He's not tall, bearded and bespectacled but Zimbabwe left-arm seamer Brian Vitori has a similar last name to New Zealand's champion spin bowler and could be the ace in the deck for the African nation in this week's one off-test in Napier.
With only two tests to his name, compared to Daniel Vettori's 107, there is a vast difference in experience but, aside from the last name, they also share another thing in common.
Vettori was thrown on the first-class stage for Northern Districts at only 17 and Vitori debuted in domestic one-day cricket for his home province of Masvingo when just 15.
Vitori could cause the New Zealand batsmen trouble during the McLean Park test, which starts tomorrow as he showed during his startling entry to international cricket.
The 21-year-old claimed consecutive five-wicket hauls in his first two one-day internationals as he tore through Bangladesh in Harare last August.
