Jack Moroney was a slow-scoringsolid Australian opening batsman who toured South Africa with success [[Australian cricket team in 1949-50South Africa in 1949–50|in 1949–50]], making his maiden Test century.

Having made a pair, and failing to add a single run for the first wicket Moroney was dropped even though Australia won by 70 runs and other, more famous, batsmen failed. He was replaced as opener by [[Ken Archer]] and played only one more Test the next season against the West Indies.<ref>{{cite web |title=Jack Moroney |url=http://www.espncricinfo.com/australia/content/player/6639.html |website=Cricinfo |accessdate=15 September 2019}}</ref>
 
His highest [[first-class cricket|first-class]] score was 217, made in five and a half hours, for AR Morris' XI against AL Hassett's XI in 1948–49.<ref>{{cite web |title=AL Hassett's XI v AR Morris' XI, 1948/49 |url=http://static.espncricinfo.com/db/ARCHIVE/1940S/1948-49/AUS_LOCAL/OTHER/HASSETT-XI_MORRIS-XI_25FEB-01MAR1949.html |website=Cricinfo |accessdate=15 September 2019}}</ref> However, he had a reputation for slow scoring; [[R. S. Whitington]] said he was "like a purposeless porpoise".<ref name=WCA/> The Australian cricket writer [[Johnnie Moyes]] said, "Moroney was a powerfully-built man who could hit the ball tremendously hard, but he often carried defence to extreme limits", adding that Moroney's fielding also let him down.<ref>[[A. G. Moyes]], ''Australian Cricket: A History'', Angus & Robertson, Sydney, 1959, p. 499.</ref>
