10 best players of all time from Western Austalia

8 Bruce Reid

It is indeed a pity that one of the best fast bowlers to have emerged out of Western Australia had his promising international career cut short due to injuries, and if that had not happened, Bruce Reid could well have gone on to achieve much more.

He debuted for Australia in 1985 when the rebuilding process was in full swing, but Reid impressed everyone with his accuracy and the ability to bring the ball back into the right-handed batsmen.

In 27 Tests, played over a period of around 7 years, he picked up 113 wickets at an average of only 24.63 and it is a bit of a shame that his body could not cope with the demands of top-level cricket. For Western Australia, he picked up 250 wickets in only 96 first-class games and averaged 26.63.
