Greatest New Zealand ODI XI of all time

#1 12th man and Full squad

Chris Harris was a valuable utility player in the 50-over format

Chris Harris, who embodied New Zealand cricket with his all-round skills, occupies the slot of 12th man in this dream team. Primarily, he was a versatile lower middle-order batsman capable of closing out matches. While his fielding placed him among the best in the 1990s, an archetypal dibbly dobbly style of bowling made him extremely hard to score off. From 250 ODIs, he scored 4379 runs at an average of 29 and picked 203 wickets at an economy-rate of 4.28.

When the lineup is expanded into a 16-member squad, there are plenty more dynamic cricketers making the cut. While the likes of Nathan Astle and Stephen Fleming offer solid back-up options in the opening department, Trent Boult and Ewen Chatfield can provide depth to the pace attack.
