Whiz Morris

Harold Marsh "Whiz" Morris (16 April 1898 – 18 November 1984) was an English amateur cricketer.

[1] Morris was educated at Repton School, where he captained the First XI, and Cambridge University, where he was unable to find a place in the cricket team.

[2] In 1927 he scored 143 against Somerset[3] and, a couple of weeks later, 166 against Hampshire, when he added 233 in 140 minutes for the fourth wicket with Jack Russell.

[2] Although Morris played only three matches in 1928, the Essex committee chose him to captain the team for the 1929 season, replacing Johnny Douglas.

His Wisden obituary described him as a batsman as "a good stylist, who drove and cut well, [who] looked at his best capable of more than he in fact accomplished".
