Morris can change the game: Shane Bond

Head Coach of Sydney Thunder, Shane Bond is delighted to have him in the team. He feels that Morris’ experience can help the team.

Chris is someone who I had my eye on,” Bond said. “It’s always great to have a player who can change the game with bat and ball. Morris is an experienced, hardened cricketer who bowls 90mph and smacks it with the bat. Those players are very rare, so he brings a unique skill set.

“I’m looking forward to welcoming his personality and competitiveness to the team as well,” added the former New Zealand pacer.
