[1] Ray Reynolds was educated at Brisbane Church of England Grammar School.
[2] Five feet six inches tall, he was a "patient batsman with good concentration ... a neat stroke-player with a sound defensive technique".
He missed the first two matches in 1956–57, but returned to the side to open the batting and finished the season with 371 runs at an average of 53.00,[4] including his first century, 110 not out against South Australia after Queensland had followed on.
His season included three centuries, with his highest score of 203 not out against South Australia, when he batted throughout an innings of 452 for 8 declared; but he also twice made a pair.
[7] Reynolds returned for one last season with Queensland in 1963–64, scoring more heavily than ever, with 815 runs at 58.21, four centuries, and an opening partnership of 256 with Trimble against South Australia.
