Heres what CricBuzz says about him.
Despite landing on the surgeon's table more often than not, Bond refused to compromise on pace, a ploy, which raised as many eyebrows as it did praise. However, amid all the mishaps Bond's guts and firepower stood out.
In his pomp, he battered stumps and toes with yorkers, he even kept the best of batsmen on tenterhooks with his ability to swing the ball both ways at genuine pace. In fact, he was the first ever quick to break the 150kph barrier.
Interestingly, Bond reserved his best for New Zealand's arch-rivals - Australia. He captured three 5-fers against the Aussies with his searing yorkers to Adam Gilchrist and Ricky Ponting proving the icing on the cake.
The recurrence of injuries - back problems, knee troubles, abdominal tear, stress fractures all relegated Bond to the sidelines. The back injury was was the most severe of the lot, so much so that a titanium wire was fixed to his spine for recovery and stabilization.
Ever the fighter, Bond cameback and played a starring role for New Zealand in the 2003 World Cup, taking 17 wickets at an impressive average of 17.94. Later in 2008, Bond forayed into the unofficial Indian Cricket League, which left in international career in jeopardy. However, he was handed a New Zealand central contract after snapping ties with the ICL.
In spite of a remodelled action, the injuries resurfaced, forcing him to call it a day shortly after his return to international cricket. Post retirement, Shane Bond served as the assistant coach of Central Stags before being named as New Zealand's bowling coach in 2012. In the interim, he had a crack at the Indian T20 League, featuring for Kolkata during the third season of the lucrative tournament.
Interesting facts:
1. Before becoming a cricketer, Bond served as a cop for the New Zealand police.
2. Bond was the third fastest bowler to reach 100 wickets in ODIs.

Heres what ESPNcricinfo says about him.
Fast, fearsome and frustratingly fragile, Shane Bond will be remembered as much for his misfortune with injuries as for his wonderful ability. Bond was New Zealand's best pace bowler in the post-Hadlee era, but missed more games than he played.
At times it seemed less like injuries interrupting Bond's career as Bond's occasional cricket matches interrupting his downtime. The most serious was a back problem in 2003 that led to nearly two years out and an operation in which his spine was fused with titanium wire. There were also various issues with knees, feet and other body parts, but Bond's desire to play could never be questioned. Some of the trouble came from his unwillingness to reduce his intensity; had he been happy to drop his pace and take things easier, he might have played more cricket.
That he didn't take that path said much about his competitive nature; the game always lifted a notch when he had the ball. His athletic action was geared towards inswing and his 150-plus kph efforts meant the ball would swing late. Toe-crushing yorkers were a specialty and he feasted on the world's best batsmen; Ricky Ponting fell to Bond in all of the first six ODIs they played against each other. Bond always lifted against Australia, and it was a sign of his great skill that he took 44 ODI wickets at 15.79 against them. That included a hat-trick in Hobart in 2006-07 and one of Bond's personal favourites, his 6 for 23 against the eventual champions in the 2003 World Cup.
He helped New Zealand to a World Cup semi-final four years later, before signing with the ICL, which led to his being ostracised from international cricket for two years. He returned in late 2009 with enough fuel for one final match-winning performance in the Dunedin Test against Pakistan, but within a year had retired from all forms of the game as his body told him enough was enough.
