Capped For New Zealand
Morrison’s wicket-taking in 1962-63 led to his being called up to make his one and only test appearance as the 96th person capped by New Zealand in the 2nd test v the MCC at the Basin Reserve on 1–4 March 1963. England only batted once, winning by an innings, and Morrison was expensive, with his two wickets (Ted Dexter and Peter Parfitt, both in the same over) coming at a cost of 129 runs. He was not selected for the 3rd test.
Thereafter, Morrison played two more first class seasons for Wellington, with his final match being for Wellington v the Pakistanis in the tour fixture (4–6 January 1965). He returned to play for Hutt Valley until he retired after the game against Northland in December 1967.
His first class career total was 167 wickets at an average of 24.16.
