Arthur Robert Morris (born January 19, 1922 in Bondi, Sydney, New South Wales) was an Australian cricketer who played 46 Test matches and was a member of Don Bradman's Invincibles of 1948.
Morris debuted against England in the 1946/47 Ashes series, and scored three hundreds during the series. His Test career spanned a decade until he retired in 1956. He was an opening batsman of note and retired with a very good batting average of 46.48 with 12 hundreds. He recorded his highest ever Test score of 206 in 1951. He also had an outstanding first-class record, scoring 12614 runs, including 46 hundreds, at an average of 53.67
Arthur Morris was the batsman at the other end of the crease in the fifth Test of the 1948 series at The Oval when Don Bradman famously got dismissed for a duck in his last-ever Test innings. Morris scored 196 in that innings.
