Buddy Reid attended St. Thomas' College, Mount Lavinia, and the University of Colombo, where he studied medicine. He made his first-class debut for the Ceylon Board President's XI in a Gopalan Trophy match against Madras in March 1964, batting at number three and scoring 46 (the innings top score) and 22 in a six-wicket victory.[1]
He played in most of Ceylon's matches for the next six years, usually opening the batting and occasionally bowling leg-breaks. He was selected to tour England with the Ceylon team in 1968, but the tour was cancelled just before it was due to begin.[2]
He captained Ceylon against MCC in 1968–69, making his highest score, 50 not out, in the second innings.[3] The previous season he had taken his best bowling figures, 4 for 19, for Ceylon Transport Board in the Moin-ud-Dowlah Gold Cup Tournament.[4]
He and his wife, daughter and son moved to Australia, where he continued to practise medicine.
Reid also represented Ceylon and Australia at table tennis.[5] He was Ceylon's national men's singles champion in 1959, 1960 and 1962, and doubles champion six times.[6] In 2016 he became the World Over-75 Table Tennis Champion, winning the singles title in Alicante, Spain.[7] He added the World Over-75 doubles title in Las Vegas in 2018, when he teamed with Australian team-mate Igor Klaf.[8]
