Podcast appearances and mentions of Daniel Vettori

In a career that spanned 18 years, Daniel Vettori established himself as one of the finest left-arm spinners in cricket history.

In this episode of the show, Binksy, Baldy, Stu and Raj preview the IPL tournament, covering Mumbai, Punjab, Rajasthan, RCB and Sunrisers Hyderabad.Wall-to-wall T20 cricket is about to begin, with the IPL followed by the T20 World Cup and in this episode (part 2 of 2) we focus on five teams, discussing squad news, why each team can win, potential weaknesses, key players and predicted finishing order. We also give our overall tournament predictions, including semi-finalists, champions and the winners of the purple and orange caps.Teams covered are:Mumbai Indians: Mumbai have arguably the best batting lineup in the competition, stacked with local talent. There's the return of Hardik Pandya and what that might mean for the harmony of the side with him taking the captaincy from Rohit Sharma, plus a few question marks about their spinners - but does that even matter when Jasprit Bumrah is in your side?Punjab Kings: There's an English flavour to this squad, with Jonny Bairstow, Liam Livingstone, Chris Woakes and Sam Curran all set to feature during the tournament. Add the likes of Arshdeep Singh, Kagiso Rabada and Harshal Patel to that and the bowling attack looks solid, but can Shikhar Dhawan and co score enough runs to take them to the playoffs?Rajasthan Royals: T20 opening partnerships don't get much better than Yashasvi Jaiswal and Jos Buttler, and the addition of Shane Bond to the coaching staff has the New Zealanders excited for 2024. There's great spin depth, batting firepower and lovely Trent Boult, but where are the allrounders?Royal Challengers Bangalore: Virat Kohli! Faf du Plessis! Glenn Maxwell! Cameron Green! Mohammed Siraj! The RCB lineup won't be short on matchwinners, but who will fill the fourth overseas spot in the XI? And will their bowling lineup be able to defend anything under 200?Sunrisers Hyderabad: It was a busy auction for Daniel Vettori and the Orange Army. Pat Cummins joined as captain, plus Travis Head and Wanindu Hasaranga to round out a remarkably strong collection of 8 overseas players. Which four will they choose from game to game? We debate this, plus discuss whether Umran Malik can get back to his best, how much we'll miss Dale Steyn's hair and whether Captain Cummins's golden run is set to continue in 2024.

In this episode of the show, we look back at the World Test Championship final, which saw Australia defeat India to claim the title.We discuss the selections - most notably India leaving Ravichandran Ashwin on the bench - the toss, the pitch, the over rates, the format and even some of the actual cricket in what proved a fascinating contest, despite Australia holding the upper hand by tea on Day 1.There's praise for the brilliant partnership between Travis Head and Steve Smith, questions about India's decision to bowl Mohammed Siraj and Mohammed Shami for the entire first hour on Day 1, and a conversation about Scott Boland to discover what makes his performances at Test level so impressive.We also touch on the controversy surrounding Cameron Green's catch - and Shubman Gill's reaction - the brilliance of Steve Smith's catch to dismiss Virat Kohli, and completely forget to mention the two fighting knocks by Ajinkya Rahane or the fact that Daniel Vettori made sure at least one New Zealand hand remained on the mace.To round out the show, Stu discusses the talking points from the Black Caps' contract list - most notably the absence of Ajaz Patel and Jimmy Neesham, and potentially some good news for those hoping to see Trent Boult back in black more regularly over the next 12 months.Hot on the heels of this episode, we'll be back again with a full preview of the Ashes.

Mike Coward is among the world's most distinguished and distinctive cricket writers and broadcasters, although he graciously declines the title of “Australia's John Arlott.” He makes a welcome return to the crease as the guest of Peter Oborne and Richard Heller in their latest cricket-themed podcast.Mike begins by responding to a grim result (for Australia): the innings defeat within three days in the first Test of their current series in India. Coming after two unsatisfying one-sided domestic series against West Indies and South Africa, it strained the loyalty of Australian cricket fans to Test match cricket. Across the world, this format, the summit of the game cannot afford a succession of uncompelling, poorly followed series.Recovery from the defeat in Nagpur would be a major challenge for Pat Cummins, as captain, who had recently faced criticism at home for his progressive stance on social and environmental issues outside cricket. He believes that Cummins, in line with a growing number of modern sports personalities, will maintain his involvement in these issues and predicts that he will grow as a leader on and off the field.A rare bright spot for Australia in the recent match was the début performance, capturing seven Indian wickets in their sole innings, of the off-spinner Todd Murphy, selected after a handful of first-class matches. Mike profiles the player, whose spectacles have earned him the inevitable nickname of Harry Potter in succession to Australia's spin-bowling coach Daniel Vettori. He hails the temperament and methods which earned his success.Continue reading here: https://chiswickcalendar.co.uk/episode-112-after-a-hard-day-in-nagpur-the-great-cricket-writer-mike-coward-gives-a-masterclass-on-australian-cricket/Get in touch with us by emailing obornehellercricket@outlook.com, we would love to hear from you!

