Bruce Alexander Grenfell Murray (born 18 September 1940 in Johnsonville) played 13 Tests for New Zealand as a right-handed opening batsman. He toured England in 1969 and India and Pakistan in 1969-70.
He is one of just three players to have taken a Test wicket without conceding a run, giving him a bowling average of 0.00, having bowled 6 balls during a match against India in 1968.[1]
Following his cricketing career, Bruce Murray entered the public sector, to become a long-standing principal at Tawa College,[2] from 1989 to 2002. He has also gone on to the field of literature in his years of retirement, including a book about the Tawa bucket tree.
