Heres what CricBuzz says about him.
Kline couldn't get much turn off his stock delivery, instead managed to extract prodigious spin and bounce off the googly which at one point, was termed the most dangerous delivery in Australian cricket. His tall frame enabled him to get bounce out of most pitches. It's strange that Kline played just 13 Tests for all his talent and excellent returns. If Kline's bowling action was funny, his adventures with the bat shot over the roof. Extremely painful to watch, he barely tried to score runs with his intentions clearly to survive and that did bore the crowd most of the times. Of course, as a tailender, one couldn't expect more from him but still. Though Kline didn't have a long international career, he did manage to carve a niche for himself with his brand of left-arm wrist spin. He passed away in 2015.

Wisden Overview
The chinaman bowler Lindsay Kline represented Australia in just 13 Tests, nine of them overseas where he was notably successful (31 wickets at 15.35). He took a hat-trick in his second Test, in Cape Town in 1957-58, but is best remembered for facing the last ball of the first tied Test, against West Indies at Brisbane in the classic 1960-61 series. He also denied West Indies for 100 minutes as Australia held on for a draw at Adelaide in the same series. It was his last act in Test cricket.
