Daniel Kyle Morrison (born 3 February 1966) is a New Zealand cricket commentator and former cricketer.[1][2] He specialized as a pace bowler with a useful outswinger. He made his test debut for New Zealand in 1987 at the age of 21 against Australia.[3]
His most notable bowling accomplishment occurred on 25 March 1994, when he took a hat-trick in a One Day International (ODI) against India.[4] He is one of only three New Zealanders and twenty-two players worldwide to have taken an ODI hat-trick.
On 28 January 1997, Morrison made his final appearance for his national team, and contributed 14 runs in a 106-run partnership with Nathan Astle for the tenth wicket against England, to save the match. He was dropped from the team after the match.
During his international career, Morrison played for New Zealand in three Cricket World Cups - 1987, 1992 and 1996.[5][6]
Since his departure from international cricket, Morrison has been employed in numerous cricket-related positions. These include:
Morrison currently lives on the Sunshine Coast, Australia, moving there in 2006 with his wife, Kim Morrison[7] and children, Jacob and Tayla.[8]
Morrison released an autobiography after his retirement named Mad As I Wanna Be that was published in 1997. This received generally positive reviews although outspoken New Zealand Cricket commentator Richard Whiting described the overall tone of the book as 'mental'. He has also written a book called the Danny Morrison Junior Cricket Diary as an aid for aspiring young cricketers.
