Yes, he was a very dangerous bowler. His 7/23 against India in the third test in 1975-76 is still considered the most deadly spell.
The reason why he is so cool is - read these lines - "He invited Indians to explore investment opportunities in New Zealand."
My friend in NZ told that they are no less racial as compared to Europeans.
