ON THIS DAY - 9th December

In 1961,PETER MORSE (#19), the second of the fine wicketkeepers produced in the 1950's, he made his only Waratahs hundred, 129 for A grade v Uralla. Replying to Uralla's 7-341 in which Walter Taylor (133) had his annual run feast against Waratahs, Morse was the cornerstone of 7-317 in reply and an honourable draw, considering Uralla batted on into the second day.
