Top 10 New Zealand bowlers of all time

New Zealand v Australia - 3rd ODI
New Zealand have a rich history of producing quality bowlers

#2 Daniel Vettori

New Zealand v South Africa: Semi Final - 2015 ICC Cricket World Cup
Daniel Vettori was a true legend for New Zealand cricket

Probably the only spinner to make a lasting impression from New Zealand, Vettori was the youngest Test debutant for the country when he debuted in 1996 at the age of 18. He is their most capped player with 118 Test matches and 284 One Day Internationals.

Known for his stump to stump lines and tricky flight, Vettori wasn't a big turner of the ball. But that wasn't required given that he was pretty immaculate with his lines and lengths. He skippered the national team from 2007-2011 and was also the eighth player in Tests to take 300 wickets and 3000 runs.

He currently dons the role of head coach of IPL franchise Royal Challengers Bangalore.
