/threadShakib is way better than Vettori with the ball.
Or quicks even.....Vettori would've had a lot more success as a bowler if he'd had two or three really good quickest bowl with.
Even if true, that just means New Zealand are ****. It doesn't make Vettori a better player just because he ranks higher in his own side.comeon man! the way the whole kiwi team has been playing, show me one player whom u can straight away say that "Yes, this guy has performed for us consistently for the past decade".
I dont think there is any such player and chris martin only comes near.

He has been bowling with some guys who have been doing well, and he's doing far worse.Or quicks even.....
Is he one of the best six bats in NZ in your opinion?He has been bowling with some guys who have been doing well, and he's doing far worse.
We skittled Australia and the Windies without him in the side. With him in the side we looked like we lacked some extra penetration.
imo Yes in last five years, easily. Though he's gone through a wretched run in the last year or at least since that 96 in Brisbane. I also have doubts that he wants to see himself as a batsman and take responsibility of batting at six. That's a problem because his bowling is just not worth enough for him to bat at eight in the current NZ side.Is he one of the best six bats in NZ in your opinion?
Rehman is better than the others left arm bowlers.Rehman is quality but he's usually bowling in tandem with Saeed Ajmal, which I think makes it much easier for him. Herath, on the other hand, doesn't have the same quality of bowler at the other end to keep the pressure on the batsmen, but still seems to be getting the job done.
For that reason, I'd put Herath just above Rehman, Vettori 3rd.
FWIW, I'd rank Shakib Al Hasan ahead of Vettori at the moment. Deonarine took more wickets in one test [6/80, 2nd test vs NZ] than Vettori has taken in 2012 [5], that's how innocuous Vettori has become of late.
Currentlybest six you mean present best 6 or all time?
