He is nowadays known more for his over-the-top commentary but during his cricketing career that lasted from 1987 to 1997, Danny Morrison was one of New Zealand's best bowlers and the spearhead of the attack during the latter half of his career.

Morrison was a wicket-taking bowler, who could swing the ball either way and bowled at a decent pace, that kept the batsmen honest. In addition to that, he was extremely accurate and developed plenty of variations later on in his career, including the slower ball which made him a potent limited-overs bowler as well.

He played 48 Tests for New Zealand and returned a haul of 150 wickets with an average of 34.68. In one-dayers, he played 96 games and picked up 126 wickets.
