Top 10 New Zealand middle order batsmen of all time

#9 John Reid

The right-hander played 58 Test matches for New Zealand between 1949 and 1965 and in 56 of those Tests, he batted in the middle-order.

John Reid batted at number 4 or 5 for the majority of his career and was known as an attacking batsman, who had the penchant of going for his strokes at most times. It is often said that had Reid played when one-day internationals became more popular, then he would have gone on to become one of its most well-known players.

Anyway, he did not do too badly as a Test batsman either. He made 3300 runs for New Zealand while batting in the middle-order and recorded an average of 34.37. Reid made 6 centuries and 21 half-centuries.
