Regis Chakabva played a ball from the New Zealand spinner to mid-on, however, during his follow through Vettori proceeded to get in the way of Malcolm Waller, at the non-striker\u2019s end, preventing the Zimbabwean from running. <br \/>&nbsp;<br \/>Vettori immediately held up his hand to the wicketkeeper, Reece Young, to indicate there had been a collision, accidentally which hindered the non-striker. As this happened, Chakabva by this point was too far down the wicket to get back to his crease in time, the bails are whipped off at the striker\u2019s end but New Zealand elected not to appeal because of Vettori\u2019s admittance to blocking Waller\u2019s path. <br \/>&nbsp;<br \/>The gesture was done with the minimum of fuss by the former Black Caps\u2019 captain and was deemed by the Emirates Elite Panels of ICC Match Referees and Umpires as well as the ten Full Member Test captains as being the best illustration of the Spirit of Cricket out of all the other nominees. <br \/>&nbsp;<br \/>Upon receiving the award, Vettori said: \u201cIt was the right thing to do at the time and we as a team try and play with the right spirit of cricket. It\u2019s hard to define the spirit of cricket, but go out on the field with the general mind sight to play the game in the right way and always in the right frame of mind.<br \/>&nbsp;<br \/>\u201cI still think in trying to win a world tournament you have to try and win it in the right way and always with the spirit of cricket in&nbsp; mind.\u201d <br \/>&nbsp;<br \/>Vettori beat off competition from South Africa\u2019s AB de Villiers and Jacques Kallis as well as Mohammad Hafeez of Pakistan and West Indies\u2019 Kieron Pollard.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Colombo: New Zealand\u2019s Daniel Vettori has won the ICC Spirit of Cricket Award 2012 at the LG ICC Awards in Colombo.&nbsp;During New Zealand\u2019s first Test against Zimbabwe in November 2011 in Bulwayo, Zimbabwe required 64 runs with five wickets in hand to win the Test.
