he can be considered one of the most outstanding tasmanian batsman of his era , and was unlucky never to be selected to play test cricket for australia , despite having toured india with an australian side .
morrisby was the 29th player to captain the tasmanian first-class team , but was never able to lead them to victory .
an exciting batsman with a preference for playing off the back foot , he played for south hobart cricket club in the tasmanian grade cricket competition , and still holds many records in that competition , including being the all-time leading run scorer .
