MORRIS MAKES KEY CONTRIBUTIONS WITH BALL IN INITIAL POWERPLAY

charlie morris will be looking to make another decisive contribution with the ball when worcestershire rapids resume their royal london one-day cup campaign against yorkshire vikings at New Road tomorrow (11am start).

the paceman has consistently made key breakthroughs during the initial powerplays, first in partnership with josh tongue and latterly pat brown.

twenty-six-year-old morris has picked up 10 wickets in his six appearances to date at an average of 24.70 with an economy rate of 6.17.

only all-rounder wayne parnell has collected more scalps, with his 5-24 against notts outlaws on wednesday lifting his total to 12 and at an economy rate of 5.67.

the now departed hamish rutherford is the rapids leading run-scorer with 317 runs including two centuries at an average of 63.40.

ross whiteley (222) is the next highest contributor while riki wessels has the leading strike rate of 120.76.
