Vett's set!

He's technically the best left-arm spinner in the world at present, says Indian spin legend Bishan Singh Bedi. Skipper Stephen Fleming thinks he is the best bowler in the side and he justifies the confidence.

Indeed, he has it all: flight, loop, turn, control.

Bedi says that Vettori had once asked him how to bowl to Sachin Tendulkar. "I said don't bowl too full; he's a short man and loves to drive, so if you keep it slightly short, and tempt him into driving, Sachin might give a return catch," replied Bedi. Next game, Vettori followed the advice and got the master batsman out.
