Daniel Luca VettoriONZM (born 27 January 1979) is a New Zealand cricket coach and formercricketer who played for theNew Zealand national cricket team. He was the 200th player to win theirTest cricket cap for New Zealand and an inductee in the New Zealand Cricket Hall of Fame.[1] He is currently an assistant coach of theAustralia men's national cricket team.
Vettori was the youngest male player to have represented New Zealand in Test cricket, making his debut in February 1997 at the age of 18. Hecaptained New Zealand between 2007 and 2011 and is New Zealand's most-capped Test cricketer andOne Day International cricketer, with 112 Test caps and 291 ODI caps.[a] A bowlingall-rounder, Vettori was the eighth player in Test cricket history to take 300 wickets and score 3,000 runs.
A slowleft-arm orthodox spin bowler, Vettori was known for his accuracy, flight and guile rather than prodigious turn. He was also a part of the New Zealand squad to finish asrunners-up at the2015 Cricket World Cup; after which he announced his retirement from all forms of cricket.[2] He has since coached in a variety of roles.
Vettori was born inAuckland and brought up inHamilton, attending Marian School and laterSt. Paul's Collegiate School. He was initially a medium-pace bowler, but slowly transitioned to bowloff spin deliveries. He made his senior debut forNorthern Districts in 1996/97 and his international debut duringEngland's 1997 tour of New Zealand at the age of 18, at the time the youngest man to play Test cricket for New Zealand.[3] He took his first internationalfive-wicket haul againstSri Lanka in March of the same year.
He was among a very small minority of international sports stars to wear prescriptionspectacles while playing sport, and only one of very few cricketers in the modern era to playTest cricket with spectacles.
Prior to becoming captain on a permanent basis in 2007, Vettori had captained New Zealand in ODI cricket on occasion. He captained New Zealand at the inauguralTwenty20 World Championship in South Africa[4] and subsequently was appointed the team's captain in all formats.[5]
Vettori's captaincy began with a losing Test series in England and attracted some criticism during the ODI series which followed. He had shouted from the balcony atThe Oval following a controversial run out and later refused to shake hands with the England team after the match.[6] This approach contrasted with Fleming's more languid, laid back style.[7]
Vettori stood down from the captaincy and retired from One day International and Twenty20 International cricket after the2011 World Cup. He was recalled into the ODI team for the2013 ICC Champions Trophy and the 2015 Cricket World Cup,[8] by which time he had retired from Test cricket, his final Test match was as an emergency injury replacement against Pakistan in November 2014.
Vettori took his 300th Test wicket onNew Zealand's tour of Sri Lanka in 2009, becoming only the second New Zealander to do so, joiningRichard Hadlee.[9] As of August 2022 his 362 Test wickets lies second only to Hadlee[10] and he is New Zealand's leadingOne Day International wicket-taker with 297 dismissals for the national side.[11]
Vettori was the first left-arm spin bowler to take more than 300 wickets in both Test matches and One Day Internationals.[b]He was the youngest man to take 100 Test wickets, doing so by the age of 21.[12] In 2005, 2008 and 2010 he was named in the World ODI XI by theInternational Cricket Council[13][14] and was named in the team of the tournament for the2015 Cricket World Cup.[15]
Vettori took 20five-wicket hauls in Test matches, including takingten wickets in a match three times. His best innings figures were achieved in Auckland in 1999–2000 against Australia where he took 7/87; he finished with career best-match figures of 12/149, the second best by a New Zealander at the time. As of August 2022 these match figures remain the third-best ever by a New Zealander, with onlyAjaz Patel and Richard Hadlee having taken better figures in a match. He also took 12 wickets against Bangladesh 2004 and 10 against Sri Lanka in 2006. He took two five-wicket hauls in One Day International matches.
