Too much power for Vettori

Adrian Seconi of the Otago Times argues that in the absence of both a coach and a vice- captain, and having been vested with the powers of a selector, Daniel Vettori has too much control over New Zealand cricket.

What is the difference between Daniel Vettori and Brian Tamaki? The Black Caps do not bow when they approach Vettori . . . yet.

Whether it is by circumstance or Machiavellian design, the left-arm spinner has acquired enough power to dim the environmentally friendly and energy-efficient lights over Seddon Park.

He's now a selector, the stand-in coach, the captain, a leading bowler and one of our best batsmen.
