The amount of wickets is more down to the amount of ODI's played in his generation compared to later ones. He was a very regular player for New Zealand for a long time, wasn't injured much.It is still debatable...coz not enough wickets for him in ODIs...far more better bowlers..but he is an ok pick to balance your bowling lineup...
Edit: It's absolutely still debateable though, as is Hadlee vs lower longevity Bond due to Bond's magnificent record against the great Australian sides of the noughties
