Daniel Vettori of the Delhi Daredevils makes a run during their 2009 Indian Premier League (IPL) T20 cricket tournament match against the Rajasthan Royals in Centurion in this April 28, 2009 file photo. Vettori is a master of self-deprecation, a handy attribute for a captain of the New Zealand cricket team. Leading a team who habitually struggle on the world stage encourages both stoicism and wry humour. As a spin-bowling all-rounder Vettori also carries an unusually heavy burden. It helps that he is an unusual man.
