Chris Harris

Chris Harris who was born in the year 1969 on this day is a former New Zealand cricketer. He became, over the course of the 1990s, a folk-hero in New Zealand cricket.

He was a left-handed middle-order batsman and deliverer of right-arm slow-medium deliveries. He rescued the New Zealand team's batting on numerous occasions. His deceptive looping bowling many times restricted the run rates of opposition batting line-ups.
