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.[1] 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.[2] He toured England with the West Indies team in 1963 and 1966 but was less successful on the slower, greener pitches.[3] He scored 190 not out against Middlesex in 1963, but it took 400 minutes.[4]

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.[5] He captained Jamaica from 1967-68 until he retired after the 1971-72 season, including the short tour of England in 1970.
