 ODI wickets. He played for Western Australia in the Sheffield Shield Test cricket is the longest form of the sport of cricket. ...

The Pura Cup (formerly known as the Sheffield Shield) is the domestic first class cricket competition in Australia. ...


His statistics are not extraordinary, but they do not tell the entire story. He was 6 feet 8 inches tall and along with Joel Garner, one of the tallest players ever to have played international cricket. Joel Garner (born December 16, 1952) also known as Big Joel or Big Bird, was a West Indian cricket player, and a member of the highly regarded late 70s and early 80s West Indies cricket sides. ...


He bowled left-arm fast-medium and had natural swing and awkard angle of delivery. Along with that, he achieved steepling bounce from his great height and was very accurate. But being very thin in built, he frequently broke down with injuries and was rarely fully fit. Injuries therefore limited his international appearances and his statistics undoubtedly would have read many more wickets next to his name. It was unfortunate for him and a loss to Australian cricket and fans around the world.


The lasting image of him for me was the poster of the Australian World Cup team of 1992 with everybody in yellow jerseys with Bruce Reid (lanky) and his West Australian team mate Tom Moody (6 ft 7 in (2.01 m) and powerfully built) towering over rest of the Australian team. Thomas Masson Moody (born October 2, 1965, Adelaide, South Australia) is a former Australian cricketer. ...


He is the cousin of John F. Reid.
