10 all-rounders who played for a long time

8. Daniel Vettori

The bespectacled left-arm spinner from New Zealand was a constant in their line-up throughout the 2000s.

A shrewd bowler, he was famous for his unerring accuracy and subtle variations, qualities that helped him scalp 667 international wickets. At the age of 18, he became the youngest Test cricketer for the Black Caps.

He is one of only eight players to manage the double of 300 Test wickets and 3000 runs.

He developed into a useful lower-order batsman, and finished his Test career with more than 4000 Test runs at an average of 30, which included six centuries, with him batting as low as the Number 8 position. He also had four half-centuries in ODIs.
