Whiz Morris

Harold Marsh "Whiz" Morris (16 April 1898 – 18 November 1984) was an English amateur cricketer. He played for Essex between 1919 and 1932 and was captain of the team between 1929 and 1932.

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. He was a regular member of the Essex side in the 1920s, batting usefully and fielding superbly. and, a couple of weeks later, 166 against Hampshire, when he added 233 in 140 minutes for the fourth wicket with Jack Russell. Although he was appointed captain for the 1932 season he was unavailable for all but two matches, and resigned the captaincy. 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".
