Crafty, courteous Vettori waylays India

India Today's Sharda Ugra is impressed with the way Daniel Vettori handled the build-up to the series, showering India with compliments, before ambushing them in the first Twenty20.

There was no attempt at disintegration of any kind from New Zealand, except where it mattered - on the field. Mind you, the Indians have played a hand in this themselves, batting like the billionaires they all are. Or if you prefer, like Mumbai commuters who have had one last beer too many and are required to put in a sprint to make the last train home.
