Quotes from articles mentioning Daniel Vettori
I'm pretty sure he hasn't [applied] but things can change with Wrighty so we'll wait and see ... I really don't know - I haven't spoken to John for a while. I think people know his credentials and what a fantastic coach he was with India, but he's taken on a new role with NZC and maybe that's where he wants to stay.

I was only there for a short period of time but I really enjoyed his coaching style ... He's a guy who had a good knowledge of the game - obviously it was only Twenty20 but he's been successful with Victoria and he had success with Delhi. He's got a pretty simplistic style but it was one that I enjoyed while I was there ... he'll be one of the guys that New Zealand Cricket will have a good look at.

I think that's the important bit. It's all well and good me saying no, that I'm not going after playing for a long time but it'd be unfair to put a Daniel Flynn or a Tim Southee in that position ... For me personally, I want to make sure that it's a collective decision and not put in front of young guys, because the young guys probably don't have the same options as the more experienced players.

He's forced his way into being one of the first picks in the side ... His two performances have been outstanding from where he's come in club cricket.

He's certainly right up there when you look at guys like (Jacques) Kallis and (Andrew) Flintoff. Jacob was ranked number all-rounder in the world for a while in ODI cricket. You throw that into your side it makes for a great balance, and also that confidence lift it brings to the team as well.
