Heres what CricBuzz says about him.
Morrison's champagne bowling display in Tests arrived when he collected 7-89 against Australia in the Trans-Tasman second Test at Wellington. During his halcyon days, Morrison employed his whippy, slinging action to lift the ball from a length as well. By the 1992 World Cup, Danny had transformed into New Zealand's bowling spearhead - role he stuck to till the twilight of his career.
On the batting front though, he was a pure non-batsman, so much so that he was dubbed 'The Duckman'. Out of the 48 Tests he played, he was dismissed run-less on 24 occasions. Ironically, his final hurrah stemmed from the bat when he held fort for close to three hours in the company of Nathan Astle to help New Zealand pull off an unlikely stalemate versus England in the first Test at Auckland.
It turned out to be his last Test and he was axed from the team. Morrison though continued to ply his trade for Auckland until his retirement in 1997. Post retirement, he forayed into commentary. His charisma and effervescence has made him quite a popular commentator.

Heres what ESPNcricinfo says about him.
Short in stature, a disadvantage more than made up for with spirit, Danny Morrison succeeded Richard Hadlee as New Zealand's main strike bowler, and with a slingy action and a good outswinger, he led the line with distinction and for the first half of the 1990s was an ever present in the side. As a genuine strike bowler he often went for a few runs, but developed into a good one-day bowler, with a well-disguised slower ball and nagging accuracy, and his ability to swing the ball made him a difficult proposition in his pomp. New Zealand won only two of his last 35 Tests, but each time Morrison was the catalyst, with 6 for 37 against Australia in Auckland in 1992-93, and eight wickets against Pakistan in Christchurch a year later. As a batter he was a genuine rabbit, at one time holding the world record of 24 Test ducks. It was not really fitting that his final bout of heroics for New Zealand came with the bat, scoring 14 in an unbeaten tenth-wicket stand of 106 with Nathan Astle, which saved a Test against England - he was dropped and it turned out to be his final appearance. He played throughout his career for Auckland, and also had one season in England with Lancashire but failed to adapt as well as had been expected. He is now a television commentator and analyst.
