Heres what CricBuzz says about him.
As it stands, Harris scored 4000+ ODI runs to go with 203 wickets and 96 catches. However, he failed to mark a mark in Tests, playing just 23 matches before being singled out as an ODI specialist.
Yes, he was at it in ODIs - Harris played a pivotal role in New Zealand clinching the title in the ICC knockout tournament, sharing a rearguard 122-run stand with Cairns to upstage top dogs, India, in the final in 2000. His highest individual score of 130 came against Australia in the 1996 WC, albeit in a losing cause.
After walking into the international sunset, Harris figured in the unsanctioned Indian Cricket League, leading Hyderabad Heroes. Later on, he turned to coaching, taking charge of Zimbabwe Under-19 team in 2010.
Interesting facts:
1. Chris Harris became the first Kiwi player to feature in 250 ODIs.
2. Harris shares with Muttiah Muralitharan the ODI record for most caught and bowled dismissals - 29.

Heres what ESPNcricinfo says about him.
A cult hero in New Zealand cricket and, for a time, one of the most effective allround limited-overs cricketers in the international game, Chris Harris will be remembered as much for his versatile accumulation with the bat as for his nagging slow-medium wobblers. Harris's ability to score all round the wicket, pick the gaps and hit boundaries at just the right time turned him into New Zealand's answer to Michael Bevan, and his 62 not-outs in one-day cricket testify to his ability to close out an innings. His bowling was ideally suited to the shorter game - a gentle medium-pace that forces the batsman to do all the work allied to subtle changes in pace and the ability to cut the ball either way off the wicket. Harris was also a very safe fielder, particularly within the inner circle and in the covers. He hit a purple patch with the bat in late 1997, going 19 consecutive innings (eight of them in ODIs) without being dismissed and registering three half-centuries. He also played a vital role in New Zealand's triumph at the ICC KnockOut tournament, putting together a partnership of 122 for the sixth wicket with Chris Cairns to set up a last-over win against India in the final. But, again like Bevan, Harris was unable to carry his undeniable talent into Test cricket and his 23 appearances between 1992 and 2002 resulted in a disappointing batting average of 20.44 and an untenable bowling average of 73.12. In 2004, Harris became the first New Zealand player to have played 250 ODIs, although a shoulder injury marred his 250th, and final, appearance. He also remains New Zealand's second-highest wicket-taker in one-dayers, behind Daniel Vettori. At the age of 40 Harris remains an effective player for Canterbury in domestic cricket, although retirement cannot be far away. He is the son of former New Zealand international Zin Harris and his brother Ben has played at first-class level.
