    "editor1": "<p>John Reid, the oldest surviving New Zealand cricketer, has died, New Zealand Cricket(NZC) confirmed on Wednesday.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Reid was considered one of the best all-rounders in the world in the 1950s and early 1960s.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>He was a hard-hitting right-handed batsman and a seam bowler who played 58 Test matches, scoring 3428 runs at 33.28. He took 85 wickets at 33.35. Of his six Test centuries, the highest - 142 - game against South Africa in 1961 during the Boxing Day Test at Johannesburg.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Reid played 246 first-class games, scoring 16,128 runs at 41.35, including 39 centuries. He took 466 wickets at 22.60.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>He led his country in 34 Tests including in New Zealand&#39;s first three victories, the first of which, against West Indies at Auckland in 1956, broke a winless streak of 26 years for the New Zealand team. The second and third both came during New Zealand&#39;s drawn series in South Africa in 1961-62.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>As a 19-year-old, Reid made his Test debut at Manchester on the 1949 tour of England, scoring 50 and 25; before standing in to keep wickets in the fourth and final Test, during which he scored 93 in his team&#39;s second innings.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Reid retired after the 1965 tour of England but returned to the United Kingdom only a few weeks later to captain the Rest of the World in two matches against England at Scarborough and Lord&#39;s.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>He was later a New Zealand selector, manager, and an ICC match referee.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>A private family service will be held for Reid, and a memorial service at the Basin Reserve in Wellington is being planned.<\/p>\r\n",
