Easton Dudley Ashley St John McMorris OD (4 April 1935 – 1 February 2022) was a West Indian cricketer who played in 13 Tests from 1958 to 1966. He attended Kingston College.[1]
An opening batsman, McMorris scored a Test century against India at his home ground of Sabina Park in the 1961-62 series, adding 255 for the second wicket with Rohan Kanhai.[2] This series was his most productive: in the four matches he played he scored 349 runs at an average of 58.16, with a lowest score of 37.[3] He toured England with the West Indies team in 1963 and 1966 but was less successful on the slower, greener pitches.[4] He scored 190 not out against Middlesex in 1963, but it took 400 minutes.[5]
He was a heavy scorer for Jamaica, averaging over 60 in five domestic seasons, with a top score of 218 against Guyana in 1966-67.[6] He captained Jamaica from 1967-68 until he retired after the 1971-72 season, including the short tour of England in 1970.
Jamaica awarded McMorris the Order of Distinction in 1972.[7] He died on 1 February 2022, at the age of 86.[8]