He is one of the most underrated cricketers in the world. As a captain, he changed the face of New Zealand Cricket, he was as impactful as Dada to India. He inspired today's kiwi side to set the new standards of sportsman spirit. He is only third cricketer on the world to deliver such great all-round performance.

We speak to former New Zealand captain Daniel Vettori about his coaching career, including his current role in The Hundred, and about mental health in cricket following Ben Stokes' announcement that he's taking an 'indefinite' break from the sport. Plus, we hear from the women's team in Barcelona which has run a successful campaign to create the city's first cricket pitch.

Continuing our Team Preview Series, we take a look at the Edgbaston based Birmingham Phoenix. Coached by Daniel Vettori, the Phoenix possess some of the finest T20 batters in world cricket in captain Moeen Ali and Liam Livingstone, and have some excellent flexibility in all departments. We take a look through their best team and give our predictions on how they'll perform this summer.

With Chris Woakes and Moeen Ali on the pitch, and Daniel Vettori pulling strings, you might think that Birmingham Phoenix are the 'nice guys' of The Hundred cricket. But will that translate into wins? Rich, Oli and Tom look at their chances of a team that have approached the draft process very differently: the early picks went to domestic stars like Liam Livingstone. Can Finn Allen, Adam Milne and Imran Tahir prove their point? This is The Hundred Club, cricket's newest fan community.

This was a game of debuts and comebacks and while the lineup was experimental, the action was familiar.Devon Conway scored runs. Ish Sodhi took wickets. Lockie Ferguson bowled fast. Bangladesh came second.This was the Black Caps' 30th international in all formats against Bangladesh at home. The score sits at 30-0.As long as the autumn rains hold off, you'd be a brave punter to bet against that sitting at 32-0 by the end of the week, such is the disparity in quality and more pointedly confidence between the two sides.New Zealand won this first T20 by 66 runs, the win set up by a huge total of 210-3 that was highlighted by Conway (92 not out), who also took the gloves for the first time in international cricket.Bangladesh never threatened as Sodhi (4-28) ripped the guts out of the chase. Afif Hossain (45) showed some resistance but his stay ended when Ferguson (2-25) made a mess of his stumps.It was a thoroughly professional performance from the hosts. Nearly everything went to plan – nearly…If you were tuning in to watch Finn Allen's debut it would have paid to be late.Facing fellow debutant Nasum Ahmed, Allen played back to a slider and watched as it slid past his blade onto leg stump.He becomes the first New Zealander to be clean bowled from his first ball in international cricket since nightlife specialist Tama Canning, who lost his poles to Mohammad Sami in an ODI in Lahore way back in 2003.It capped a beautiful opening over from Nasum. It's not being facetious to suggest it was the high point of the Bangladesh tour to that point. One of a number of spinners under the tutelage of Daniel Vettori, Nasum came back for a second spell and tricked Martin Guptill (35) into slapping a lofted drive to long-off.That brought together the talents of Will Young and Conway, long earmarked as the future of New Zealand batting. They gave a glimpse into what could be a fruitful long-term partnership with a stand of 105.What was notable was the classical nature of the stroke play, which isn't a word you usually associate with the game's most dynamic format.Young's 53 on debut was a delight, giving the public an appetiser for the sort of strokes he has on his menu. Two straight-driven sixes caught the eye, as did a flat pull that cleared the boundary by some distance.On another day his knock would be the primary talking point but at the other end Conway was doing Conway things.He feels like such a part of the furniture now you have to remind yourself that this is his first season of international cricket and he's yet to play a test.The series now moves to Napier on Tuesday.text by Dylan Cleaver, NZ Herald

Martin Devlin chats to former Black Caps great and current spin bowling coach for Bangladesh, Daniel Vettori - about the struggles of the Bangladesh side in this ODI series as well as what he makes of this current Black Caps side. 

