Going for the strangle is a legitimate tactic in ODIs. The BCs did it when we bowled 40 overs a match of Patel, Larsen, Watson, Latham and Harris. Almost made it to a CWC final that way.

We did it in later years too between Bond and the second coming of Southee. Sometimes we packed the ring and just bowled Vettori, Nathan McCullum, Oram et al.

It's a negative tactic but once you concede that you're not going to bowl the opposition out in 50 overs you're effectively bowling to contain from that point onwards.
Vettori was a world class limited overs spin bowler, wtf are you comparing him with Nathan McCullum for?
