5 captains who succeeded in one format but didn't in another

#4 Daniel Vettori

Vettori did not have a very good captaincy stint in the longer format

Former New Zealand skipper is one of the best all-rounders New Zealand have ever produced and during his prime was one of the world’s finest all-rounders. Following the retirement of veteran Stephen Fleming, the captaincy was handed over to Vettori in all three formats.

As captain, Vettori led New Zealand to the semi-finals of the 2007 ICC World T20 and the 2011 World Cup which was considered a surprise as the Kiwis had beaten one of the tournament favorites South Africa in the quarter-finals. In the 82 ODIs that he has captained, Vettori has a win percentage of 50%, winning 41 and losing 33 with one match being tied and seven being abandoned.

In T20Is, Vettori has a win percentage of 46.43%, having won 13, lost 13 and two matches being tied.

Vettori’s performances as captain in the limited overs formats have been decent but the same cannot be said of his captaincy in the longer format. Out of the 32 tests Vettori has captained, he has won only 6 of them, drawn 10 of them and lost 16 of them.

Out of his six wins, three of them have come against minnows Bangladesh and both of his series wins as a captain have also come against Bangladesh. Vettori left the New Zealand captaincy after the 2011 Cricket World Cup.