On today's episode we're delighted to welcome TalkSPORT host, former Soccer AM presenter and life-long Cambridge United fan, Max Rushden. Having first explained to Max what exactly the Broken Trophy Podcast is all about - can you believe he didn't already know - we discuss a range of topics including; which is better a 147 or a 9 darter, the London Golf Show, Cambridge United Legends, social media and how to deal with trolls (and why it's called trolling in the first place). We also discuss Soccer AM, how Max got the job and how an anvil nearly sealed the deal in a Blue Peter audition. An incredible chat ends when Stefan mocks Tom for being a wannabe Max, Tom goes red before revealing how he (Tom) once nestled in the chest of New Zealand bowler, Daniel Vettori. 

In this episode of On The Front Foot, Bryan Waddle and Jeremy Coney wrap the second test between the Black Caps and the West Indies, Neil Wagner talks about 50 tests, Daniel Vettori chats spin bowling, and the Tied Test and Coronation Street turn 60 - guess which one Jerry watched!Haven't listened to a podcast before?

Shane Warne never managed to score a century in test cricket.Better known for his ability to terrorise batsmen with the ball in hand, the closest he came was scoring 99 against New Zealand in 2001 - before being caught on the boundary after trying to slog-sweep Daniel Vettori.The all-time cricket great would never better that score, and recounted the innings speaking with Martin Devlin."I had been batting pretty well for the day and we were in a lot of trouble," Warne said."New Zealand had played beautifully, were outplaying us and had been ahead in the game. I walked out to bat remembering we have to pass the follow-on."Warne batted away and reached 99, when Black Caps captain Stephen Fleming took the opportunity to try and get in the head of Warne.Shane Warne in action against New Zealand in 2005. Photo / Brett PhibbsSlowing down the game and holding up Vettori from bowling his delivery, Fleming decided to field at bat pad - very close to the batsman."Flem comes in, says there is plenty of gaps out there for you and I was thinking to myself, 'don't do anything silly, just pick the right ball'," Warne said."So a couple of balls go past and I think 'right, that's it. This one's going.'"In my head, I just thought a little sweep out to the boundary where there's a couple of fielders. Just sweep it along the carpet and get a single."I took this almighty wind up and tried to hit it for 12 back to Melbourne from Perth and bloody Mark Richardson had to take the catch."However, the Australian believed he was robbed of the momentous achievement that day, with replays showing Vetorri had bowled a no-ball.To this day, Warne remains the cricketer with the most test career runs in history without notching a century - with 3154 runs.A right-handed leg spinner, Warne was the second-highest wicket-taker in test cricket with 708. Muttiah Muralitharan recorded 800 wickets.Recently, life had been turned on its head for Warne following the outbreak of the coronavirus, much like everyone else, he said.But Warne had enjoyed his time, spending it with his children and staying in the one place for a good period of time.Cricket worldwide has been stopped due to the virus but Warne hoped to see a return by around July or August.Meanwhile, asked what Warne had hoped cricket fans thought of him following his extraordinary career, he said he hoped that people missed him."When I played I liked to be an entertainer - if they could just think 'jeez we miss him, I loved watching him play'," he told Devlin."That means I know that I did my role and played my part in cricket history, to say I entertained people, made it more interesting to watch and they had a bit of fun along the way." 

This week we are joined by New Zealand cricketer Bradley Scott who brings in a game from his own career, the NZ domestic cricket final between Auckland and Otago in 2008. Brad leads us through the game, reminisces on his time playing with legends such as Brendan McCullum and Daniel Vettori and gives the boys an inside perspective on the players and teams, life after cricket and how data and technology is changing the game. The victory in the final was sweet for Otago after a long premiership drought. We discuss other times in our lives when we have to wait years or even decades for success - whether in our careers, as sport fans or our personal lives. Brad reminds us that sticking at it eventually pays off - even the longest wait is worth it in the end! Today's game - State Shield Final, Auckland vs Otago, March 2nd 2008

Dietary Requirements is The Spinoff’s monthly podcast in which we eat, drink and talk about it too, with special thanks to Freedom Farms.The Dietary Requirements crew had been anticipating the arrival of Duck Island's first non-Hamilton shop for months, so when the dreamy ice cream parlour finally opened its doors in Ponsonby, we thought what better way to celebrate than by recording a bloody podcast there.Amidst sky-high towers of ice cream, traffic noise and bottles of wine hidden in brown paper bags, we discussed NZ's ridiculously high per-capita ice-cream consumption, learnt the origin story of the best thing to come out of Hamilton since Daniel Vettori, and were unexpectedly graced by the presence of Mr Eat Lit Food himself, Albert Cho.

