Don't think Smith realises the power of the triple roll-eyes, world wars have been started over less (single roll-eyes etc).

I think you should have a look at:
Roll-eyes: Impact and effect on today's society. Hiemstra, R., & Brier, E. M. (1994).

Vettori is a far better bowler, fielder and batsman than Giles on any given day and in any form of the game.
Giles is an not a overly talented bloke but still he is an effective player for England but nothing more than that, but on the other hand Vettori is a naturally talented and is very much capable of turning a game on its head.

Disagree whole-heartedly Ed. Panesar is not yet worthy to be mentioned in the same breath as Vettori as a bowler

Vettori's a terribly overrated test bowler IMO. Though it has nothing to do with my dig.

As terribly overated as Shane Watson?

Watson's irrelevant to the line of questions at the moment.
Vettori has been a bowler who has gone through real dips and troughs throughout his career, and I think a lot of that can be put down to his action which doesn't seem to be all that consistent one game from the other. Only recently has he been able to keep everything in check game after game, and I see Vettori post '04 - '05 or so as a much different bowler to the one who preceeded him.

Haha, nah not really. Pretty much every person you'll ever meet in Australia hates Watson. There's been campaigns in the media for him to be dropped from the ODI side for Stuart Clark ffs. (that's the NSW media for ya though).
In any case, Jack's got more insights into his fellow Left armer than I do. I'll go with his post. He certainly has improved recently with his consistency.

Vettori by miles. Vettori is unthreatening and economical, Giles is unthreatening and expesnive, and crap.

No one has seemed to take into account:
1. Half of the matches Vettoris plays in are at home, and nz conditions are fairly unresponsive for him.
2. Vettori's workload is MASSIVE overseas, where the nz seamers cannot seem to bowl as well as they do at home. You often see him take 5 wickets in an innings in australia, sri lanka, etc, for about 140 runs, which makes an average average, even though his wicket-taking is keeping New Zealand in the game.
