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]