Growing up in the Victorian countryside, Dylan James Buckley dreamed of two things... Being the host of Australia’s favourite sporting podcast and smacking Daniel Vettori over the fence for six. He doesn’t like cricket... He loves it. Great song, great podcast. He also loves his good mates Mitchell Starc and Nathan Lyon. What’s it like donning the baggy green? Do they feel the weight of expectation from this cricket-obsessed country? What do they really eat during the tea break? The Bucka Boy takes a peg at the stumps and nails it. Howzat?!

Dan Norcross is forced to issue a moratorium on criticism of Uncle Dan, as the youth wing joins him to recap all the action from the T20 Blast

Captain Kane Williamson and coach Mike Hesson should be axed from the New Zealand T20 setup.That's the call from leading commentator Simon Doull, the former international, who wants Martin Guptill installed as the new captain. Doull suggested New Zealand great Daniel Vettori — who coaches in the IPL and Big Bash — as a coaching candidate.Doull says New Zealand is constantly found out when the pressure goes on against good sides, and believes the current T20 outfit has too many ties to the test squad.He described Hesson as a great coach, but believes he needs more breaks while the T20 side needs a specialist, more up-to-date boss.Doull said Australia had just one test player in their T20 side while the Black Caps had seven.Williamson, Ross Taylor and Tim Southee were among the players who should be dropped, with the likes of Anton Devcich, Mark Chapman and Tim Seifert promoted. The only regular test players who should survive, in Doull's opinion, were Colin de Grandhomme, Mitchell Santner and Trent Boult.Doull told the Radio Sport Breakfast: "I don't think we are getting the selections right — I've had some concerns for a while."I would like to see Colin de Grandhomme batting higher but it is the selections, not the batting order (which is the problem). We want dynamic players and should be giving them an opportunity at T20 level."If Kane Williamson doesn't open in T20 he shouldn't be playing. His record opening is very good, at three and four it's not that great. But he shouldn't be in the T20 side, there's a lot shouldn't be in the T20 side."Williamson averages about 38 as a T20 opener, and 22 batting elsewhere. He had a shocker in the Tri-Series opener in Sydney, scoring eight off 21 deliveries against the Australians batting at number three.Williamson was dismissed for just 8 runs from 21 balls in Sydney. (Photo Photosport)Doull said Guptill was New Zealand's senior white ball specialist who would "relish the captaincy and responsibility". Coach Hesson, meanwhile, needed the chance to freshen up."He's a great coach who has done an amazing job, and has really grown into the job," Doull said."But he gets very little time off, only a small amount of time with his family. Give him T20 completely off, get a new coach, new ideas, a new bunch of players."(The coach) probably needs to have played the game to understand it a bit better. The Northern Knights had Gareth Hopkins solely as their T20 coach and he played until recently. The rest of the coaches around the country are a bit older, out of touch with T20."On the Tri-Series, Doull initially picked England as the team to beat but was extremely impressed with an Australian side packed with rising specialists."They've got guys with great slower balls, variations, long batting power. It is a very, very good T20 side and I can see Australia upsetting England," he said.

  This podcast features Nathan McCullum (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nathan_McCullum) , former New Zealand International Cricketer and now Senior Recruiter at Stellar Recruitment (http://www.stellsrrecruitment.com/) . Born and bred in South Dunedin, New Zealand he came from a successful family framework which always supported each other. Nathan suffered from Perthes Disease (http://orthoinfo.aaos.org/topic.cfm?topic=a00070) at a young age and was in a wheelchair for 9 months. The doctors constantly told Nathan that he could never run or play sports, however this proved to be the catalyst for his passion in achieving great success in cricket. “How do you define success?
