Daniel Harris is a qualified doctor, but he also needed plenty of patience in his cricket career after waiting five years for his initial first-class half-century. Harris was picked for his debut in 1999-2000, but did not raise his bat for South Australia until an 82 against Western Australia in 2004-05. He made only two Pura Cup appearances in 2005-06 but followed with eight the next season. He was in and out as South Australia tinkered with their batting order in 2007-08, when he was pleased to grind out 120 against Tasmania. His maiden first-class century had come eight years after his debut and although he only played four matches during that campaign, averaging 30.37, he was set to remain a part of the South Australia top order in 2008-09.
A lightly framed right-handed batsman, Harris gained his opening taste of first-class cricket when he was chosen as the then-international representative Greg Blewett's replacement for South Australia for three matches. Although he didn't exceed a score of 31, he aligned enthusiasm with a tight technique, a good eye and a liking for hitting the ball through point and cover. He also showcased his brilliance in the field in his debut match when he completed an extraordinary overhead catch, leaping in soccer goalkeeper fashion at cover, to dismiss the Pakistan batsman Wajahatullah Wasti.
