Bruce Donald Morrison (born 17 December 1933, Lower Hutt) is a former New Zealand cricketer. ==Career highlights== Morrison, who bowled right arm medium pace but was a left-handed tail-end batsman〔(Cricinfo - Players and Officials - Bruce Morrison )〕 first appeared for his local side, Hutt Valley, in an away game at Nelson in the Hawke Cup (25–27 December 1951).〔(Cricket Archive )〕 Aged 20, he made his first class debut for Wellington v Otago at the Basin Reserve on 7 January 1954. There, he made an immediate impact, taking 4-70 in Otago’s first innings and then a splendid 7-42 in their second (although Otago won a thriller by 3 runs 〔(Cricket Archive )〕). In his next game he repeated his fine form, taking 5-60 v Auckland at Eden Park and scoring 33 not out with the bat.〔(Cricket Archive )〕 He finished the season with 22 wickets at an average of only 16.68.〔(Cricket Archive )〕 The following season Morrison bowled consistently, but failed to make the headlines that he had done in his debut season. The highlight was undoubtedly Wellington's tour match against the MCC, when he picked up the prize wickets of England legends Trevor Bailey, Bill Edrich and Colin Cowdrey at the Basin Reserve.〔(Cricket Archive )〕 Ultimately, it was a disappointing season: Morrison finished well down the bowling averages, with just 16 wickets at nearly 30 apiece.〔(Cricket Archive )〕 1955-56 was a better season overall, with 7-68 v Central Districts being the stand out performance,〔(Cricket Archive )〕 and a final haul of 24 wickets for the season. While the 1956-57 season was good (15 wickets at just 20.93 apiece) it wasn’t until 1960-61 (11 wickets at 17.81), 1961-62 (16 wickets at 18.93) and especially 1962-63 (27 wickets at 20.55, including 5-41 against Otago at Carisbrook, Dunedin〔(Cricket Archive )〕) that he recaptured his early-career form. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Bruce Morrison (cricketer)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
