Test cricketer at 18

Becomes New Zealand's youngest ODI player when he lines up against Sri Lanka. Is only given two overs, which cost 21 runs.
September 25-29, 1997
Dan the batsman

October 29-November 2, 1999
Where are the wickets?
Becomes the second New Zealander, after Stephen Boock, to concede 200 runs in a Test innings. As a Tendulkar-inspired India knock up 7 for 583, Vettori finishes with 4 for 200 from his 57 overs.
March 11-15, 2000
Lethal against the old enemy
Tears through Australia with 12 wickets in a losing Test side, and in the process becomes the youngest spinner to reach 100 Test wickets.
September, 2000
Too much work?
Heavy bowling workload starts to take its toll, and he succumbs to stress fractures in his back which sideline him for several months.
December 19-23, 2003
Test centurion
Scores his maiden Test century, an unbeaten 137 against Pakistan.
October, 2004
Back in form
After a lean patch of form, returns to his dangerous self in a two-Test series against Bangladesh. Takes 20 wickets in the series at a cost of just 11.20 per victim.
November 2, 2004
First-time captain
Captains New Zealand for the first time in an ODI. They enjoy a comfortable 138-run win over Bangladesh.
February, 2005
Opening up in domestic cricket

March, 2005
Recognition at home
Is named New Zealand's Player of the Year, just reward for a season that includes 42 Test wickets at 27 and 22 ODI victims at 20.
August 7-8, 2005
And then there were three
Traps Heath Streak lbw in the Harare Test to become the third New Zealand bowler to reach 200 Test wickets, joining Chris Cairns and Richard Hadlee. Also has a match to remember for his blistering 82-ball century, the fastest by a New Zealander in Test cricket.
October, 2005
One of the best
Is recognised with a place in the World XI side for the Super Series against Australia, and is the only New Zealander in the squad. Troubles Australia with 4 for 33 in the first ODI, and is one of six World XI stars to play in all three limited-overs games and the Super Test.
December, 2005
Succession plan?
With Stephen Fleming incapacitated, Vettori takes over the captaincy for the Chappell-Hadlee Trophy series, which New Zealand lose 2-1.

August 23, 2009
Power? Responsibility? I'll take it
