Robert Sean Millner Morris is a former English first-class cricketer. Born in 1968 in Buckinghamshire, he was educated at Swanbourne House School, Stowe School and Durham University, where he graduated with a degree in sociology and captained the cricket and hockey teams.[1] [2]
Morris had trials with Nottinghamshire and Worcestershire before joining Hampshire. He played 37 first-class matches as a right-handed opening batsman, enjoying his best season in 1994 when he averaged 49 and scored a career best 174 against Nottinghamshire. Unable to secure a regular place in the Hampshire line-up, Morris was released in 1996, his final innings a century against Cambridge University.[3]
