Vettori wins three New Zealand cricket awards
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/New-Zealand-c754’s skipper has won three of New Zealand’s major cricketing awards for the 2009-10 season. Daniel Vettori won the Player-of-the-Year award for the second straight season, and apart from that, claimed the Winsor Cup for first-class bowling, and the Walter Hadlee trophy for being the best ODI bowler.
This was Vettori’s fourth Player-of-the-year award since he made his international debut. Speaking on the occasion, New Zealand Cricket chief, Justin Vaughan, said that the award was a testimony to the captain’s excellent performance for New Zealand over a long period and that of his hard work and dedication.
Vaughan added, "He has been a force in all forms of the game, and you just have to look at the ICC rankings for confirmation with Daniel ranked as the top ODI bowler, second ranked Test allrounder and fourth highest Twenty20 wicket-taker."
Vettori statistics show why he is still one of the best in the world. Not only did he captain the side well, and bowl brilliantly like he has always done, Vettori added another feather in his cap when he also got 742 runs in Tests at an average of nearly 50. Apart from that, he had also scored almost 400 runs at 30.60 in ODIs and 120 Twenty20 runs at 24. He scalped 32 wickets in Tests, 27 in ODIs and 10 in the T20 format of the game.
There were a couple of awards for Brendon McCullum as well. McCullum won the Walter Hadlee Trophy for best ODI batting, after his smashing innings against http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Reid-c84647 Best Allrounder Trophy for his batting and wicket-keeping.
