Pretty unique bowler. He was like that 55 year old B-grader in your local league who somehow takes 35 poles a season bowling slow nothing balls but he did it in international cricket.

He has the third most not outs of any ODI batsman ever with 62(behind Dhoni and Bevan, two other finshers) but only produced a career average of 29, well below the level of the other 2 blokes. You'd think with that amount of 'assistance' from not outs he'd at least crack an average of 30.
Also, that famous 130 he got against us in the '96 QF was actually the only time he passed 80 in international cricket. His next best ODI score was 77* and in tests 71
Not criticising, I do like him and of course he took 200+ wickets while keeping things tight, but it's interesting

Possibly the 2nd greatest fielder of his own bowling too (behind Roger Harper)

haha i put it in quote marks just because i knew you'd take issue with it
i'm not saying he doesn't deserve his 29 average, you'd just expect someone with his reputation as a 'finisher' and well, the 3rd most not-outs ever to average a little higher right?

Very tough between Harris, Chris Cairns, and Oram for the position at 6/7 in the all time NZ ODI team. Cairns was the best of the three at ODI batting but the worst bowler, Oram was the best bowler but worst batsman, while Harris was a jack of all trades and a gun fielder.

McMillan wasn't a very good ODI player (apart from a great Chappell Hadlee 100 in 2007). Scott Styris or Jeremy Coney would be better options.

Worse bowling average in tests than Salisbury takes some doing.

Cairns was better at 5 though. Tempting to pick Oram. That's a gun attack with Oram as the 5th bowler.
