Brian Alfred Marris (born 1896 or 1897; [1] date of death unknown) was a New Zealand cricketer who played first-class cricket for Wellington from 1917 to 1920.
Brian Marris,known as "Curly",was a leg-spin bowler and useful batsman. [2] He was educated at Wellington College. [3] During World War I he worked in the Army Department’s Base Records Office in Wellington. [4]
Marris scored 212 for the Old Boys club in a match of senior Wellington club cricket in December 1917. [5] He made his first-class debut for Wellington against Canterbury a few days later,taking three wickets in each innings and batting in the tail. [6] The next season,when the Plunket Shield resumed,he took 5 for 50 against Canterbury,combining with Syd Hiddleston to dismiss Canterbury for 163 in the first innings,but was expensive and wicketless in the second innings when Canterbury scored 303 for 3 and won by seven wickets. [7]
Although he gained substantial turn from the pitch when he bowled,Marris lacked control. He lost his place in the Wellington side during the 1919-20 season and never regained it. [8]
