It almost slipped by unnoticed as Daniel Vettori took his place among the game's elite allround cricketers, writes David Leggat in the New Zealand Herald.
When he got his 29th and last run in New Zealand's first innings against West Indies, it took him to 3000 Test runs, to sit alongside 285 wickets. He became the seventh player to reach the 3000-run, 250-wicket double, and the second New Zealander, after Sir Richard Hadlee, who retired in 1990 with the then world record 431 wickets to go with 3124 runs.
