Harris is one of New Zealand's greatest players ever in the ODI format

A Canterbury legend who played for the side for nearly two decades, Chris Harris was one of New Zealand's finest ODI players in the 1990s and early 2000s.

In fact, Harris scored 2130 of his 4379 ODI runs at the Number 7 position - the highest tally by any player at the No 7 spot in the 50-over format.

Nicknamed 'Lugs', Harris was an annoying proposition for the opposition batsmen with his nagging slow-medium wobblers and one of the best fielders during his time in international cricket, especially of his own bowling.

Harris has 29 caught and bowled dismissals in ODIs, just 6 behind Muttiah Muralitharan's tally of 35 as the bowler with most caught and bowled dismissals.

Harris was much loved by his teammates and served as captain of Canterbury for a number of years before leaving the province to join the now-defunct Indian Cricket League.

With 203 wickets from 250 ODIs, Harris is one of only four New Zealand cricketers to have picked up 200 or more wickets in the 50-over format.
