samuel morris -lrb- cricketer -rrb-

samuel morris -lrb- 22 june 1855 in hobart -- 20 september 1931 in albert park , victoria -rrb- was an australian cricketer who played in one test in 1885 .
he was the first black man to represent australia and , along with andrew symonds , is one of only two people of west indian heritage to do so .
morris was one of nine australian test players to make his debut in the second test of the 1884 -- 85 series against england .
selectors were forced to choose an entirely new team after the eleven of the first test refused to play over a dispute concerning payment of players .
morris took two wickets in the match , including english captain arthur shrewsbury , and made just fourteen runs -lrb- 4 as an opener in the first innings , 10 not out in the second batting at number ten -rrb- as australia lost by ten wickets .
his parents were west indian and had traveled to australia in the gold-rush years of the 1840s .
he was born in hobart , tasmania , in 1855 , but played his club cricket in victoria for melbourne 's st kilda club where he later became the groundsman before suffering from blindness in his later years .
