Captain, allrounder, selector, sometime coach and now New Zealand cricketer of the year ... Daniel Vettori can do it all.

Vettori was tonight named as New Zealand's cricketer of the year for the 2009-10 season, the second successive time the national team's captain has picked up the major gong at New Zealand Cricket's annual awards function in Auckland.

His dominance is not a recent trend either because the left-arm spinner and inventive middle-lower order batsman has now won the award four times in the past six years.

Vettori, 31, also won the Winsor Cup for first-class bowling and the Walter Hadlee Trophy for one-day international bowling.

In the award period Vettori hit 742 test runs at an average of 49.46, 398 one-day runs at 30.61 and 120 Twenty20 runs at 24.00. As well, his spin bowling returned 32 test wickets at 36.75, 27 one-day wickets at 20.29 and 10 Twenty20 wickets at 22.80.
