Second Test - New Zealand v Australia: Day 1

Daniel Vettori, New Zealand's legendary spinner, had been a central figure of New Zealand cricket for a long time. His sumptuous bowling skills and decent batting hand ranked him high on the list of best all-rounders in the scheme of Test cricket.

Vettori played 32 matches as a captain and won six of them. Although he didn't achieve great things in Test cricket as a captain, his bowling and batting records made up for it.

Vettori scored 4531 runs at an average of 30.00 which include 23 fifties and six centuries with the best score being 140. In addition to that, he scalped 362 wickets at an average of 34.36 with the best match figures being 12 for 149.

Thus, Vettori will add variety to this side with his more than good spin bowling and decent batting.
