Chris Morris Biography, Age, Height, Weight, Family, Wiki & More

Chris Morris took up cricket very late but made quick strides once he was there. He is a hard-hitting all-rounder, who can bowl with the new ball and be more than handy with the bat lower down the order. Morris started his first-class career with North West in 2009 and by 2011-12 he was there leading bowler. During that season, he was the highest wicket-taker in their domestic T20 competition with 21 wickets. With the help of this performance, he made it to the T20I squad which was touring Zimbabwe. Though he didn't play a single game on that tour, he gained enough knowledge from Allan Donald.

 

Despite his T20 fame, Morris insisted he was not a limited-overs specialist and the numbers backed him up. Morris had a promising 2010-11 first-class season, when he averaged over 60 with the bat, albeit in the provincial, not franchise division, in South Africa. He also led the Lions' charge in the 2012-13 Sunfoil Series and finished with 32 wickets at 16.00 and three years later was rewarded with a Test call-up.

 

Six days after being picked up by Delhi Daredevils for a million dollars, Morris proved his worth. He struck 62 off 38 balls to see South Africa draw level in the fourth match of a five-game rubber against England and later took them to a similarly thrilling win in a T20.
