JOHN REID (New Zealand/Wellington/1930 to 1964)
381148.html


Test Runs (RHB): 3428 @ 33.28, 6 x 100
Test Wickets (RH Medium/Off-Spin): 85 @ 33.35
Catches: 43

A super allrounder, John Reid was born a generation too soon, for he retired in 1965 before one-day international matches were started. Reid would have been a one-day team on his own - a batsman with thunderous strokes, a rapacious fielder especially at gully or cover, a bowler of what became known as right-arm bursters which ranged from modest off-cutters to snarling bouncers. Reid also fitted in some stand-in wicketkeeping.

BOB SIMPSON (Australia/Western Australia/1930 to 1964)

7618.html


Test Runs (RHB): 4869 @ 46.81, 10 x 100s, HS: 311
Test Wickets (Leg-Break Googly): 71 @ 42.2, 2 x 5fer
Catches: 110


A key figure in Australian cricket for more than four decades, as cricketer, captain, coach and commentator, Bob Simpson first toured with Australia in 1957-58 as an allrounder, bowling legbreaks and fielding infallibly at slip. He subsequently became a first-rate opening batsman, although it wasn't until his 30th Test, by which time he had succeeded to the captaincy, that he first posted a Test hundred. He made this breakthrough innings at Old Trafford count, by turning it into 311 in almost 13 hours. In all he made 1381 Test runs in 1964, a record at the time. Hard-bitten and immensely dedicated, he steadily rationalised his repertoire of strokes, eschewing the hook, but excelling as an acquirer of singles; Australia has had no more productive an opening pairing than Simpson and Bill Lawry.
